A Las Vegas man has been arrested in association with several violent rapes of local prostitutes, and authorities are seeking help in locating other possible victims. Police say 29-year-old Denver Baoec-Ascuncion was arrested earlier this month after multiple women came forward recounting recent incidents of kidnapping and sexual assault. 8 News Now reports that the 28-year-old Las Vegas man faces multiple counts , and there may be other victims. Two separate prostitutes between December 20th and January 7th reportedly told police that Ascuncion picked them up and forced them into sexual acts. Both alleged victims claimed that the Las Vegas man used a firearm to threaten them. Non-virtual sex work (i.e., physical prostitution) is a dangerous line of work, especially in large cities like Las Vegas -- where rates of non-virtual sex work have increased by 50% in recent years. Prostitutes -- especially street walkers -- are often victims of violent crime and robberies. It's fortunat...
Is it legal to masturbate at work? While this might not seem like a question that pops up often, it’s actually widely asked. However, the answer to this question greatly depends on a number of circumstances. Masturbation is a natural part of human existence, and is a totally healthy thing to do, but what happens if you feel the need to rub one out during a work shift? Could you get fired? Worst yet: Could you be charged with a crime?
Private vs Public Property
Public indecency is illegal in public spaces in every state, but does your place of employment count as a public space? Furthermore, isn’t the privacy of a bathroom designed to keep private things private? This archived discussion poses a series of good points regarding the legal language surrounding public indecency in private and public spaces. In particular, the legal language surrounding public exposure and indecency laws leaves a lot of room for interpretation when it comes to finding out if it is legal to masturbate — or have quiet sex — in the workplace.
Legal Precedent
Whether the answer about the legality of masturbation at work is clean-cut or not, there are still examples of legal precedent surrounding this topic that might offer insight. In 2011, a woman in Brazil sued and won the legal right to masturbate at work after she was diagnosed with “hypersexuality” — a condition which supposedly led her to masturbating more than 40 times per day. The 36-year-old woman won the right to not only masturbate at work in this wild case, but she was also granted the right to watch porn on her work computer.
Conclusion?
Could you get away with masturbating at work? Probably. If you’re quiet enough and do so in a way that guarantees that a coworker or other unsuspecting person doesn’t catch you, then there is likely no crime being committed. However, if you are caught by another person — or if you behave in any way that a coworker or other person can hear you — then you run the risk of being fired or facing criminal charges. You could also be sued. In fact there are far more verifiable incidents of coworkers, employers and employees being sued for indecency and sexual harassment, than there are of people trying to pursue the right to masturbate at work. Take that information for what it’s worth.
