Gabriel Omogbo of Hyattsville, Maryland (pictured below) is a preacher... allegedly.
But Gabriel shares little in common with his archangel namesake, having been accused of beating, robbing and raping escorts in hotels across Washington DC and having been charged with attempted first degree murder, armed robbery, first degree assault and reckless endangerment, thus earning him the coveted...
Police pieced together three (3) separate attacks and believe that the alleged preacher used the website Backpage.com to find female escorts and arrange to meet up with them.
The first two attacks happened at the Best Western Plus Hotel in Rockville, Maryland and on both occasions Omogbo is accused of raping and stealing from women that he had met online. The third attack took place at the Radison Hotel, also in Rockville, where he is accused of threatening a woman with a knife. In that case Omogbo is accused of ordering the woman to take off her clothes before reportedly telling her "You are going to die today". Omogbo then beat her, cut her arms, legs and hands, stole her iPad, cell phone and $300.00 in cash.

Omogbo was arrested after police traced CCTV footage from the hotels (which reportedly showed a man matching Omogbo's description wearing blue jeans and brown loafers entering and leaving the hotels at the time of the attacks) as well as collecting DNA evidence from each of the rooms. Omogbo is now being held at Montgomery County Correction Facility on a no bond status and faces life in prison.
Memo to the Folks: I think that the prurient continued criminalization of prostitution is both outdated and ridiculous. It makes no sense whatsoever that folks cannot "buy and sell" sex when in fact that is precisely what people do all day everyday every where. "Dating" is legal prostitution, without a guarantee of a happy ending. Heck, for that matter so is any relationship, including marriage. And this truism is gender non-specific, applying equally to both men and women, each of whom "use" ("perhaps "wield" even) their bodies for "gain". Prostitution simply eliminates any and all pretense. It is an honest transaction, and where it is not, regulation would provide a means for lawful recompensation. Just like with marijuana, prostitution can and should be decriminalized, regulated and taxed (exactly like any other service industry). Periodic medical clearance and licensing would all but guarantee smooth (no pun intended) transactions and happy endings.... for all parties concerned.
