Warren Sapp was arrested in Phoenix this morning for soliciting a prostitute around 7AM ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Sapp was also arrested for assault.

The 42-year-old "Dancing with the Stars" alum was booked just a few minutes ago.

Sapp was in Phoenix covering the Super Bowl for the NFL Network.

It's not Warren's first arrest -- he was busted in 2010 for domestic battery, but those charges were eventually dropped. He was also arrested for an alleged domestic battery in Miami in 2014.

[Mr. Laz]

He probably just lost his Espn job.

[Katipan]

He would look so pretty in pink.

[Ebolapox]

he was randy moss before randy moss was randy moss. incredible talent that dropped in the draft b/c of off-field issues (pot).

[gblowfish]

The cops said he came up to the hooker and asked her if she'd dress up like Rich Gannon and let him smack her around in a hotel room, screaming "STAY DOWN BITCH!"

This is not going to end well for him....

[Katipan]

15 years of pot smoking and I've yet to pick up my first prostitute.

:sulk:

[WhawhaWhat]

He probably just lost his Espn job.

and his CBS job.

[ptlyon]

HAY BABY WANNA GO OUT

[tecumseh]

Whatta Sap.

[BigMeatballDave]

Dumbass

[In58men]

Don't care

[srvy]

LMAO One of the biggest douche bags ever. If this gets him the boot out the door of NFL Network thanks God, Allah, Buddha or who ever.

Up next Mike Ervin please!

[BucEyedPea]

Who cares? Lots of men, including judges and college professors, go to hookers.

[Beef Supreme]

Can't even get a hooker after the Super Bowl anymore. Country is going to shit.

[Coochie liquor]

I wonder if she was white??

[In58men]

Who cares? Lots of men, including judges and college professors, go to hookers.

People act like this is shocking.

Well ESPN will have something to talk now for another week straight.

[jonzie04]

Damn, I like Sapp. But, He's famous and charming guy. Not sure why he'd need to pick up a hooker. I guess he didn't feel like working for it that night lol.

[morphius]

I love after his all pro football career that they recognize him as, "The 42-year-old "Dancing with the Stars" alum ."

ROFL

[The Franchise]

At 7 AM?

[Coochie liquor]

All I know is if she called him "boy" he wouldn't have tipped her.

[jonzie04]

I love after his all pro football career that they recognize him as, "The 42-year-old "Dancing with the Stars" alum ."

And a former Oakland raider. Did they even mention the bucs? Lol

Edit. Nvm that was another article that listed him as a raider wo mentioning the bucs

[DaneMcCloud]

What a dummy. The guy was earning $50k a month.

[ptlyon]

At 7 AM?

Shit yes, that's prime time. Any hooker that haven't filled their quota for the night are desperate! Bargain bin shopping hoes!

[BWillie]

Damn, I like Sapp. But, He's famous and charming guy. Not sure why he'd need to pick up a hooker. I guess he didn't feel like working for it that night lol.

Why he would need to? Easy. You don't pay for the sex, he's paying her to leave.

[jwazzie]

I think Greg Anthony, former NBA player and now College BB Analyst, was arrested a couple of weeks ago for the same thing and maybe the same area as well. Morons.

[Mr. Laz]

Didn't Sapp just lose half his shit to a divorce and bankruptcy or something?

[BucEyedPea]

I thought he went bankrupt. Then again, that's not uncommon for former NFL players. That's why their union now has classes on how to manage money.

[ptlyon]

Didn't Sapp just lose half his shit to a divorce and bankruptcy or something?

If he didn't before, he just did to an undercover hooker

WARREN SAPP'S EX-WIFE
YOU STILL OWE ME $3 MILLION

1231-warren-sapp-tmz-01

Warren Sapp ain't out of his ex-wife's doghouse yet ... at least according to court docs which show the NFL legend has still not paid more than $3 million in back support ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Here's the deal ... Sapp filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy back in 2012 ... and all of his many, many debts were made public.

One of those debts is owed to Jamiko Sapp ... the mother of two of his children ... who claimed Warren owed $3,104,207.20 in "domestic support obligations."

Well, according to new docs filed Monday in Florida bankruptcy court, Warren has only repaid $8,236.85 ... less than 1% of the debt.

Meanwhile, Sapp is still living pretty high on the hog ... making $100k bets with rappers and test-driving fancy cars.

We reached out to both Warren and Jamiko for comment -- so far, no word back.

[eDave]

What a dummy. The guy was earning $50k a month.

No kidding. Scottsdale is filled with whores. All he needed to do was be Warren Sapp. Odd.

Nah. No reason two consenting adults shouldn't be able. What is even more crazy, is being a rich man and getting married without a prenup. Now that is crazy.

[DaneMcCloud]

Every year, a former or current NFL player is busted for soliciting sex.

I guess these guys never learn...

Sapp: Hey Pete, I'm about to split open a hooker, you down, G?

[BucEyedPea]

According to Tim Green's book The Dark Side of the NFL more of them have a hard time getting a date. People confuse the superstars with the non-superstars who get women easily. That was news to me. It's a good read, though he's no Faulkner or Hemingway.

go out with a regular girl only to have the accuse you of rape or intentionally try to get pregnant or try to pay for it

But no. Lets set up an operation to catch men trying get some action instead.

When a rich guy has an ex-wife trying to take everything he has, I can see a rent-a-chick as being an attractive and logical option.*



* Insert usual clause about that not including human trafficking.

Sapp still owes his ex-wife $3 million in child support!

He may be going to buttsex prison!

He should have been fired for that, not trying to get a hooker.

My thoughts exactly.

[Demonpenz]

USA is awesome in many ways, but this is not one of them.

[PunkinDrublic]

I wonder if he went through backpages.com. I like looking through the escort pics. I'd be too scared to go through with it because I hear a lot of those ads are undercover cops.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Victimless "crime."

This is completely false. There are thousands and thousands of young girls and women being forced into sex trafficking under the clever disguise of "prostitution" in America, and millions around the world. It's the number two criminal enterprise in the world, behind only drug trafficking.

[srvy]

At 7 AM?

Who doesnt like morning sex?

[srvy]

They said 2 women were beat up in the Hotel he was staying. That sounds so Warren!

[Rain Man]

This is completely false. There are thousands and thousands of young girls and women being forced into sex trafficking under the clever disguise of "prostitution" in America, and millions around the world. It's the number two criminal enterprise in the world, behind only drug trafficking.

If the argument against the war on drugs is to legalize and regulate, does the same thing apply to prostitution? It seems like they're more or less identical situations.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

You'd think police have more pressing maters like oh I dunno, maybe catching murderers or rapist or someone actually commiting a violent crime.

But no. Lets set up an operation to catch men trying get some action instead.

The vast majority of prostitution is pimp-controlled, meaning the women/girls do not actually get the money. Most of the time, if you're having sex with a prostitute, it is rape. Supply and demand. Without the demand for sex, there is no prostitution, no rape, no trafficking, etc. Prostitution, rape, and violent crime go hand in hand. Props to the Phoenix police department for being smart enough to realize this.

[SAUTO]

Sapp still owes his ex-wife $3 million in child support!

He may be going to buttsex prison!

Actually I read that it was spousal support

[Katipan]

In a perfect world we'd have shiny prostitutes on every corner like Starbucks. But no one here knows of any little girl that says when she grows up she wants to be a prostitute.

That's because prostitution has a poor brand image. Right now it's being presented as meth and AIDS and being pimped, which makes for a terrible campaign. Prostitution's ad agency should be pushing an image of making good money for having sex and only working a couple of hours a day. You sell that story and women will be flocking to the profession.

They clearly aren't doing enough market research in that industry.

It's an old story and the one we tell our daughters to explain marriage.

We do not tell them that part of marriage is letting unwashed construction workers take out the aggression they feel for their bratty ass kids and unappreciative woman by jack hammering their assholes.

Good deal.

I'm sorry but you'll have to tell me which troll you are attempting.

Is it anything like unwashed hippie pot smokers? Because I have seen plenty those. I work with and am a construction worker. The ones who I have known get there hands dirty but its the nature of the business. when they go home they clean up pretty good. Cant say the same for pot smoking hippies.

[DaneMcCloud]

go out with a regular girl only to have the accuse you of rape or intentionally try to get pregnant or try to pay for it

I think a possibility, regardless of the woman's occupation

I think that's just improper market segmentation, or at a minimum improper pricing strategy.

If the market says that being jack hammered is unpleasant for the service provider, then she should raise her price or get out of that market segment. If enough women get out of that segment, then the price goes up until the remaining providers are quite happy to get the jack hammering business because they either enjoy it or they're getting paid enough to make it worthwhile. And then the price goes down for freshly showered men who merely want to be loved for a short time, because you have more supply.

I'm telling you, they need to appoint me to run that whole prostitution show for a while. I could whip that market into place pretty quickly.

[DaneMcCloud]

I wonder if he went through backpages.com. I like looking through the escort pics. I'd be too scared to go through with it because I hear a lot of those ads are undercover cops.

Wow. That was deep. I'm quite sure prostitutes would also encounter hippie pot smokers but they are usually far too stoned to do much jack hammering.

Moron.

Post was about the disgusting nature of prostitution. Not the disgusting nature of construction workers.

[Katipan]

So we don't offend srvy, replace construction worker with port o potty drainer.

Unless they are the same thing.

[Katipan]

OOO Or fish monger.

[Katipan]

Serial killer is a good one too.

[BigRedChief]

Now the sheriff is saying there was an assault in Sapps room. An argument overomey that spilt out into the hall.

[Rain Man]

I would expect that serial killers wash quite frequently. Aside from removing blood stains, I've read that washing is a psychological compulsion for many people who commit wrongs.

Now the sheriff is saying there was an assault in Sapps room. An argument overomey that spilt out into the hall.

Maybe he wanted to jack hammer for the price of tootsie popping.

talk about no game...not even a golddigger?

7am has to be one of the sloppiest time slots to solicit a prostitute. I'm thinking noonish is more likely to get you towards the front end of that 24 hour cycle of asshole hammering.

[ChiliConCarnage]

Have to? It's about smanging and walking away with no press. Legalize prostitution. It's a choice between two legally consenting adults.

Yep.

They don't even need to legalize it. I just don't think it should be a jailable offense.

Low misdemeanor. Fine.

[GloryDayz]

Dumbest thing ever. Like pot it's time for this bullshit crime needs to go away!

[stevieray]

Have to? It's about smanging and walking away with no press. Legalize prostitution. It's a choice between two legally consenting adults.

don't care about the legality, talking about the lack of game.

no way 20 children cost that much

[Mr. Laz]

Have to? It's about smanging and walking away with no press. Legalize prostitution. It's a choice between two legally consenting adults.

absolutely

legalize pot - tax the crap out of it, eliminate the drug cartels/gangs

legalize prostitution and get rid of the pimps, safer and the money goes to the girls

legalization would be make both situations better for all concerned


Mexico would be hella better if we stopped buying from the drug lords ruling their country.

So we cant insert we cant insert stale Nam era army coat wearing week old Cheetos stained fingers dirty pot smoking hippie?

I picked a profession where men work for a living so that the example would be even more putrid.

At least most of the men work for a living. Some of the men are such little pussies they complain on a message board over the mere suggestion that one of their masses wouldn't bathe.

I can see how this example far exceeded the capacity of your dwelling tho I applaud you on your ball washing.

No way. I tried. I gave all sorts of examples of other professions and he still wanted to attack.

I confess, it's because I'm an ugly fat girl that has never been hit on by a construction worker.

Now we can all move on.

Warren Sapp, who was arrested multiple times for domestic battery charges finally pulled from NFL Network with his latest arrest for prostitution. It could not happen to a worse loudmouth.

Going back to his old habits?
Cops say two women told police they were at the hotel "as escorts" and went to Sapp's room, where an argument broke out over money.

The women claim the argument turned physical and spilled out into the hallway.

Cops say the women had injuries consistent with a struggle.

PHOENIX – In the early morning hours before NFL Hall of Famer Warren Sapp's arrest on assault and solicitation of prostitution charges, hotel guests at the Phoenix downtown Renaissance awoke to what they believed to be an argument and physical altercation in a hotel hallway, Yahoo Sports has learned.

The Phoenix police department and an employee at the Renaissance declined comment Monday, but a source with details of Sapp's arrest told Yahoo Sports that sometime around 2:30 a.m. MT, guests reported hearing an argument followed by objects banging in either the hallway or another room. When guests opened doors to see the disturbance, at least one reported seeing two women – one lying on the floor with apparent marks associated with a physical altercation, and a second woman who was with her, the source said. The women were shouting and alleged that Sapp had assaulted them and asked for someone to call police, the source said.

Officers arrived shortly after the incident and interviewed the woman who had alleged the assault. Officers then began to look for the second woman, who had left the scene. Both eventually identified themselves to police as escorts who had met Sapp in the hotel. The source said Sapp was interviewed by police, then remained in his room until the second woman could be located. It was after the second woman was found and interviewed that Sapp was taken into custody and subsequently charged with soliciting prostitution and assault around 7 a.m. local time.

Such bad timing Warren...

National Day of Johns Arrests is a bit of a misnomer. Rather than limiting their activities to a 24-hour period, law enforcers set aside the period between January 15 to February 1 to target johns -- clients of prostitutes. A total of 37 agencies reportedly participated nationwide, including the Denver Police Department. The result was scores of arrests and, presumably, a lot of imagined coitus interruptus. Look below to see the number of arrests per state and city, courtesy of 9News, as well as images and a video from a PBS piece on National Day of Johns Arrests.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

If the argument against the war on drugs is to legalize and regulate, does the same thing apply to prostitution? It seems like they're more or less identical situations.

That's a good question, but I think the answer is no. It's legal in Amsterdam and they still have a huge problem with trafficking, violent crime, rape, etc. I think what Phoenix did during the Super Bowl (punishing the buyer, thus decreasing the demand, thus decreasing the supply) is actually ideal. That's what they did in Sweden, and they have virtually eliminated prostitution and human sex trafficking from their country.

Hundreds Of Johns Arrested In Sex-Trafficking Sting That Culminated On Super Bowl Sunday

As the New England Patriots were celebrating their thrilling Super Bowl XLIX win Sunday night, law enforcement around the nation were observing a more somber victory.

At least 570 would-be sex buyers (or johns) and 23 so-called sex traffickers -- men taken into custody on charges of pimping, trafficking or promoting prostitution -- were taken off the streets in the "National Day Of Johns Arrests" effort, Illinois' Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart announced Monday.

The nationwide sex-trafficking sting operation, led by the Cook County Sheriff's Department, ran from Jan. 15 to Feb. 1.

“Sex trafficking continues to destroy countless lives, and this broad national movement should send a strong message to prospective johns that their ‘hobby’ is much more than a ‘victimless’ crime,” Dart said in a statement. “It‟s particularly meaningful that this sting culminated on the day of the Super Bowl, which unfortunately has emerged as a prominent haven for sex trafficking."

Experts like Bradley Myles, CEO of the anti-trafficking organization Polaris Project, have noted "there isn't much evidence linking the Super Bowl to a major rise in trafficking," while others point out that sex trafficking is a problem that persists not only during the Super Bowl, but year-round in communities of all sizes.

"We're trying to raise awareness best we can," Cook County Sheriff spokesman Ben Breit told The Huffington Post, explaining that the timing of the sting is largely symbolic. "Tying it to the Super Bowl is a helpful way to accomplish that."

Dart's office started the first such operation in 2011. The 2015 installment is the largest yet, comprising roughly 70 jurisdictions in 17 states, including Nevada, Arizona and Massachusetts.

On Monday, the Cook County Sheriff's office said 54 women and 14 juveniles nationwide were "rescued" (taken into custody but connected with mental health, drug abuse, domestic abuse and other services).

Other highlights of the operation included Phoenix police recovering several women who said they had been trafficked in for the Super Bowl. Cincinnati police also arrested a pair of sex traffickers who had been using public computers at a local library to post prostitution ads online, according to a release. Las Vegas Police, meanwhile, took a man into custody who was facing federal human trafficking charges in Ohio; they also arrested a john on probation for rape.

The majority of the busts were made through "dates" arranged on the classified ad site, Backpage.com (and to a lesser extent, Craigslist). Dart said Backpage.com has for years been known as the leading online marketplace for prostitution, bringing in millions of dollars a month. Backpage's exact revenue is unknown, but in 2013, classifieds analyst company AIM Group estimated Backpage's take was $4.2 million in a single month.

Backpage.com general counsel Liz McDougall told The Huffington Post via email:

We stand firm in our belief that a domestic website that combats child sex trafficking domestically in collaboration with law enforcement is far more beneficial to victims than driving the problem to underground and offshore sites. And we remain committed to effective measures of prevention and successful prosecution of this heinous crime.
Dart acknowledges his anti-trafficking and prostitution efforts have their critics -- primarily people who think law enforcement are merely criminalizing a transaction that should have long ago been legalized. But whether the crime is called sex trafficking, pimping or prostitution, Dart says he sees "no distinction."

"That's always been a tough one for me," Dart told The Huffington Post. "How is it any different when a man who gives a woman food or shelter, or coerces her with drugs or abuse, than when someone is brought in from outside the country.'"

And while Dart concedes there are some women who engage in sex work of their own choosing and without the involvement of a pimp, he says such instances are rare -- and still unsafe.

He says the next step is to continue expanding the operation to include more law enforcement agencies in more states.

"Its all about building awareness, about staying on the problem," Dart said. "There's no silver bullet for this."

yes, but much of that wouldn't occurs IF it was legal and regulated.

So all of the arguments about "legalizing it will eliminate business for the criminals" weren't accurate? Shocker. I was sure that those folks would stop drug trafficking and settle down to a 9 to 5 job.

I'm sure there were some ants crushed but the shops do more to encourage the black market industry.

The shops make it very nice and friendly and fun. Bright colors, polo shirts, IPADS, you eat this brownie, or drink this soda and you giggled and laughed like you hadn't in years. The fact that you just paid almost 30% in taxes happened so recently that you've conveniently pushed it out of your short term pot memory.

Until the next time you're like, hey I want a brownie. And you're sober. And you're like wow, I'm going to go drive across town and pay 30% in taxes?

Or your buddy knows a guy that has a friend who's cousin runs an ad listed on craigslist and he'll be over in 15 minutes.

Shops get you hooked. Black market keeps food on your table.

None of this is applicable to me. I will happily show my receipts. Part of us coming here was helping to make it work.

[DaneMcCloud]

It's just like "marijuana". If it's government regulated, most of the associated crime will disappear.

But it's difficult to imagine legal prostitution in my lifetime due to a large segment of the population's spiritual beliefs.

Interesting. So your take is that the legal shops will merely introduce more people to it, but the illegal trade will still get most of the business and money?

I haven't followed this at all other than to rake in a little money on market research for it. Legal marijuana isn't a boon in my business, but it's bought me a few new pairs of shoes. Yes, I earn drug money now.

As soon as summer break starts, I will be too.

I don't know about most of the business and money. Especially when we're the only state successfully doing it right now.

But level playing field. All the states have legal weed, all the states charge 30% taxes. Black market would flourish... Until the states got together and crushed them under the weight of their might but it would take a good 10 years and billions of dollars before they signed the correct documents.

I didn't believe i'd see legal pot in my lifetime either.

[Katipan]

I also don't mean to imply that the Black Market is seedy meeting in alleys anymore. Although I did my share of those in my 15 years.

I know an old guy whose wife just died. Lives on very little social security. Supplements by taking $70 ounces, breaking them into $20 1/8ths and he gets to eat all month long.

Doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't do a whole lot besides watch TV and eat. But he gets to eat.

[keg in kc]

Legalized prostitution would be great. I might actually get laid again before I die.

Personally I think all vices should be legalized and taxed.

[DeepPurple]

I haven't read through all these pages, does anyone know how much the NFL Network was paying Sapp?



It was $45,000 per month.

As a football player, Sapp made $82 million dollars, yet in 2012 when he filed bankruptcy he had $800 dollars in his checking. His custom built 15,000 SF Tampa home that he paid $4.1 million, was sold at auction for $2.1 million.

Almost every bit of your argument is predicated on and rooted in prostitution being illegal. From lack of medical oversight to pimps, all of it created because somebody thinks it's immoral.

And even if it became legal, you'd still have it being organized by people who create the union. So like a mall that gives a store an opportunity to setup shop, are they are a store-pimp because they take a cut? One is very illegal and one is very legal, but to say it's not the same thing is a stretch. I wonder how many women at the bunny ranch were dragged in by their hair? I wonder how many curl-up in the corner shooting heroin? None. I think some may regret their choice later, but prostitution and porn aren't the only careers that leave a person wishing they had made other choices in life. Will there always be some violators? Yup.. Just like in this day and age of Ticketmaster you have scalpers selling tickets right outside the venue!

IMO all you can hope for relative to this oldest of trades is to control any violence and disease that can come from it. But given the carnal nature of human beings you aren't going to stop it, that's for sure. Look no further than prohibition to discover what will happen when you tell people they can't take a drink - the same goes for getting laid. It's not far off and you know it.

But know this, most of those tragic stories that you just referenced were enabled by there being a demand and it being illegal.

You make some good arguments, but I would counter with two thoughts:

A) It's legal in Amsterdam, and there is still a huge problem with pimps and trafficking there.
B) The bunny ranch is obviously a microscopically small percentage of the women involved in the sex industry. But still, how do you know if any of them were forced into it and/or addicted to drugs? I don't think it's safe to assume that they are not.

Valid points to say the least. I just think it's time to quit thinking you can legislate it away, or make it go away with moral indignation.

While we can all wonder why Sapp can't get laid otherwise, tomorrow we'll be in awe of another gold digger who was nothing and dumps her spouse. Or better yet we'll wonder why Kobe had to rape a woman when he could have a boatload of hot chicks willingly.

And not every guy is Kobe, an NFL player, Clark Hunt, or David, so to think there's not demand for it is just crazy.

So morality aside, knowing we're human means men are going to get Willy wet, and it's not for procreation or love, but just for fun, the world needs to wake up and plan for it.
