Coy C. Privette was a retired Baptist minister, a former North Carolina state legislator, and a Cabarrus County Commissioner when he was charged with aiding and abetting prostitution. He was also the president of the Christian Action League. He resigned from the League immediately to protect them from his scandal.
This project does not track consensual adult activities, including patronizing sex workers. He is included because he stopped payment on the checks claiming they were stolen. If you renege on a contract with a sex worker, it’s not really consensual, is it?
He denied the allegations but the police had video of him booking the room and taking the woman there. He pled guilty.
