Toledo Adult Entertainment: WTOL.com – Toledo’s News Leader | Craigslist strikes adult services under pressure
September 4, 2010 | | Leave a Comment
The move comes just over a week after a group of state attorneys general said there weren’t enough protections against blocking potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution. It’s not clear if the closure is permanent, and it appears to only affect ads in the United States.
…
Craigslist’s adult services section carried ads for everything from personal massages to a night’s companionship, which critics say veered into prostitution.
…
Prosecutors can argue Craigslist is an “intermediary” to the crime of prostitution, Zittrain said, but such cases are hard to prove. He said prosecutors must essentially prove that Craigslist knew an ad was a solicitation for prostitution; ads on Craigslist are typically worded more vaguely.
…
In an Aug. 24 letter, the state attorneys general said Craigslist should remove the section because it couldn’t adequately block potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution and child trafficking.

The search warrant affidavits in the case are sealed, he said.
The home where Tasby lives with his parents in Moreno Valley, about 70 miles east of Los Angeles, is three blocks from the field where Lopez’s purse and backpack were found.
Tasby worked at Valley View High School from March 2007 to November 2009 as an instructional aide working with special education students, said Henry Voros, assistant superintendent of human resources for the Moreno Valley Unified School District.
School district records show Tasby resigned for personal reasons Nov. 17. That followed his arrest Oct. 29 on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute, according to Riverside County Superior Court records.
He pleaded not guilty and the case is pending. A call to Glen Sandler, Tasby’s attorney in the prostitution case, was not immediately returned.

September 2, 2010 | | Leave a Comment
Puffy and J. Lo Hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was dating bombshell J. Lo in 1998, and the couple were riding high until a fateful December night brought trouble to their highly publicized romance. The couple were partying it up at Club New York in Manhattan when gunfire broke out injuring multiple people. Puffy (as he was then called) was arrested alongside fellow rapper Shyne for felony gun possession and assault charges. Lopez found herself handcuffed as well, although never charged. In the end Puffy was found not guilty on all charges, but that wasn’t enough to save the relationship.
Nas and Kelis
These two have had their fair share of ups and downs. They met in 2002, married in 2005, and had filed for divorce and had a baby by 2009. Somewhere in between Kelis was put behind bars. The “Milkshake” singer was charged in 2007 with two misdemeanors for yelling racial slurs at undercover officers who were investigating a prostitution sting and had allegedly questioned men in the area, including her husband, Nas. Lucky for her though, Kelis was acquitted on all charges.

Toledo Adult Entertainment: ‘The American’: red, white, and boring
September 1, 2010 | | Leave a Comment
Jack’s bloody retreat to a hideaway cabin in Sweden, where assassins attempt to take him out, and he’s forced to kill his innocent lover as part of his getaway, has convinced him it’s time to retire.
Jack flees to Italy and calls his longtime employer, Pavel (Johan Leysen), for help. Pavel says Jack is losing his edge and getting sloppy, but agrees to help him escape to a small Italian town until the heat from the recent killings dissipates.
Jack is wary of new places and faces, but he reluctantly befriends the town’s priest (Paolo Bonacelli), who quickly sees the hired killer for the troubled soul he is. For companionship, Jack employs the services of a beautiful prostitute, Clara, played by Violante Placido, who is frequently asked to shed clothing, perhaps to keep audiences awake. Clara quickly falls for Jack, even as he attempts to keep his distance, to avoid a repeat of what happened in Sweden.

Toledo Escorts: Ohio Man Charged with Sex Trafficking of a Juvenile, Other Offenses
August 31, 2010 | | Leave a Comment
A criminal complaint was filed today charging Mark A Fetter with sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion; sex trafficking of a juvenile; and obstruction of a sex trafficking investigation, said Steven M Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, and C Frank Figliuzzi, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Cleveland Office. Fetter, 27, of Toledo, was arrested by Toledo police on August 16, 2010 after detectives found a 17-year-old developmentally delayed girl being forced to prostitute herself in Room 26 of the Sunset Motel on Telegraph Road in Toledo. “There are few crimes more appalling than children being held against their will and forced into prostitution,” Dettelbach said. The case is being investigated by the Northwest Ohio Violent Crimes Against Children Task Force (NWOVCACTF).
It originated with the Toledo Police Department’s Vice/Narcotics Unit. “The FBI and this task force are dedicated to recovering child victims and putting sex traffickers out of this horrific business,” Figliuzzi said. Police were told by a …

TOLEDO, Ohio (WUPW) – A 27-year-old Toledo man is behind bars after FBI agents say he was forcing a developmentally delayed teenager to prostitute herself.
Mark A. Fetter is facing two sex trafficking charges and one charge of obstruction.
Federal agents said Fetter was forcing the 17-year-old girl to have sex at the Sunset Motel on Telegraph Road and he was recruiting clients at area bars.
An undercover sting operation brought him in.
A confidential informant told police that she witnessed several men outside of a room waiting their turn to have sex with the girl.
…
“Toledo is a hot spot for human trafficking in large part because of the nexus of the highways,” Tobin said. “We’re certainly pursuing this case in that context that this was a girl being held against her will and forced into prostitution.”

August 29, 2010 | | Leave a Comment
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – Popular Gov. Joe Manchin won the Democratic nomination Saturday and will face GOP primary winner and wealthy businessman John Raese in the race to fill the Senate seat vacated by the late Robert C. Byrd.
Raese defeated a crowded field of Republicans and becomes part of the GOP quest to dismantle the Democratic Senate majority as high unemployment and the slow economic recovery take a toll on their political prospects this fall.
In Louisiana, scandal-tainted Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter easily beat two little-known challengers and will meet Democratic Rep. Charlie Melancon, who won his party’s primary, in November.
Vitter survived a 2007 prostitution scandal after he admitted an unspecified “serious sin” after his phone number appeared in the records of a Washington prostitution ring. He has also shrugged off fresh questions about his judgment in allowing an aide to remain on his staff for more than two years after a violent attack on a woman police identified as his ex-girlfriend.

Toledo Escorts: Meet Mesrine: Half A Gangster Epic, Totally ‘Killer’
August 27, 2010 | | Leave a Comment
John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson — Hollywood has long had a love affair with real-life gangsters. A few decades ago, there was a crime boss in France who made that kind of impression: Jacques Mesrine, coldblooded, hot-tempered, unashamedly brutal and the wielder of a killer smile. And in the biopic Mesrine: Killer Instinct, he gives his better-known American rivals a run for their cinematic money.
Adapted from a memoir that Mesrine wrote in prison, the film takes him from shooting unarmed rebels in Algiers to robbing banks and kidnapping a wealthy employer in Canada to breaking out of — and then back into — a supposedly escape-proof prison.
The filmmakers never even remotely try to make him appealing. But they sure make him seductive. At one point, they have him dancing with a woman who’ll soon be his wife — sexy, slow — and somehow he’s also dancing with the camera. As she melts in his arms, the audience gets caught up in the embrace. Then our antihero returns to his whore, slaughters a pimp and buries a guy alive, and you’re left thinking, “Oh, yeah, there’s that side of him.”
