Demand reduction tactics have been used in the city.  For example, in December, 2012, the Old Orchard Beach Police Department arrested a man and charged him with “engaging a prostitute” after he phoned police to complain that the woman stopped 10 minutes short of the time they had agreed upon for the transaction. After the call, investigators began working on the case and were able to located the woman via backpage.com, and arrested her for prostitution. The man was also investigated for other possible incidents of engaging prostitutes. His identity was included in news reports. The man was named on the websites National Blacklist and Bad Boy Client List as someone who has prompted complaints from those providing prostitution.  Among the complaints against the man were lack of payment.  The sites serve as databases for “providers” to share information about sex buyers. The investigation also led to the arrests of two alleged prostituted women.
