Indecent Proposal

JULY 6--Meet Kevin Kayhart. The Wisconsin man, 34, is facing a felony charge for allegedly making an indecent proposal to a female real estate agent. Seems the creepy Kayhart approached the agent at the end of a May 21 open house and asked if she would take $500,000 for the home (which was being offered at only $145,000). According to a criminal complaint, Kayhart then handed her his handwritten purchase proposal, a three-page document that included an itemized list of six sex acts (labeled A-F) that the agent would have to perform to close the deal. Item B, for example, called for the woman to go with him to a remote location and have sex. The agent, identified in the complaint by her initials 'GEJ,' told Kayhart (who used the alias 'Steve Short') that 'his contract wouldn't work because it lacks the statutorily approved form in which the state of Wisconsin and realtors need to use.' After safely working her way out of the house, the agent contacted cops, who later nabbed Kayhart. Investigators obtained the sleazy sex proposal from Kayhart's estranged wife, who found it in his briefcase 'along with several other incriminating documents,' according to the complaint. Charged with soliciting prostitution, Kayhart faces a maximum of six years in prison if convicted of the charge. (5 pages)
