According to arrest documents published by the Washington Post, Anthony responded to a personal ad placed on "escort" website Backpage.com by the Human Trafficking Unit. The majority of the personal ads placed on Backpage are openly offering professional sex services.

The undercover officer allegedly asked Anthony for $80 for "intercourse," to which the NBA analyst replied "Oh, I don't wanna say all that."

"I just need to know so I don't have surprises," explained the undercover officer.

"Oh just whatever," conceded Anthony.

"So straight intercourse or [oral sex]?" asked the officer, offering "So $80 for sex" when Anthony's answer appeared unclear.

Anthony was then asked if he wanted the officer to dress up.

"Oh yeah," the documents state Anthony replied.

The conversation transcript ends there.

The undercover officer then signaled for Anthony's arrest. He was eventually charged with misdemeanor solicitation for prostitution.

Anthony was indefinitely suspended from CBS and Turner Sports after the incident.
