Don't know if he was soliciting or not. Common sense says to me that you should be doing a lot more than tapping your foot or someone seeing your hand from a bathroom stall to be arrested. But, that's just me. All I am certain about is don't admit to anything just to make it "go away". To be honest, I never heard of him and don’t know anything about him.

Have you noticed how hard he has been fighting in public actually for the length of his career but then he <em>pleads guilty</em> to make it <em>go away</em>? Doesn't fit his profile, if he's willing to fight everyplace else why wasn't he willing to fight for his innocence? He's been willing to put his fight for innocence out in the open before why hide this time? "you solicited me" That's not a defense, that's an admission he <em>knew the game</em> to begin with. Maybe it's all a misunderstanding, if it is, it's sure out of context. I think there’s a good chance he’s guilty.

I still dont care for he whole gay agenda either, but whats the deal here? oh he was married already? ok. We'll thats between him and is wife to sort out.
