WHITELAND --A manager's attentive eye led to a prostitution arrest at a truck stop in Johnson County Monday evening, activity that sheriff's officials say is a constant nuisance.

Carrisa G. Chapman, 21, Jeffersonville, Ind., was charged with prostitution after being arrested at the Flying J Truck Stop in Whiteland.

Sheriff's deputies were called to the Pilot Truck Stop off I-65 on Monday after the manager, Albert Adams, reported suspicious activity. A report was filed the previous day about possible prostitution occurring at Pilot and at Flying J, both on Whiteland Road.

Adams told deputies that a gray Ford Escort with two CB antennas had visited the truck stop up to 30 times over the past two months.

"We're constantly having these types of problems," Chief Deputy Doug Cox said of prostitution at the two truck stops. "They're just hard to nab."

After spotting the vehicle at the Pilot facility, sheriff's deputies and Indiana State Police troopers followed the Escort to Flying J, where it stopped in the rear of the facility where semi-trailers were parked.

After surveillance, deputies saw Chapman exit a semi and get into the Escort, which they stopped. They also removed the semi driver from his truck.

Under questioning, Chapman said she went on the CB asked if anyone wanted "some company." A man answered back and asked where she was. At the time, Chapman was parked at the Pilot Truck Stop, and the person on the CB was at Flying J.

Chapman went to Flying J and found the semi driver, Clayton L. Woodman, 47, East Leroy, Mich., who admitted to deputies that he paid Chapman $80 for sex.

The driver of the Escort, who told deputies that he was Chapman's husband, said he had brought Chapman to the truck stop to see a friend. According to a probable cause affidavit, Chapman is eight months pregnant.

Woodman was issued a summons for patronizing a prostitute and released from the scene. The driver of the Escort was not charged.

Chapman, who remains in the Johnson County Jail, faces up to one year in jail and $5,000 in fines.

If you want to call the Johnson County Police and inquire as to why a 21-year-old woman who is eight months pregnant was arrested (she posted bail) while the john got a citation and was released and the husband/pimp was let go without any charge, here are some numbers:

Officer Randy Warden 317.736.5155
Investigation Division 317.736.2204

I called. Officer Randy Warden told me the woman was arrested because she was caught in the act. I asked why the husband wasn't arrested for pimping, and he said the prosecutor on the scene determined there was no proof he was pimping so they couldn't arrest him.

Incredulous, I pressed further and got the reply, "He's her husband and she won't testify against him, and without someone willing to testify we don't have a case so we didn't arrest him."

I asked why driving his 8-month pregnant wife to truck stops 30 times in the past two months (according to witnesses), waiting while his very pregnant wife got fucked in trucks, then taking the money from her didn't provide enough evidence to make an arrest, not even as an accessory to the crime. He replied, "It's her body, she is responsible for it, we caught her in the act."

It's her body, police say.
It's her body, prosecutors say.
It's her body, johns say.
It's her body, pornographers say.
It's her body, sex positive bloggers say.
It's her body, liberal feminists say.

She is responsible for it.
She is responsible for it.

Yeah, when I questioned Louisiana state officials about their "acts against nature" or something like that, they informed me that when a prostitute gives a john a blow job, she is committing a crime against the john, who is the victim. The reason I asked was when I wondered about the high number of women and transexuals photographs on their sex offenders web site.
