Seattle Adult Entertainment: To help neighborhoods, don’t let vacant buildings shelter undesirable elements

Posted on March 31st, 2010 in Seattle adult entertainment by seattlesleuth

Instead of the promised grocery store on the ground floor, the neighborhood will get a drugs-and-prostitution mini-mall.
If the builder still owns it, it’s unlikely he has the means to make it impregnable to people who’d like a nice dry place to cook their drugs, pass out and defecate.
If a bank owns it? Well, we’ve seen how banks protect neighborhoods in which they hold foreclosed homes.
The vacancy is nothing new, but the private ownership is a switch.
In that part of Tacoma, we the people have owned the most spectacularly derelict buildings of the recent past.

Suddenly, prostitutes could work in dry places. People could cook their drugs inside. Firefighters had to go into increasingly weakened buildings, stepping on needles and in feces in the smoke and flames, to make sure no one was passed out inside.

Seattle Adult Entertainment: Prosecutor: Pair forced teen into prostitution

Posted on March 31st, 2010 in Seattle adult entertainment by seattlesleuth

SEATTLE — Prosecutors have charged a man and a woman accused of forcing a minor into prostitution, and using her to make money.

Hayes then made four 3-inch lines of cocaine, and forced the girl to snort all of them against her will with threats of violence, stating the drug would “keep her awake so she could make money for him as a prostitute,” according to the document.
The victim was then made to “walk the ‘track,’” an area of prostitution on Pacific Hwy S., with Young, detectives said.

When questioned by detectives, Young “played the part of a second victim,” and said “she had never prostituted before meeting Troy (Hayes) on March 17, 2010,” the statement said. However, Young has two previous convictions for prostitution in New York, investigators said.

Seattle Adult Entertainment: Guilty Verdict – Sex For World Series Tickets

Posted on March 29th, 2010 in Seattle adult entertainment by seattlesleuth

A jury found Finkelstein guilty of Criminal Attempt of Prostitution Thursday stemming from an October 2009 Internet and in-person exchange between the woman and a Bensalem Police officer. She was found not guilty on a second charge of Prostitution.
“I’m very disappointed that it was not, not guilty on both counts,” Finkelstein said standing outside the courtroom.

The officer testified Finkelstein had a condom in her purse, made suggestive comments including “I’m a prostitute. I’m a whore,” sent him nude cell phone photos and exposed herself to him during the meeting.
Finkelstein denies ever calling herself a prostitute or agreeing to offer sexual favors for the tickets, but some of the other claims were substantiated.

Attempt of Prostitution carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison, but prosecutor Steven Jones says he’s not sure if Finkelstein’s actions justify such a sentence.

Seattle Strip Clubs: Strip club boss, associates want to know who talked to feds

Strip club boss, associates want to know who talked to feds

In an indictment filed in June, federal prosecutors accused the Colacurcios and their associates of racketeering, using interstate commerce to facilitate prostitution, money laundering and mail fraud. At issue are allegations that the strip clubs — Rick’s in Lake City, Sugar’s in Shoreline, Honey’s in Everett and Fox’s in Parkland — were used as fronts for prostitution that allegedly garnered the men $25 million in the preceding four years.

Key to the prosecutors’ case, according to court documents, is the payment scheme in which strippers paid $75 to $130 in daily “rent” to the Colacurcio businesses. Such an arrangement is common in Washington strip clubs, which are not allowed to sell liquor to generate profit.

Arguing that Fueston and Ebert are in “blatant violation” of the court’s order, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tessa Gorman and Greenberg requested that the men be barred from the clubs in part because of the results of an undercover operation at Rick’s and Honey’s strip club in Everett.

Seattle Massage Parlors: Godmen are having bad ’stars’

Posted on March 28th, 2010 in Seattle massage parlors by massageseattle

Godmen are having bad “stars” these days, from the film world or from the sky!
Barely educated 39-year-old Shiv Dwivedi started in Delhi as a security guard and moved onto become a massage parlour employee. Caught more than once for running a sex racket and theft, he transformed himself as Ichhadhari Sant Swami Bhimanandji Maharaj Chitrakootwale. He is now cooling his heels behind bars. His ashram doubled as a sex den for high end clients! It is not correct to say that only such one-man missions are vulnerable to such abuse. In the highly orthodox Madhwa citadel of orthodoxy, Swami Lakshmivara Theertha of Udipi’s Shiroor Math continues to wear the saffron, and was chosen again as Paryaya Swamiji for the third time, even after his alleged 15-year affair with a woman became public knowledge!

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s wife and father have hired a Texas attorney to represent them in their upcoming depositions related to the investigation of slain stripper Tamara Greene’s death.
WXYZ reports that Carlita and Bernard Kilpatrick have hired Bobbie Edmonds, a judge and attorney based in Fort Worth, Texas who handles ”civil, personal, injury, criminal, employment and family” law cases.
Edmonds has represented clients in Michigan courts before. According to her Web site, she was one of the lead attorneys in a $4.5-million class action lawsuit for clients whose hair was damaged by the Rio Hair Naturalizer System during the 1990s. The settlement was awarded in 1996 by Judge Gerald Rosen of the U.S. Eastern District Court in Michigan — the same judge who ordered the Kilpatricks’ deposition last week.
