Former NBA player and basketball analyst Greg Anthony was arrested two weeks ago for soliciting a prostitute as part of a sting operation. Now we have some details about the case.
The Washington Post reports that Anthony responded to an ad he saw on backpage.com that was posted by the undercover officer. The ad was for an escort.
The Post provides the details:
According to the charging documents, when the undercover officer arrived at Anthony’s room around 5:45 p.m. the undercover officer said it cost $80 for sex. Anthony immediately tried to rebuff such talk and said “Oh I don’t wanna say all that.” The undercover officer responded “I just need to know so I don’t have any surprises.”
After the two discussed the type of sex, the undercover officer then asked “You want me to dress up?” Anthony responded “oh yeah.” No further details were given.
Anthony was arrested at a DoubleTree hotel in Washington, D.C., where he was staying ahead of a Maryland-Michigan State game he was scheduled to broadcast for CBS. The sting operation apparently was created as a response to complaints of prostitution in the area.
Perhaps it was just a matter of time before the ex-player-turned broadcaster was busted for this considering he allegedly has a prostitution habit.
