A Bad Way To Procrastinate While Studying for the Bar

Many of you are studying for bar exams at the end of this month. You read ATL while procrastinating — and perhaps you feel guilty about it.
But you shouldn’t. There are far worse ways to procrastinate.
Like using the internet to set up trysts with underage females — who turn out to be undercover detectives. This email was forwarded to us yesterday:

Philip Pilie… a graduating 3L this past May. See these links.

More background, from a tipster:

Guy in question was studying for the Louisiana Bar Exam before he got picked up [for computer-aided solicitation for sexual purposes and attempted indecent behavior with a juvenile].

He was a Georgia Law ’07 grad, with a job lined up at Baker Donelson (a big firm for the city) in New Orleans. All of that is obviously not going to happen now.

Kicker is this: If you Google his online handle, it comes up with forum posts for a bunch of fashion sites. In one he gives lengthy fashion advice…

The story is a bit old (from last month), but it’s juicy enough so that we don’t care. From the New-Orleans Times Picayune:

Philip R. Pilie, 26, of New Orleans, was picked up Wednesday at 5:53 p.m. when he arrived at a meeting place in Kenner to meet the girl, who actually was an undercover detective posing as a juvenile, police said.

Pilie, who used the screen name nola5671, chatted with a person he believed to be a girl, starting Wednesday about 3:45 p.m., police said. He told her he wanted to meet the girl at her home and have sex, police said.

He described the vehicle he would be driving during the chat that ended at 5:18 p.m., police said. He was arrested when he arrived at the prearranged location in the car he had described, police said.

You’d think a law school grad would know better. Guess they hadn’t reached Crim Law in Bar/Bri yet.

Pilie was booked with computer-aided solicitation for sexual purposes and attempted indecent behavior with a juvenile. He was released Thursday from the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center on a $12,500 personal surety bond, police said.

So Phil Pilie is out on bail — and remains innocent until proven guilty. Maybe he’ll sit for the bar after all?
If the whole “law” thing doesn’t work out for him, though, we think he has a promising career as a style columnist for a men’s magazine. Check out his impressive reflections upon designer jeans.
Who wouldn’t want fashion pointers from a guy with such fine taste in women female juveniles?
Update: From someone who knows Philip Pilie: “Apparently Philip is still planning on taking the bar Saturday. He was also engaged. Don’t know if it is still on or not.”
