David Copperfield Attorney Addresses False Rape Claim was a top story in January. Here it is again as we recap 2010: The Smoking Gun Reports: A two-year FBI probe into a Seattle woman’s claim that she was raped by David Copperfield was closed this week, shortly after federal investigators learned that the alleged victim is being investigated for prostitution and lying to cops about a sexual assault that purportedly occurred last month, police records show.
A PR company sent us the following statement by David Copperfield’s attorney, Angelo Calfo of Yarmuth, Wilsdon, Calfo PLLC in response to the FBI’s announcement: “David Copperfield, his family and friends are relieved that federal prosecutors finally closed their investigation without bringing a single charge, after Bellevue police recommended that the so-called victim be charged as a criminal for making a false rape claim last month against a Seattle-area man,” Calfo said.

Estimates of how many underage girls are involved in prostitution vary: A study by anthropologist Debra Boyer called “Who Pays the Price” found about 250 girls working as prostitutes who were known to Seattle social services providers. Boyer estimated that 300 to 500 girls total were working in the Seattle-King County area. Lt. Eric Sano, commander of the vice and high-risk victims unit of the Seattle Police Department, said that he believes the number to be closer to the range of 800 to 1,000 girls involved.
…
Another reason some gang members get involved with prostitution rather than drugs is that a girl can be coached to say that she’s a cousin, friend, etc., of the pimp if she is questioned by police, while illegal drugs are illegal regardless of what kind of explanation they give to the officers, Sano said. FBI Special Agent Tarna Derby-McCurtain said that federal authorities have been getting more involved in prosecuting pimps in recent years, even in c …

Tracey James Barnes was later convicted of sex trafficking crimes in federal court in Florida. The charges involved other girls he pimped. He was sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison, and died in federal prison in Louisiana in 2007. Maria continued working as a prostitute for another seven or eight years, first as an escort – setting up meetings with customers by phone – and later as a dancer at Rick’s strip club on Lake City Way in Seattle, an establishment later shut down as part of a federal racketeering prosecution. As she neared the end of telling her story to a Seattle PostGlobe reporter a few weeks ago, her tone warmed when she talked about working for Frank Colacurcio Sr., the now-late owner of Rick’s. “He loved us. Some days when business was slow, he’d come through and give us each $40,” she said. “He wasn’t a pimp. He wasn’t saying, ‘Go, make money!’” Maria said the setup at R …

Frank Colacurcio, owner of Rick’s until his death earlier this year, is the driving narrative force of Seattle Vice: Strippers, Prostitution, Dirty Money, and Crooked Cops in the Emerald City, written by Seattle Weekly staff writer Rick Anderson. Those newer to town might remember Frank best from 2003’s “Strippergate” non-scandal, in which three City Council members were paid off to expand Rick’s parking lot. It’s not a biography of the infamous pillar of Seattle’s seedy underbelly, per se, but it serves as a kind of tribute as it follows his career through the history of Seattle’s world of police payoffs, racketeering and strip clubs, and beyond to Aberdeen cathouses, and even to the US Supreme Court–from those who set the stage for Frank, like silent film producer John Considine, lesser known for paying off Seattle police to violate the city’s sin laws (did you know that women weren’t allowed to work where alcohol was being served at the start of the 20th century?) to online pornographer Seth Warshavsky.

It amazes me how so many people can defend the whole idea of being herded and treated like cattle and then criticize those who want to preserve their dignity and personal privacy. My message to the airlines and the airport security authorities; Keep your hands and your electronic strippers away from my body. It’s my home. It’s where I live and its sacred territory and you have no right to violate it unless you have reasonable cause to believe that I am committing a crime. Air travellers have been treated for far too long like sheep at best and criminals at worst. YOU KNOW WHO THE POTENTIAL TERRORISTS ARE AND WHERE THEY COME FROM! Take a deep breath, swallow your silly politically correct pride and go after them, not me!!

A man serving a life sentence for strangling a transsexual prostitute has been given an indefinite jail term for raping a woman in Brighton just five weeks earlier.
Neil McMillan, 43, had embarked on a “sequence of behaviour” of attacking sex workers that “rapidly escalated from rape to murder”, the Old Bailey heard.
McMillan, from Brighton, was described as posing a danger of “extreme sexual violence” as he was jailed today for the sex attack in September last year.
The court heard that he had raped a prostitute after she challenged him over money he owed her, and his actions had “affected her badly”.
…
The court heard that McMillan, originally from Dumfriesshire, would spend more than £100 an hour on prostitutes in Brighton, who he contacted through websites, and had arranged to pay Ms Waddell £140.

It was 1927, according to a HistoryLink essay by Phil Dougherty, that a key Pacific Highway link between Everett and Marysville was completed, a stretch that’s now Highway 529. In the decades to come, the northern edge of Everett was dotted with motels and drive-in restaurants to serve new travelers.
The Royal Motor Inn was built in 1961, just before the Century 21 Seattle World’s Fair in 1962. In 1965, the landscape was forever changed when I-5 came to Everett. Later in the 1960s, the interstate was completed through Marysville, O’Donnell said.
“There would have been some speculative stuff connected with the Seattle World’s Fair, but as it turns out the world’s fair was a prelude to Interstate 5 opening up,” Dilgard said. “Whatever designs those Everett motels might have had on the market were short-circuited.”
With the freeway bypassing the old North Broadway motels, their clientele changed for the worse.
By 2002, the Everett Police Department had targeted some motels as havens for crime. Police conducted raids and made arrests for prostitution and drug-dealing in the area.

Similar to Rick Riordan’s “The Lightning Thief” and “The Red Pyramid,” “Hold Me Closer, Necromancer” exploits these comic juxtapositions, having Sam react the way any slacker would when confronted by what he learns: with sarcasm and sass. His interactions with co-workers, friends and enemies are chock full of humorous one-liners that are, more often than not, wittily matched by whomever he’s talking to.
McBride has a gift for colorful characters, such as Sam’s next-door neighbor, Mrs. W, a witch. Still out on the town every night at the age of 70, she drives a cherry-red Mustang as if “she could die at any minute and needed to get five things done before that happens.” She’s perpetually delivering off-color humdingers, like the time she tells Sam he looks “filthier than a hot tub in a brothel” and suggests he “find a nice girl and do some not-so-nice things with her.”

He pleaded guilty in October to second-degree murder. In his plea, Naudon said that he killed Beery in self-defense, but acknowledged that a jury likely would find that his use of force was excessive and convict him of murder.
The injuries were absolutely horrific. Probably the worse Ive seen in my career, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Dave Hiltner said Monday.
There was evidence that Beery had been strangled and then her neck was cut from ear to ear, Hiltner said. Those kind of injuries arent consistent with a claim of self-defense, he said.
Naudon told police that hed met Beery, who was working as a prostitute, outside an Everett bowling alley. He took her to his apartment. He said he was in the shower when Beery came in, held a knife to his throat and demanded that he give her $100.

… Games] are silly,” I’d said, leading people to believe I don’t take games seriously or respect their artistic strides. As I’ve written before, I’m obsessed with the question of video games as art.
I posted a brief column that disagreed with how the ad portrayed players; but I had no beef with the game. Readers who didn’t know my prior work missed the distinction, and I didn’t do much to clue them in, which I regret. Still, I feel strongly about the ad’s real-life violence—not because I’m squeamish, but because I grew up being told by the fear-mongering media that video games do awful things to players. They make us violent, crazy, and soulless. They make us shoot up schools and kill prostitutes. They make us lose grasp on reality.
