Legal Services For Sex

(Round Rock, Texas) Prominent lawyer and school board member, Steven C. Copenhaver, 56, was arrested for prostitution, attempting to barter legal services in exchange for kinky sex. He was booked and released on $750 bond.

Copenhaver offered to represent a woman's husband if she and her sister-in-law would have a threesome with him. The woman, Leigh Heavin, and sister-in-law, Malinda Tilley, met with Copenhaver who asked for the sexual favors unaware that there were witnesses hiding in an adjacent room. Police were called, Copenhaver was arrested.

Interestingly, trading legal services for sexual favors may not be unethical, although, according to Dawn Miller, chief disciplinary counsel for the State Bar of Texas, it might be a violation of the rules on fees.

My guess would be that Copenhaver has pulled this stunt before.
