New York Escorts: Self-proclaimed ‘King of All Pimps’ sentenced to four years in prison

… In Nevada, the saying is, ‘If it doesn’t scare the horses, who cares?’” he told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Thomas Farber before being led away in his handcuffs and black velvet jacket.
“I predict here and now that eight years from now, in the year 2020, New York and other enlightened states will decriminalize the world’s oldest profession, namely prostitution,” he said, ending his statement with, “And I’d like to give a shout-out to Billy Ray Cyrus!”
The perennially stoned Itzler, 44, had mistakenly believed that the alleged john in the case — a Pennsylvania man who paid Itzler $19,500 for a cocaine and hooker binge at the Trump International Hotel last year — was country singer Billy Ray Cyrus using an alias.
This is Itzler’s second escort service conviction; in 2007 he pleaded guilty to running New York Confidential, an escort service prosecutors say earned $1.2 million.

Judge frowns on accused NY madam’s 3rd atty switch Wednesday May 9, 2012 7:00 PM JENNIFER PELTZ The Associated Press

New York Escorts: ‘The Killing’: Linden and Holder get violently halted as they close in on a …

After listening closer to Rosie’s final voicemail, the detectives’ turn to the casino, a sleeping dragon not wanting to be roused. Investigators hear the sound of construction buzzing in the background of the recording, leading them to believe a new wing underway at the gambling grounds may be where Rosie spent her finals hours. Michael Ames returns to the suspect list, as he’s already been linked to the casino on the evening of Rosie’s murder, and it was his company handling the renovations. In searching of evidence, Linden and Holder head to the casino island, a Native American reservation controlled and governed by strict tribal code.
Terry (Jamie Anne Allman) also gets questioned by the cops now that Ames is in focus, and Stan Larsen’s (Brent Sexton) kids accidentally divulge the news to their dad. Forced to admit she met Ames through Beau Soleil, the escort service linked to Rosie’s demise, Stan kicks Terry to the curb. Meanwhile, Darren Richmond (Billy Campbell) realizes he needs the Larsen endorsement to win his campaign, and through some reverse psychology, coerces Stan to speak at his press conference.

New York Escorts: Nick Kristof’s Itty-Bitty Prostitution Hypocrisy Issue

Consummate do-gooder NYT columnist Nick Kristof is waging a campaign against Backpage.com, the online hooker-ad compendium, and its corporate parents, Village Voice Media and (until Kristof gave them bad PR) Goldman Sachs. Is there a note of hypocrisy to be found in all this? Perhaps, a little!
Kristof’s column today is back on the topic of Backpage, and how pimps use it to sell girls who are underage, sex-trafficked, or both. “When I wrote recently about this, these firms erupted in excuses and self-pity, and in some cases raced to liquidate their stakes,” he writes. “I was struck by the self-absorption and narcissism of Wall Street bankers viewing themselves as victims.”
Kristof works for the New York Times. The New York Times Company owns the broad info website About.com. Last week on BigJournalism.com, Joel Pollak raised a legitimate point: About.com hosts ads for escort services and other types of “adult entertainment”—which could be home to underage or sex-trafficked girls just as easily as Backpage.com could.
