Published: January 23, 2008
LARGO - A man and two women were arrested Tuesday evening on charges they illegally passed themselves off as licensed massage therapists and then performed the massages in the nude or offered their clients sex.
The trio were arrested after an undercover operation by the Largo Police Department at 13625 Icot Blvd.
Brooke Lindsey Tatman, 20, of Seminole, was charged with unlicensed practice of a health care profession and unlawful use of a two-way device. The latter charge stemmed from her use of a cell phone to set up a rendezvous with an undercover detective, authorities said.
Tatman performed the massage in the nude on the undercover detective, according to an arrest affidavit.
Also arrested was Jude Dentici, who arrest affidavits say also performed a massage on an undercover detective while nude. The 19-year-old Seminole woman also was charged with unlicensed practice of a health care profession.
Jail affidavits state that she and Tatman advertised on the Internet, on craigslist, under the category of erotica.
The third person arrested was Robert "Dickie" Lamert, 22, arrest affidavits state. He offered to massage an undercover detective and perform sex acts on him, affidavits state.
He was charged with the unlicensed practice of a health care profession and solicitation of prostitution.

This whole prostitution law is a joke if you ask me... Sex is seldom free... Whether you spend money on dinner and a movie, then cover charge at a club, then paying for the number of drinks necessary to get that special person to come back home with you. You ultimately end up paying.... Somehow, some way... So what difference does it make if you would rather skip the small talk and get straight to business. Nevada has the right idea. Legalize it, Regulate it heavily, and go after "REAL" Criminals.
