Man arrested after complaining to cops that prostitute 'shorted him 10 minutes'

A man in Maine was arrested and charged with hiring a prostitute after he called police to complain the woman “shorted him 10 minutes,” according to a police report.

Old Orchard Beach, Maine police arrested Scott Pipher, 34, on Monday, but they began their original investigation on March 25 after Pipher called to complain that the woman he hired did “not give him his money’s worth” by cutting their time together short by 10 minutes, the Portsmouth, N.H., Herald reported.

Police said their investigation also led to the arrests of two women believed to be prostitutes contacted by Pipher, a resident of Portsmouth, through a website, the Associated Press reported.

Pipher, who is scheduled to be arraigned in the Biddeford, Maine, District Court on Dec. 12, has a history of complaining about services rendered from women, according to the Herald.

He is listed on both the National Blacklist and Bad Boy Client List, websites where escorts and escort agencies can share information about clients to help others avoid booking dates with dangerous clients, as someone who has prompted complaints from escorts in the past, the Herald reported.

On one of the websites he’s described as being “notorious for booking-out calls and then not answering his door or phone.” 

Pipher has refused to comment to media.

According to Old Orchard Beach police, an officer was dispatched to Pipher’s former residence on Sept. 30 when a woman complained that she was booked to perform a private dance, but the man who ordered the dance refused to answer the door when she arrived.

The dancer claimed it was a theft of her services, but police said it wasn’t a theft because she never danced.

A week later, police said they were called by a woman, who said she was hired as an exotic dancer to go to the same address, after she became “freaked out” by the man who hired her and fled in such a hurry she left some of her clothing behind.

There was no arrest following those incidents because investigators had difficulty with the witnesses, police said.

Haha, what a dumbass. I'm glad he got shorted. I'm waiting for the retaliation call or complaint, "But he didn't pay me in full." Just throw throw them in a cell together, make her finish the job, him pay her what's owed, fine them and set them free. Funny how this wouldn't be illegal if they were filming it for "porn". She's not a prostitute if she's an actress. Remember that fellas.

    Hookers have a blacklist? I guess it's like a no fly or problem patient. So it's understandable. It's good to see Hookers have a business model and policy and procedure too.

    It degrades women...or at least, it degrades their leverage over husbands, etc. If they could pay for it and not get caught by the law, honey-do-lists would be sitting around uncompleted everywhere.

    I understand that men generally don't get as much sex as they want when married, but my, oh my, to pay for sex! Holy cow is there no one that married men know that'll doink 'em for free? Gotta think about the finances, and it's too easy to get caught paying for it.

      #7.4 - Thu Dec 6, 2012 3:44 PM EST

      annon -

      As the old saying (I think it was Lewis Black, but possibly another comedian) goes:

      "You don't pay a prostitute for sex. You can get sex just about anywhere. What you're paying the prostitute for is to leave afterwards."

          It is quit obvious he was too "short" himself, and since she didnt have "enough" to "work with" she left early, not her fault.
