Can I be hired?

[jimmy17]

Hi everyone my name is Jim from NY state. I have a question about a item in my background. When I was 18yo soon to be 19 my friends took me to a Canadian strip club in Niagra Falls. One of my friends asked me if i had $20 and I gave it to him thinking his was going to buy more drinks with it. Turned out he threw that $20 dollars in with a bunch of other people at the club to buy me Oral Sex. I went along with it like anyone that age would do. Am I forever Doomed?

How does 16 apply?

[Firemedic515]

I think Chief Lepore meant 14 and 15.

[baileydonk]

Hmm... number 14, "other considerations"... pretty vague definition of prostitition. I bet they get some interesting responses in the "please explain" section.

[Golzy12]

How does 16 apply?

Maybe he stole the prostitute's heart.

[DennisTheMenace]

What happens in Canadia, stays in Canadia.

[DDD123]

Jimmy, I think your going to be okay here…. Unless of course, the hooker you visited in Canada sits on your ORAL board. I think maybe you might want to focus some of your paranoid attention elsewhere. Good luck

[mitllesmertz1]

Were you arrested and convicted?
If not, I think you're probably ok, unless the girl filed a tax return listing your name as a client.

[miked2424]

Good luck with your ORAL Jimmy
