A Dutch man who went to jail and was deported for running a big escort service in Florida is suing six former customers.
Arthur Vanmoor said the customers broke the law after purchasing time with the escorts. He said that's what led to his arrest, incarceration and deportation.
His lawyer said the men signed a credit card slip that said the "transaction is not for illegal activity."
The lawuit says if Vanmoor had known the men would break the law, he could have refunded the charges "as an act of withdrawal, abandonment or renunciation."
Officials said Vanmoor had about 50 women working for him at one time and reported more than $6 million in income in four years.
Court records show Florence Dating Service acocunted for up to 90 percent of escort service listings in Broward County's 2002 Yellow Pages.
