Police busts on sugardating websites

Nope. Prostitution is the only crime that involves selling what one can legally give away. A sugarbaby is in a grey area between a street-walker and a girl who expects expensive meals and/or gifts before she'll put out.

Sugarbaby sounds much more expensive then OTC, or CL.

Sofaking - it is

It doesn't have to be more expensive. I've had some experiences with these sites and I've had several sugarbabies give it up for $100. The most I ever paid was $300 and that was for overnighters or all day at her place.

Interestingly, there was a new feature on my local station last night about this topic and it was mentioned that it is not illegal unless the agreement is for sex specifically.

I haven't heard of any busts relating to these sites, but it wouldn't surprise me if they happen. If LE were so inclined to run sting, a good number of these girls are just backpage/CL girls branching out. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to find some arrests somewhere.
