How bad do you need it? Gas for sex deal goes awry in Kentucky

Angela Eversole thought she had it all figured out: she needed gas, and was alledgedly willing to give up a little sex to get it. Unfortunately for her, the deal she was setting up for "a $100 gasoline card and other gifts" was being watched by the police there in Fort Wright, Kentucky. She was arrested and charged with prostitution and, get this, for "doing business without an occupational license," according to the AP. She's pleaded not guilty. USAToday has more.
We knew that a green car could make a man a bit more popular with the ladies, but this is something else entirely. Who knew hybrids could promote moral behavior?

Oh dear! A little sad, a little funny and a little pathetic. But i suppose it is a sign of the times: "will 'work' for gas"

I'm a little surprised that any of those laws apply. It sounds like this was a barter transaction, which to my understanding would make it fall outside the jurisdiction of any regulations for business operation (or prostitution).

"and, get this, for "doing business without an occupational license,""
As far as I'm concerned, that's the only crime she's guilty of here.

Is she not being paid for sex? She is paid in gas, but she is still getting paid. That makes it prostitution.
