Suspect Charged with Solicitation of Prostitution from Massage Therapist; Possibility of Additional Victims
Posted on August 21, 2019 by Rebecca Innocenti
Detectives from the Special Investigations Division – Vice and Intelligence Unit have charged Seth Hurwitz, age 60, of the 6100 block of Lenox Road in Bethesda, with solicitation of prostitution from a licensed massage therapist at her place of business.  Based on statements Hurwitz made to the victim during this investigation, detectives are concerned that there are additional victims.

On August 16, the victim, a licensed massage and physical therapist, came forward to report the solicitation to police.

Detectives learned that on August 15, at approximately 12:30 p.m., Hurwitz called the massage business and spoke to the victim to make an appointment for a massage at 3:00 pm that day.

During the massage session, Hurwitz made sexual comments and inappropriate sexual motions.  He implied to the victim that her tip would be greater if she performed sexual acts.  The victim also noted that Hurwitz had left a roll of cash laying on the floor in plain view in the massage room.  Twice during the interaction, Hurwitz asked the victim if she would consider coming to his home and providing a massage.  The victim declined.  The victim ended the massage early due to Hurwitz’ increasing inappropriate sexual behavior.

Later that day, Hurwitz texted the victim’s business phone.  He texted and called her the next day (August 16), asking if she would come to his home.  In a text conversation and a phone call between the victim and Hurwitz, during which Vice and Intelligence Unit detectives were present with the victim, Hurwitz agreed to pay cash in exchange for the victim performing sexual favors.  In a follow-up text conversation, Hurwitz said that he would come to the business on August 21.

Today, August 21, detectives arrested Hurwitz as he arrived at the massage business.  He was transported to the Central Processing Unit and charged with solicitation for prostitution.  He was released on a $5,000 bond.

Due to statements Hurwitz made during conversations with the victim about having similar arrangements with other women, investigators believe that there may be additional victims.  Anyone who believes that she is a victim is asked to call detectives at 240-773-5958.

Note: The Department is not releasing the name of the massage business so that the victim’s identity remains confidential.

Channel 7 ABC posted it to the DC reddit page so presumably they will run something on it. I'm sure there's some whose job it is at every news source to read all these daily releases from law enforcement looking for stories so I disagree TM-UL's actions alone brought this to light.

Yes, I think if you wanted to list things that greatly endanger an open forum where people can quickly register and then sound off on IMP/930 related topics, this sort of story is exactly that. I would be very surprised if "ends" IMP -- him selling his share of it would be the worst case scenario.

Dude firstly this is obviously fake news!! All that know Seth know he is a full time comedian....the jokes aren’t always funny and sometimes they go over like a lead balloon as seems to be the case here....

totally, it's in the sex offenders law in MD

I think a separate case will be filed in DC, where the law is that his assets get shared equally with all Individuals in DC who are residents on the date of the crime

Post by: challenged on August 21, 2019, 09:14:50 pm
This upsets me more than it should.

Everyone has their flaws, but in this climate, I would think that there will need to be a change in leadership, maybe give day-to-day control to Sam w/Rich, andat the same time bestow more prominent roles on Audrey/Melanie so that the organization is more female-fronted to weather the storm. Artists/management are going to want to know that this has been resolved satisfactorily.

Also, if it sounds at all like I know what I am talking about, it shouldn't. I am just another internet reply-guy who happens to know some names.

that's what local journalism has become: getting someone else's info and barely repackaging it.  they have like 2 or 3 reporters covering the entire DC/MD/VA area... ain't got time for original reporting.  grab the press release, re-word it from passive to active voice, and boom - on to the next story.

Just how reliable are the victim's statements if she claimed she did not know who Seth was until he Googled himself and showed her? In what world is it possible that someone does not know the managing partner of IMP? I suppose next you're going to tell me a Surprise! At The Club with Neil Young & Crazy Horse is unlikely -- as though Neil Young wouldn't be honored to play there? Doesn't add up. Doesn't add up at all, my friends.

She supposedly did shut him down, repeatedly, when he came in for the initial massage -- but he kept at it. Plenty of chances for him to back off and think better of it, so I don't see an entrapment angle here.

"The victim, with instruction from police, responded to Hurwitz, asking for details of what he wanted her to do and for how much"

isn't this kind of fucked up?

like what if she just said "no"
I'm not sure the tone of your question. If you're asking is it kind of fucked up like "is this entrapment," then nah, son, it's collecting evidence.

If she refused to do this, it's probably not able to be pursued because its her word vs presumably his and the cops/DA cannot come close to the burden of proof needed to bring this to trial with any realistic shot of it succeeding. Is that kind of fucked up? Yeah, but them's the breaks when we operate in a system that holds out "innocent beyond a reasonable doubt" as a gold standard.

WTOP also obtained a note Hurwitz sent to his employees, apologizing for “any embarrassment and stress” the incident caused. “We are working to resolve this … I only ask that you don’t pass judgment until that day. But, until then, this is not a matter that concerns our business and please soldier on as usual,” the note reads.

I read that as WJLA pointing out the hypocrisy of having that sign in one's yard and subjecting a female professional to unwanted advances.
Now that makes more sense...

That's what drunktang was saying.

Well he wasn't referencing the Minivan or the sign on the lawn. I think his point was that lots of liberal men champion women's rights but then are total douches in the way they actually personally treat women. Which is certainly true.

Imagine feeling so strongly about a music venue that you turn on this level of cognitive dissonance towards super-credible allegations of sexually harassment and solicitation against its owner. How little must one have in their life for this to be a hill they want to die on?

I'm ride or die for a guy who charges me $16 for a double rail vodka and soda!

^^ It has just come to my attention from the esteemed Mr. The Director that I have missed notme's witty throwback to Marion Barry. I retract my previous hilariously scathing commentary but reserve the right to use it again later if someone else (*cough*HTCH*cough*) goes down the fanboy path.

Not that it matters but here's what I think will happen, prefaced with I Am Not A Lawyer (not doing the acronym right now...)

Probation, fine, community service, and a class about why you should never do that again. Maybe a few weekends in the pokey. Best case: probation before judgement. No sanctions on his business empire.

Not gonna speculate here on the effect on his private/family life, other than to say that the women's rights sign may have already been there and put up by his wife.

Does this result in canceled shows because artists don't want to be associated?
this is what I fear is going to happen

vs.
 
“This is really going to put a blemish on the squeaky clean image of night club owners everywhere!”

like it or not, this will all blow (!) over.

Drunktang chiming in - this is exactly the point I was trying to make.  I did have a bottle of merlot last night so sorry if I was not clear.

Hey Seth, sell that house.  Retire.  Move to the west coast.  Start over.  No one will care. 

can confirm that this plan works.

Sign on the window says "lonely, "
Sign on the door said "no company allowed, "
Sign on the street says "why' don't own me"
Sign on the porch says "three's a crowd"
Sign on the porch says three's a crowd"

Her and her boyfriend went to California
Her and her boyfriend done changed their tune
My best friend said, "now didn' I warn ya
Brighton girls are like the moon,
Brighton girls are like the moon"

Looks like a-nothing but rain
Sure gonna be wet tonight on Main Street
Hope that it don't sleet
Build me a cabin in Utah
Marry me a wife, catch rainbow trout
Have a bunch of kids who call me "pa"
That must be what it's all about,
That must be what it's all about

Just got an email shared with me from Seth to IMP staff announcing he will be stepping aside “for the time being”. Donna Westmoreland, the COO, will take over day-to-day operations.

Ugh....that is not what the email says...

Donna has been running day to day operations for years and will continue to do so
