PORTSMOUTH ? A city resident charged with hiring a prostitute in Maine was caught because he called police to complain that the woman ?shorted him 10 minutes,? :huh: said Old Orchard Beach Police Sgt. Gerard Hamilton.

Charged with a count of ?engaging a prostitute? is Scott Pipher, 34, with a last known address of 358 Court St.

Old Orchard Beach Police announced Pipher's arrest on Monday, but Hamilton said the case began in the spring. The sergeant said Pipher called police on March 25 and complained that the woman he hired did ?not give him his money's worth? by cutting their time together by ten minutes.

Hamilton said Old Orchard Beach detectives launched an investigation, which led to the arrests of two alleged prostitutes, also announced Monday. He said Pipher contacted the alleged prostitutes through a Web site.

Pipher's last known address is a historic home at Strawbery Banke Museum, but someone from the nonprofit organization called Old Orchard Police to report he no longer lives there, said Hamilton. Pipher did not return a message seeking his comment and police in Maine and Portsmouth reported having no other address for him.

He's scheduled to be arraigned in the Biddeford Maine District Court on Dec. 12.

Pipher is named on the Web sites National Blacklist and Bad Boy Client List as someone who has prompted complaints from so-called escorts. The sites serve as databases for escorts to share information about clients.

On one Web site, Pipher is described as being ?notorious for booking out-calls and then not answering his door or phone.? According to a Portsmouth police report, 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 said the man who ordered the dance refused to answer his door when she arrived.

The dancer claimed it was a theft of her services, but police Capt. Mike Schwartz countered 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, became ?freaked out? by the man who hired her and fled in such a hurry she left some of her clothing behind.

Deputy Police Chief Corey MacDonald said police investigators had difficulty with witnesses in both of those instances and there was no related arrest.

    • Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge by Usama Jawad In June 2025, Microsoft began rolling out AI-powered history search functionality with Edge 138. The idea was simple: allow customers to use natural language phrases and synonyms to find their desired history items rather than matching keywords exactly. Although the company had already rolled out this capability in a phased manner, it has now decided to cancel it. In an update on its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has announced that it has decided not to move forward with AI-powered history search. The company has not detailed the exact reasoning behind this move, but it has apologized to customers for the inconvenience. The move is rather interesting as it seemingly could have improved user productivity. Edge users wouldn't have to worry about typos or exact keywords, and just focus on what they were trying to locate in their browser history. Microsoft had also assured users that an on-device AI model would be leveraged for this functionality, and no data would be sent to the cloud. IT admins also had the ability to control its availability through the EdgeHistoryAISearchEnabled policy. When the feature began rolling out last year, many of our readers called it creepy, noting that they couldn't trust Microsoft to keep their data on their device. Others also questioned its usefulness, saying that it's simply a way for Microsoft to insert more AI bloat into its products. Although the Redmond tech giant had stated that it will be more mindful about surfacing Copilot features in Windows 11 apps, we later discussed how this is mostly a rebranding exercise rather than an actual axing of AI functionalities. Indeed, a Microsoft executive later emphasized how they want to reshape Windows for the agentic AI era. That said, it does seem like at least AI-powered Edge history search isn't a part of that vision.
    • For you to jump on and defend your sweetheart? I agree, it didn't.
    • Not likely, of course, that we will see routine citizenship checks as they only involve compliance with existing federal voting laws already on the books for decades. This seems a non-issue entirely. Only fools would have the government rush headlong into an AI program few can understand or predict, or even debug...
