Legal or not, it put him in a dangerous situation politically if he were to be exposed as a "john." If it came out that he frequented the hooker scene, Geary would have had to find a new line of work. [/b]
This was in 1959. In those days the press never reported on the sex lives of politicians....look at JFK. If there was a dead prostitute and a Senator however, all bets would have been off. [/QB]
I see your point about the way the media operated then vs now. But let's say Michael was backing another candidate running against Geary. Don't you think Michael would somehow "leak" the information to damage Geary? Politics has been dirty from day one.
