ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A 34-year-old Columbia Heights man is charged with promoting the prostitution of a 17-year-old girl — after a hotel manager found information about the man’s escort service online. Samuel Cozart was charged Thursday in Ramsey County. According to the complaint, Cozart approached a man in the Days Inn Hotel in Roseville on Tuesday and asked where he could get fake identification for a girl staying with him. The man happened to be the boyfriend of a hotel employee. So he told the hotel manager, who went online to investigate. The complaint says the manager found information about an escort service it seemed Cozart was running, and went to police. Cozart’s attorney was in court Thursday and did not return a phone message seeking comment.

Cozart, who referred to himself online as “Rico,” opened the room’s door to officers while the girl “was still putting a shirt on over her bra,” the complaint said. He denied being involved in prostitution, as did the girl. The girl also gave a bogus birthdate that would have made her an adult.
…
While checking the girl’s warrant status, “her two phones rang multiple times,” and among the dozens of recent text messages were “terms that tended to be associated with prostitution,” the complaint said.
…
He said he would not prosecute the girl. That decision is in accordance with his pledge, announced last February, to treat teenage prostitutes not as delinquents but as victims in need of services. The other county attorneys in the Twin Cities area also took part in that pledge.

Joshua Fletcher, 34, of Valrico, Fla., faced two gross-misdemeanor counts of interference with privacy, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Wednesday.
A complaint that he was in Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Monday, holding what appeared to be a book with a hole in it, and with a camera or camera-equipped cellphone behind the hole, led to the charges, police said.
The charges indicate airport police found photographs in Fletcher’s cellphone of men urinating in public restrooms. A camera and an address book with a hole in it were found in a nearby trash container, investigators said.
U.S. Sen. Larry Craig’s 2007 arrest for allegedly soliciting sex from an undercover police officer occurred in the same public restroom, police said. Craig, who was a senator from Idaho, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
