Randy lawyer offers stripper free advice – in return for SEX
A RANDY lawyer has been struck off after he attempted to barter sex from a stripper in exchange for handling her divorce case.
The mandate annulling McGinnis Hatfield’s license to practice law was handed down from the West Virginia Supreme Court.
The case dates back to 2013 when Hatfield visited the Cherry Bomb Gentleman’s Club in Bluefield, West Virginia, with a friend, according to court documents.
For legal reasons, the woman involved is only identified as B.W.
“While at the club, the friend introduced Mr. Hatfield to B.W. Mr. Hatfield claims that he then proceeded to pay B.W. for a lap dance,” the disbarring notice from the West Virginia Supreme Court document states.
Explicit
After this meeting, B.W. filed a complaint against Hatfield – alleging that she later asked him to represent her in a divorce case and he asked for explicit sexual favours because she could not afford his fee.
B.W. included six audio recordings of telephone conversations with Hatfield in her complaint.
Transcripts of the audio recordings include detailed and graphic conversations between the two.
In one transcript, Hatfield asks B.W. if the sexual exchange for payment is okay and she responds, “I mean no, not really because I’m not a whore.”
Hatfield responds, “Well, I’m not treating you as a whore. I’m just telling you, I’m an old man that needs some sex and I like you. And if you want to do it, that’s fine. If you don’t, that’s okay, too. I know you’re not a whore. That’s ridiculous. But I’ve been straight up with you …”
