Just driving the escort from place to place by itself isn't illegal . . . but . . .

If by "escort" and "talent" you mean prostitute, then you could be facing legal troubles.

If you knowingly assist in the commission of a crime, you're legally liable as well as the person who committed the offense. In your situation, if you get some of the proceeds of illegal sexual activities, then pimping and pandering statutes (both felonies) come into play..

If you're driving a legitimate stripper to perform non-prostitution acts, then you should be okay. Of course, if she decides to do something "extra" and the recipient is an undercover cop, you'll be left tap-dancing, trying to explain your way out of charges with a lawyer in court.
