Court rules sex lures not proper enticement
In Daytona Beach a Florida appeals court tossed a drug case after finding that sex is too powerful an inducement for crime. The state’s Third District Court of Appeal, in a ruling by Judge Joe Cowart Jr, said an informant used kissing and promises of sexual favors to lure James R. Banks, 29, of Inverness, into obtaining cocaine. Three Citrus County deputies hid in a house closet during the attempted sting. Banks maintained he was not involved with drugs when approached, but he later supplied a gram of cocaine after the informant promised weekend companionship.
