In a story that sounds a bit like old Hollywood film noir: A Los Angeles private detective faces accusations of using showgirls to lure divorcing men into drunk driving charges. Allegedly at the behest of a divorcing wife, Christopher Butler set up a “sting” operation wherein he hired a former Las Vegas dancer to connect with the husband on a dating website. After that the showgirl just had to get the husband to meet her, take a few shots of tequila, and convince him to get behind the wheel. The cops took it from there.
Butler, a former police detective, is also facing federal indictment for selling drugs and operating a brothel – both in conjunction with California police agencies doing undercover work.
The Wright Firm would never use illegal means to trap an opposing party. However, there ARE legal ways of using private investigators in a divorce case. Word to the wise – if you are going through a divorce, behave yourself as if you are being watched. You never know when it might be happening!
