It has to be said, when the sex industry is portrayed in the media, there is usually a hugely negative undertone in the reporting. Take this story coming out of America today regarding a call girl, a Google executive, drugs and death. She has been charged with manslaughter.
Surveillance footage from the yacht shows Tichelman gather her belongings, including the heroin and needles, instead of phoning an ambulance or trying first aid. She then stepped over his body to finish a glass of wine. After that, she lowered a blind and left the boat. The man, identified as Forrest Timothy Hayes, suffered medical complications and went unconscious during the drug fuelled encounter.
It also seems that police are investigating her over a similar incident in another state, according to Santa Cruz deputy police chief Steve Clark. Police said Tichelman, who claims she has had more than clients, met her clients through the website, SeekingArrangement. Here is my problem with this story. Far too much has been placed on to the fact that she is a call girl. If she has just wandered off and let someone die, then she is a pretty cold hearted individual.
But why is so much relevance being placed on the fact she works in the sex industry, and that she has had over clients?
This, seems to be a way of just pointing out that she is lacking in morals. Adding to that, the linking of prostitution and drugs is, in my opinion, a way of attacking the industry in general. I would have to agree with that. You could hardly ignore the fact that there were drugs involved, and that she was there in a professional capacity.
