Centralia police ended up arresting two people after a complaint by an “escort” against a 40-year-old Centralia man yesterday.
The woman called 911 about 10:25 a.m. in the morning to report she’d been raped, according to the Centralia Police Department.
According to police, she told a dispatcher the customer refused to pay her after they had sex, and in her mind, that was rape.
Centralia police say the man however, secretly recorded their conversation, which confirmed once he refused to pay her, she told him she was going to call the police and report that he forcibly raped her.
The “date” associated with a location on the 2100 block of North Tower Avenue, came out of a advertisement on Backpage.com, that got her to agree to his proposal to pay her for sex if she came to his home, according to police.
Both parties were booked into the Lewis County Jail. The Centralia man for patronizing a prostitute and the 31-year-old woman for malicious prosecution, according to police.
Officers will ask prosecutors to also consider a prostitution charge for the woman, according to police.

Bottom line, he made the decision to pay for a service and didn’t pay. Yeah prostitution is illegal (which it shouldn’t be if it was was regulated) and the dumass recorded their conversation. HOW smart was he? NOT so much. This makes me laugh because of how stupid the “John” was. Guess what? The 31 yr old female will have far more less charges than the dumass “John” in the end. And consensual or not, a deal is a deal; whether verbal or written.
What an idiot he is. Never invite someone to your house and then piss them off. She now knows where he live’s and she is going to get even.

“Most prostitutes will tell you they are forced into prostitution to support a drug addiction.”
Which just adds to the fallacy that drug use is a victimless crime.
Can’t rape the willing.
Most prostitutes will tell you they are forced into prostitution to support a drug addiction. Yet they are often the ones arrested, while the “John” skips on home to give his wife or girlfriend HIV, Hep-C or some other lovely gift.
“Johns” are seldom arrested, despite being the ones who actively seek out the prostitutes, are often repeat customers and appear to enjoy the nasty encounters.
It’s actually nice to see that the man was named and jailed as well as the woman (whose cry of “rape” is, I agree, a slap to anyone who has truly experienced rape).
So.. how much money are we talking here? I mean, I have never gotten that answered. say.. overnight..
It would have helped to have pictures with this article. I was thinking that perhaps Mr. Flournoy refused to pay because the lady was a few kilos heavier than the super model he had been promised:)
What a lame guy. He’s having to pay for sex and then skips out on the bill. I’m sure the young lady wasn’t thrilled about performing for this guy in the first place since he is a dunce. She did her part so pay her!
Another point about this guy…why was he recording it? Clearly a weirdo.
By the way, I am in favor of prostitution because in my mind it’s not that different than what you get out of marriage. Except in marriage you pay A LOT more. Anyways, get rid of the prostitution laws and regulate it. Why does the state have any say as to whether somebody wants to buy quick sex or not? BUTT OUT! (pardon the pun)
Wouldn’t it just be a lot less trouble to pay the woman? Maybe the service wasn’t satisfactory. Still not worth going to jail. Must be more to this bizarre story.
Ill see you soon bitch
Surprised it wasn’t Amy!
This County is awful smh so stupid….
She agreed to have sex with him, so that isn’t rape. Theft of services maybe.
Welcome to Lewis county.
