You are an ethics expert: is it right to use someone else’s credit card to pay for sex?
From Adam Sage in Paris

The Times

A PROMINENT French magistrate could face disciplinary action after he allegedly stole a German colleague’s credit card to pay for a prostitute, having earlier delivered an hour-long speech on ethics.

Pierre Hontang, the state prosecutor in Bayonne, southwest France, will be suspended by the French Justice Ministry after suggestions of improper conduct during a conference in Germany this year. M Hontang has declined to comment on the allegations.

A French investigating magistrate is undertaking a criminal inquiry into the incidents at the Fifth Conference of European General Prosecutors at Celle in Lower Saxony.

M Hontang, one of France’s most eminent jurists, attended the conference in May as a keynote speaker in a debate on Fundamental Principles of Ethics for Prosecutors.

It's not alright to use someone else's credit card to buy anything without permission.
