WEST PAL BEACH, Fla. (WTXL) — A Florida man has been arrested after he called 911 to report that he had paid for sex but got scammed out of $500 instead.

Jon Omer Segul has been charged after outing himself to police.

According to court documents, 50-year-old Sengul called from a Days Inn Motel in West Palm Beach, Florida to report an alleged theft related to prostitution activity. When an officer arrived, Sengul told the officer that he had paid for sexual actives he had not received.

Realizing that Sengul was making incriminating statements, the officer stopped the interview and read Sengul his Miranda Warnings. Confirming that he understood, Sengul continued speaking to the officer.

He told investigators that he offered a group of people in another room $500 for one or more of them to come to his hotel room to have sex with him. Again, documents say the officer clarified with Sengul that "he was telling me he solicited another person for sex - and he confirmed that he did."

Based on his own admission, Sengul was arrested for solicitation of prostitution.
