Oakland will pay $989,000, of which $973,000 will go to her lawyer, and she will receive $16,000, which works out to $20 per blowjob and $40 per normal sex act.

I couldn't find that part. Without it the story sounds less like an Aesop Fable and more like a stereotypical Hollywood movie with a happy ending. Good for her I guess. Couldn't find in the article whether these cops were fired, but this million should be paid by them, not the city.

1) First rule of police work Cops Do Not Pay for Sex on the Job.

2) A few of the cops were fired, one even self terminated, or did he? This scandal went far and high. No loose ends.

Officer Brendan O'Brien, who committed suicide in September 2015 at the age of 30, has been cleared in the death of his wife a year earlier, who also committed suicide but whose death was briefly considered suspicious. According to ABC 7, an independent investigation has concluded that sought to confirm O'Brien's death was a suicide, and that his wife's had been as well.

The East Bay Express explains more thoroughly that the investigation was done by the Alameda County District Attorney's office, and it concluded that "both deaths were investigated professionally and thoroughly, ultimately reaching the reasonable and appropriate determination to classify each death a suicide."

As we learned earlier, O'Brien took his own life claiming that he was being blackmailed by then underage sex worker Celeste Guap, who says she was in some kind of romantic relationship with O'Brien for a number of months.

Loose ends, wrapped up. The higher level cops can keep jobs. For now...
