New York Escorts: Man Sentenced in Norwalk Sex-Trafficking Case

NORWALK, Conn. – A New York man has been sentenced for his role in a Norwalk prostitution ring, according to David B. Fein, U.S. attorney for Connecticut.
This is an account of what happened, according to Fein: Harry Franklin, aka “Streets” and “Uncle Stacks,” 27, of the Bronx, N.Y., was sentenced Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in Bridgeport to 51 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release for his involvement in an interstate prostitution enterprise that included the sex trafficking of two minor victims.
Franklin, his cousin Theodore “Peejaye” Briggs, Giovanni Vazquez and others were involved in a prostitution business that Briggs ran out of his Norwalk apartment. In 2010, Franklin introduced Briggs to a woman and a 14-year-old girl who subsequently began to work in Briggs’ prostitution business. Franklin also helped facilitate the transportation of women and minors between Connecticut, New York and New Jersey to engage in commercial sex acts.

New York Escorts: MAX HAINES MURDER MYSTERY

Theirs was not an ideal marriage. Joe would leave Claudine in their trailer home in Cooperstown for weeks at a time.
Claudine had no idea that Joe had made contact with mobsters through his prison connections. He had become a contract hit man, sometimes earning $10,000 for a murder.
It was convenient for him to return to Cooperstown to hide out with Claudine.
Once Joe got into killing for profit, the hatred he harboured for his mother resurfaced. In Connecticut, he picked up two teenage prostitutes, Ronni Tassiello and Alaine Hapeman.
He stabbed them to death. When their bodies were recovered, it was learned each had been stabbed more than 100 times. During a 13-month period, Joe roamed the country in a drunken stupor, killing as he went, sometimes for profit, more often prostitutes whom he hated with a rage nurtured since childhood.

New York Escorts: Demonstrations to press Israel on prostitution

Demonstrations to press Israel on prostitution
January 31, 2012
(JTA) – Demonstrations to put international pressure on Israeli lawmakers to criminalize the purchase of sexual services in Israel are set to be held in four major cities worldwide.

The legislation, proposed by Orit Zuaretz of the Kadima Party, is based on laws that have been enacted in Sweden, Iceland, Norway and most recently in France. The model works on the principle that in order to effectively combat sex trafficking and prostitution, the demand for sexual services must be confronted. 
“Simply put, prostitution is a form of modern slavery and must be eradicated — not just in Israel but throughout the world,” said Rabbi Levi Lauer, founding executive director of ATZUM.

More than 15,000 individuals are estimated to be working in the prostitution industry in Israel, including 5,000 minors.

New York Escorts: Jennifer Love Hewitt Goes Shopping For Sex Toys

Jennifer Love Hewitt was spotted shopping for sex toys last week in Hollywood. Wait a minute, who was watching all of her cats at home? Mr. Snuggles must have been so lonely! From the New York Post:
Jennifer Love Hewitt was spotted shopping for toys at the Hustler store the other night on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. Hewitt was solo and, according to our spy, “had a few pairs of thongs in her hand and was perusing the ‘toys’ section before making a purchase.” Perhaps the actress was doing some research for her new role in the Lifetime series The Client List, in which she plays a Texas mom-turned-prostitute. Her rep didn’t get back to us.
The New York Posts’ writers are either comedians or puritans, because nobody believes that J.Love needs to impale herself on dildos to research movies. There could be three reasons why Jennifer needs to buy enormous rubber penises:1. Research for a Movie of the Week (yeah right)2. Vagina is beat to hell (possible, but J enjoys the company of seemingly less well-endowed WASPs)3. Power scissoring (when scissoring that special lady isn’t enough, add a doubled-headed kidney masher)My guess goes with 3, what’s yours?

New York Escorts: Passionate with Joe Garcia

With other New Yorkers, Joe shares a sophistication not overly burdened by self-consciousness. And, like New York natives who appreciate the big bad city, Joe is amenable to getting side-tracked. If he had not been intercepted in a Wienerwald restaurant one fateful night, you might perhaps be seeing him on the stage of the Staatsoper today. However, he was approached by a perfectly friendly couple who introduced him to a perfectly friendly old gent. 
In a Ringstrasse hotel a week later, said gent handed him 5,000 Schillings and invited him to an apartment in the 19th District. Ushered into the bedroom, Joe was presented with a fait waiting to be accompli-ed – “a huge bed with a woman in it” – and for the next two years he was a sexual (not musical) performer for one of Austria’s most wealthy and powerful businessman, since deceased. “It was prostitution, but then so is opera – and that’s good, not bad,” he muses. Detachment is indispensable to brilliance. “It might be better to date opera than to live with it.”

New York Escorts: Corlear’s Hook and Its Hooker History

… Walnut Street [now Jackson] probably had the highest concentration of commercial sex in New York…Prostitution in the Hook was the most impoverished in the city… By 1839, eighty-seven brothels were situated in the Hook.”

Please welcome the treating girls, or the occasional prostitutes. (I really must thank the Tenement Museum for having an Educator Meeting about this fascinating topic). This vice of regular prostitution was, of course, not limited to the Hook, but I thought you’d get a kick out of this:

In New York, prostitution was so prevalent and almost, dare I say accepted, that some streetwalkers became celebrities.

And how about Madam Eliza Jumel? You may recognize that name. Her eponymous mansion is the oldest surviving house in Manhattan. Again, according to City of Eros “the leading prostitute in post-Revolutionary America was Eliza Bowen Jumel…she entered her mother’s profession at an early age…everybody who was anybody knew her or knew about her.” For several decades she was the wealthiest woman in America.

New York Escorts: Zach Braff: And now for my comedy about suicide

Most first-time playwrights would be quaking in their boots, but Braff, when we meet at a London hotel, seems unruffled. “I always dreamed of doing a play in the West End,” says the 36-year-old, sipping on a supersized coffee, his puppyish charm undimmed by the fact he only got off a plane from the US (disappointingly, he didn’t fly it) a few hours before. “I’ve been to London a few times – as a child, as a backpacker, and for my 35th birthday. I said, ‘I’ve got to come and do a play here.’ But I never in 1,000 years guessed it would be my own play. It’s like I’ve spoken it into existence.”
All New People is a comic four-hander set in a holiday apartment in Long Beach Island, where the miserable Charlie (played by Braff) is marking his 35th birthday by attempting suicide. This is frustrated by the arrival, in quick succession, of a British estate agent, a fireman and a prostitute. It’s already had …

New York Escorts: A Meatpacking District Bartender Tells Us The Best And Worst Parts Of Her Job

In the Meatpacking District, there are lots of prostitutes in the area. You can tell who they are. If there’s a man with a Miller Light and a man with a scotch, they’ll go for the guy with the scotch. On Christmas Eve, I saw a prostitute circling the bar. She kept getting rejected and ended up crying at the bar. You see a lot of stuff you don’t want to see: cheating, puking, screaming — the worst side of human nature.

I’ve gotten extravagant tips from people who think they’re showing off for me or think I’ll then owe them favors. The No. 1 thing I was taught: it’s my bar. The bartender has discretion over who they’ll serve. It’s up to us. I’m not here to be a servant. I’m not a prostitute. I get people kicked out all the time for an inordinate amount of attitude.
