Manhattan Adult Entertainment: D’Angelo Apprehended for Trying to Pick Up Prostitute
D’Angelo Apprehended for Trying to Pick Up Prostitute
A supposed lady’s man like D’Angelo seems to be just as hard up for love like the rest of us. The R&B star was booked on charges of trying to solicit sex from a prostitute Saturday night.
According to the NYPD, D’Angelo (real name Michael Archer) was driving through Greenwich Village when he spotted a woman and offered her $40 for sex. The woman turned out to be an undercover police officer, and D’Angelo was booked on a count of patronizing a prostitute in the third degree. He was released and is maintaining his innocence and has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
“We know there is a lot of speculation in regard to the arrest this past weekend,” Lindsay Guion, D’Angelo’s manager, said in a statement. “D’Angelo would like to personally thank all of his fans for the outpouring of concern, and appreciates if all would allow the American justice system to resolve the matter before jumping to any conclusions.”
