Joseph Cyr may not have a criminal record but soliciting a prostitute is illegal in the State of Oklahoma.
LE obtained a search warrant for Joseph Cyr’s cell phone and I wonder if his phone records and computer show he contacted someone besides Jaymie Adams for the purpose of prostitution?
I’m glad LE now have a sample of Cyr’s DNA and know where he lives.
Justin Adams admitted he was prostituting himself so will he be charged with prostitution at his arraignment this Friday?
Justin Adams has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and the State of Oklahoma still has the death penalty; however, on October 10th 2012, Senator Constance Johnson pledged to abolish the state's death penalty.
To date 183 individuals have been executed in Oklahoma. Most recently, Michael E. Hooper was killed using lethal injection in August.
Johnson said she will be proposing legislation to abolish the death penalty in Oklahoma next session. This is not the first time she has authored an abolition bill, but she said her proposed legislation has never even been heard on the floor or even granted a hearing in committee.
Advocates of abolishing the death penalty Wednesday also discussed starting a petition drive to get a sense of where Oklahomans stand on the issue and to work toward getting a question on the ballot.

Prostitution is illegal in the United States except in certain counties in the state of Nevada. Prostitution laws make it a crime in most states to offer, agree to, or engage in any type of sexual act for compensation. Depending upon the applicable laws of the state, the stages of a typical prostitution "transaction" can involve charges against the supplier of services (prostitution),
the customer paying for the services (solicitation of prostitution), and any middleman involved in the transaction (pimping).
Some jurisdictions will impound your vehicle if you used it attempting to hire a prostitute, while others will publish your name in the local newspapers.
The average punishment for being caught patronizing a prostitute for the first time can be a fine of anywhere from $100 to $250. A suspended sentence means that the judge will accept the guilty plea and not sentence you as long as you aren't arrested for anything else during your probation. A six-month period of unsupervised probation is usually the sentence. If you are arrested while on probation, expect the judge to impose the previously suspended charges, especially if it's a charge of prostitution again.
Prostitution is a touchy subject as far as civil liberties are concerned. Steps to legalize prostitution have been considered to make it a regulated and safer practice, but these are likely to be continually shot down by conservatives.
If you have been charged will prostitution or soliciting a prostitute you are in need of legal counsel. An experienced criminal attorney can help you receive the least punitive sentence possible.
