WorldNetDaily.Com reported in August about a California high school teacher who was recently arrested while moonlighting as a prostitute.
Shannon Williams, 37, defended her work as a prostitute arguing that, “As a feminist I believe in every woman’s right to self-determination, and that includes sexually and economically. Women who work in the sex industry are entrepreneurs and should be granted the same rights as other business people.”
Williams was arrested in her apartment in August after agreeing to have sex for money with an undercover cop.
Williams was offered a plea bargain whereby she would have plead guilty to a misdemeanor and in exchange would only have paid a small fine. Instead she chose to plead innocent to the charge of prostitution, and apparently plans to defend herself by arguing that she has a right to prostitute herself.
