Email rendezvous entangles state Rep. Phillip HinkleLawmaker calls encounter set up with young man on Craigslist a 'shakedown'12:52 PM, Aug. 12, 2011
Emails shared with The Indianapolis Star suggest that state Rep. Phillip Hinkle -- responding to a local posting on Craigslist -- offered a young man $80 plus tip to spend time with him Saturday night at the JW Marriott hotel.
The emails, sent from Hinkle's publicly listed personal address, ask the young man for "a couple hours of your time tonight" and offer him cash up front, with a tip of up to $50 or $60 "for a really good time."

But later the Craigslist guy changes his story...
BACKPEDDLINGUPDATE: Photo Of Phillip Hinkle's Craigslist "Sugar Baby" PLUS His Questionable Version Of EventsLast week we told you about Phillip Hinkle, the married, anti-gay GOP State Representative who tried to hook up with an 18-year-old boy via Craigslist. That boy, Kameryn Gibson, says that he exposed the politician because of Hinkle's anti-gay voting record. That's good. But he also says that his M4M Craigslist ad looking for a "sugga daddy" was just a joke. And that's bad.
The problem is that Gibson isn't telling the truth. If you look at Gibson's version of events in the Indy Star, you'll see that he sent Hinkle to sexy shots of himself showing his underwear and asked Hinkle what he could give him for a night together. Gibson then says that Hinkle picked him up in a car, took him to a hotel room, and that the two talked for 15 minutes while Hinkle wore nothing but a towel.
