James Porter, who along with his wife Nicole Pham co-own the Lemon Grass restaurant chains. The couple purchased the 5,300 square foot Morris Mansion situated on five acres on Ketron Island in 2015. James was previously a Pierce County court clerk and used information he obtained through his job to solicit a woman who had been involved in prostitution. He asked her to find him an underage girl he could have sex with as well as hit, whip, and possibly cut with a knife! The woman thankfully reported him to police. He pled guilty and only served a little over a year in prison.

James Porters LinkedIn lists him as working as an accountant for the State of Washington Treasurers office since 2008. This is definitely the right James Porters LinkedIn because it also lists the Lemon Grass restaurant and his wife Nicole. If it is accurate and he has worked for the State for the last 10, then it's likely he is not the same James Porter who was convicted for solicitation of a minor. I'm going to keep looking but if it's not the same guy I will be deleting this.
