Maybe that thing about old people being more sexually active and healthy well into their golden years is true. Sounds like it could be in Iowa, anyway, where an 83-year-old man was arrested this week for prostitution.

No, his name was not Fred Garvin. We wish.

HeartlandConnection.com (that’s a news website, not a dating service) reports that the police had been investigating Clifford Dawson, 83, since Oct. 22. From the Heartland:

“According to police, they received a complaint that Dawson had offered to perform sex acts on a woman in exchange for repayment of a loan. Dawson allegedly grabbed the victim and began kissing her neck without consent.”
At the age of 83, being charged with prostitution seems less like an embarrassment or problem than a qualification for some kind of senior merit badge. Dawson is also being charged with two aggravated misdemeanors and intent to commit sexual abuse.

He was released on $2,000 bail -- hell, he probably makes that in one night?

Oh, and: “Dawson is listed as a candidate for city council.” Ba-dum tishshshshsh!
