Talking Ethics expert: is it right to use someone else’s credit card to pay for sex?

A Prominent French magistrate could face disciplinary action after he allegedly stole a German colleague’s credit card to pay for a prostitute, having earlier delivered an hour-long speech on ethics.

Pierre Hontang, the state prosecutor in Bayonne, southwest France, will be suspended by the French Justice Ministry after suggestions of improper conduct during a conference in Germany this year. M Hontang has declined to comment on the allegations.

A French investigating magistrate is undertaking a criminal inquiry into the incidents at the Fifth Conference of European General Prosecutors at Celle in Lower Saxony.

M Hontang, one of France’s most eminent jurists, attended the conference in May as a keynote speaker in a debate on Fundamental Principles of Ethics for Prosecutors.

With the Chief Prosecutor of the Spanish Supreme Court, Antonio Vercher Noguera, sitting alongside him, M Hontang, 47, spoke for more than an hour, according to participants.

However, a report by French and German investigators, which was sent to the Justice Ministry in Paris last week, accuses the prosecutor of slipping out of the four-day conference on at least two occasions.

Yesterday a Justice Ministry official said M Hontang had gone to “a place of pleasure where ladies hire out their services for between €100 and €300 depending on what they are offering”.

The first time he paid with his own money, according to the report.

The second time he is alleged to have paid with a credit card that he had stolen from a German prosecutor at the conference. “He is being investigated for stealing the means to pay for activities that are a little shameful for a magistrate of this standing,” said a detective.

“Can you believe it?” a jurist who attended the conference told Le Parisien newspaper. “He had been speaking on ethics for an hour.”

M Hontang is reputed to be a specialist on the subject.

At a previous conference he said: “The main principles of the code (of ethics) will not only concern professional behaviour, because behaviour in private life has an impact on the image of the prosecution service and on the capacity of some of its members to remain part of it.”

Justice Ministry officials said that Dominique Perben, the Justice Minister, had decided to suspend M Hontang during the criminal inquiry.

The affair came to light after M Hontang complained to the owner of the brothel in Celle about the quality of its work.

The owner noticed that he had not paid with his own credit card and alerted German police officers, who launched an inquiry.

Man, the Frech just don't get a break on this forum. Tell me, did the Frenchman have any problem surrendering the credit card? Was he eager to give himself up? Did he run up charges and hide the fact he did it?

Read it a gain, Bone-Man. He didn't pay for it.

The French guy stole the card from a German, so the Frenchie F**ked the prostitute and a German at the same time. There is some sort of cosmic justice in that.

What I meant was he paid for it.....with his own money or with someone elses its still the same. Of course the German got screwed, the frenchman got screwed and the whore laughed all the way to the bank...

Hell I never had trouble getting women.......if I wasn't happily married right now I still could.

Too bad the Democrats didn't have him on top of the ticket, there's a man worth voting for. He puts Bill Clinton to shame.

You don't know what he paid for if you weren't there. The French have a reputation, and with a German's credit card he might have been doing something you HAVE to pay for. I like Bot's perspective, which would only be better if the German's story had come out without knowing which Frenchman did him. A Frenchy screwing a German and getting away with it is real justice.
