‘Probably a first for Wautoma': Man arrested for soliciting Dollar General employees for sex
WAUTOMA, Wis. (WFRV) – In what the Chief of Police called 'probably a first for the City of Wautoma,' a man was arrested for soliciting prostitution from two Dollar General employees because a 'farmer was willing to pay to watch.'
According to the Wautoma Police Department, officers were called to a Dollar General on May 14 for reports of a man soliciting employees to perform sex acts in exchange for money.

Officers say the man, later identified as 35-year-old Wautoma resident Joshua Frahm, approached two women in the store and requested a sex act in exchange for money. After they refused, he left, but returned shortly after to offer more money.
One of the victims was able to provide a description of his vehicle, which was later found at a Wautoma Kwik Trip.
While Frahm was interviewed, he reportedly admitted to the previous accusations. Allegedly further saying that he solicited the women 'because a farmer from Saxeville was willing to pay him to watch the sex acts.'

This is probably a first for the City of Wautoma, our Kwik Trip and our Dollar General. Our agency cannot recall any prior arrest for soliciting prostitution in the history of the department. We are grateful for the quick thinking employees of Dollar General who were able to provide information that led to the suspects arrest.

The Dollar General employees also suggested that he may have approached other women in the area.
Frahm had a court appearance on May 16 and is being held on two counts of Soliciting Prostitution and Disorderly Conduct. Solicitation is a Class H felony and is punishable by up to six years imprisonment.
