A man in the UK who arranged a rendezvous with a prostitute but backed out after she failed to meet his expectations phoned police to complain she had misrepresented herself and breached the Sale of Goods Act
The man, who has not been identified, phoned West Midlands Police about 7.30pm on Tuesday to report the sex worker had "got her knickers in a twist" after he declined to use her services because she was ugly, the Express & Star reports.
Police spokesman Lee Page said the man complained the woman had "made herself out to be better than she was".
"When he took issue with this she took his car keys, ran out of the car and then threw them back at him."
At that point the man phoned the police but not long into the call he told the operator that the woman was "calming down".
In a second call to police, which has not been released, the man said he wanted to report the woman for violating the Sale of Goods Act.
Sergeant Jerome Moran who took the second call described it as "unbelievable".
"He genuinely believed he had done nothing wrong and that the woman should have been investigated by police for misrepresentation," he said.
"I told him that she'd not committed any offences and that it was his actions, in soliciting for sex, that were in fact illegal."
The man was given a warning this time but Sergeant Moran said wasting police time was a serious offence that carried a maximum sentence of six months jail.
