Some prostitutes still work the old-school way. D.C. police have noticed.

A man from a Chicago suburb invited a woman he met on K Street, who called herself “Kay D,” to his downtown Washington hotel room and agreed to pay $100 for sex. Another man, from Leesburg, offered a woman $100, telling her he wanted the “pleasure of your company.”
