In the wake of a hooker scandal that forced one Utah lawmaker to resign, the state’s politicians are now urging members to use a “buddy system” to prevent being entrapped by a “honeypot.”

“We feel like it’s appropriate at this time to put everybody on alert there may be people with malintent [sic] that are trying to, for money, try to put us in a situation,” Republican Senate President Wayne Niederhauser said in a meeting with reporters and Senate leadership on Friday, referring to call girl Brie Taylor’s claims to the DailyMail that GOP Rep. Jon Stanard paid her for sex twice, Fox 13 in Salt Lake City reported.

The warning from the state’s House of Representatives came after a Republican lawmaker claimed on Friday that a manipulative maneater tried to lure him into a hotel room the night before at the same place where Taylor claimed Stanard met her for sex, the outlet reported.

“I opened the door and there was a young lady standing there and she said ‘Hi,’ and I said, ‘Hi, who are you?’ And she said, ‘I’m your date.’ I said, ‘No, you’re not.’ She said, ‘Yes, I’m your date,'” recalled Senator Evan Vickers.

When she refused to leave, Vickers said he fled to his room, locked the door and called a colleague for help.

“She was standing in front of the elevator and I said, ‘I don’t know who you are and what you’re doing here,’ and she said, ‘No, you don’t understand. I’m your date.’ I said, ‘No I’m not’ and walked back into the room,'” he recalled.

At least one Republican senator said his colleagues must be on guard for honeypots– those who seduce their targets to extort them for money or information.

“I believe that this was more of a setup, and I also believe Sen. Vickers was caught by surprise,” House Majority Whip Francis Gibson told FOX 13.

Niederhauser urged lawmakers to “walk in groups” and said the Senate would be reviewing its security footage in light of the incidents.

Stanard, 43, — who has voted for tougher penalties for prostitution — quit the state legislature earlier in the week. The House Speaker’s office chalked up his departure to “personal and family issues.”
