This is a follow up to the May 23, 2016 article "Obama
Following Gay Porn Stars On Twitter" in reference
to the RentBoy.com prostitution website President Obama's
official Twitter page has been following online. When news
broke that Obama has been following the gay prostitution
website on Twitter it did nothing for rumors swirling around
Washington political circles that the president had an
affair in the White House with former body man, Reggie Love.
The CEO of Rentboy.com, Jeffrey Hurant, has pled guilty to
promoting prostitution through his website. RentBoy.com is
known among gays as a website to make arrangements with male
prostitutes, who paid RentBoy.com to advertise their illegal
services online. In America, it is illegal to advertise
prostitution online. Hurant is facing 21-months in prison
and a whopping fine of $10,000,000, targeting the proceeds
of his crimes.

Under a plea deal, Hurant agreed not to

company also cannot appeal a penalty of $10 million or less.
Sentencing guidelines call for a maximum sentence of 21
months. Hurant, 51, and his attorney left court without
speaking to reporters. Sentencing was set for Feb. 2.
Prosecutors had alleged that Rentboy was the
equivalent of an online brothel, and what the site called
escorts were actually prostitutes. They said part of the
proof were in the explicit ads that featured nude photos,
listings of all manner of physical attributes and pricing
options ranging from $150 an hour to $3,500 for a weekend...
