The community organizing group ACORN has fired two employees at its Baltimore office who were seen on hidden-camera video giving advice to a man posing as a pimp and a woman pretending to be a prostitute, as some legal experts raise questions over whether the employees broke the law.

The staffers appeared to commit federal tax fraud by offering to help them — for a fee — to establish a child brothel, legal experts say.

In a video made public Thursday, two visitors to an ACORN office in Baltimore told staffers they needed assistance securing housing where the woman, a 20-year-old who called herself "Kenya," could continue to run her prostitution business.

An ACORN official told the couple how to falsify tax forms and seek illegal benefits for 13 "very young" girls from El Salvador that they said they wanted to import as prostitutes.

Though no tax forms were filed and the child prostitutes didn't exist, the ACORN official engaged in "numerous acts of criminal facilitation," said Judge Andrew Napolitano, FOX News senior judicial analyst.

"Criminal facilitation occurs whenever a person encourages, enables, entices, or explains to another how to commit crimes with the real purpose of helping that person to commit those crimes" — a violation the ACORN employee "committed in full," he said.

Napolitano said the worker could also face charges for criminal conspiracy, though each charge would require a heavier burden to prove: a so-called "act of furtherance" — a concrete move that makes the conspiracy active.

Napolitano outlined eight crimes the ACORN worker could potentially have committed that could bring a total sentence of 24 years in prison, including criminal facilitation and conspiracy to:

• (a) commit prostitution

• (b) operate a prostitution ring

• (c) file false documents with taxing and other government authorities

I would have been surprised if this did not happen to them.

BFD So a couple of idiots get canned.

Only two sacrificed so, the others can be more careful about how they give Illegal advice.
Get their names and see if they are really fired or just reassigned.

As crooked as ACORN is re-assigning them sounds about right! Now these two wastes of sperm will be teaching the others how not to get caught.

Actually Acorn when it was etablished way back when was agreat organization. They have been corrupt for many years, I believe since they got away with some many Violations and law breaking during the campaigning and elections they thought they were untouchable.

I hope this give a heads up to a few other corrupt organizations.

What blows me way is it took so long for the whistle to be blown how much more corruption is really there. Will we ever find out probably not.. Somehow that seems the norm for this administration IMO.
