That's always been the point. "sounds precisely like what he's been charged with" - well, (a) he hasn't been charged yet, in the British or US sense - they want him for questioning; (b), 'sounds like'? You're saying the accusation sounds like itself? You're not making any sense.

Yours is the first time I've ever heard anyone call the women 'prostitutes'; I think that just came from your own assumptions, rather than any 'initial report'.
