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.

    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.

    • And he paid Joe Rogan $30M for podcasts. Terrible company.
