BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) _ A New York man has been sentenced to more than four years in prison for his role in a ring that transported girls as young as 14 across state lines for prostitution.
Federal prosecutors say 27-year-old Harry Franklin of the Bronx, also known as “Streets” and “Uncle Stacks,” was involved in a prostitution business that his cousin ran out of his Norwalk, Conn., apartment. He allegedly facilitated the transport of women and minors between Connecticut, New York and New Jersey for commercial sex acts.
Franklin pleaded guilty in October to transportation of an individual with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. He was sentenced Wednesday in Bridgeport to four years and three months in prison.

New York Adult Entertainment: You overlook Jersey City’s black leaders: Letter

People have asked me if I still intend to pursue the Ward F council seat in the upcoming municipal elections here in Jersey City. You see, I discovered that I was being asked this question because I ran back in 2009 and once Former Ward F Councilwoman Viola Richardson won the special election for one of the council at large seats, The Jersey Journal ran a story about her victory and they just ignored my name as being one of the potential candidates to fill the seat.
In the past, I have read commentaries in The Jersey Journal about new black leaders in Jersey City; however, although we do exist many of us are strategically overlooked. Now, let’s take for example the misfortunate incident with Bruce Alston (I do not know if he’s guilty or not) but while he is going through due process, his story made front page news, and another commentary from the past was the arrest and conviction of the pimp (who is now deceased) whose story also made the front cover of The Jersey Journal. So, what is it that I am saying?

New York Adult Entertainment: Style files: Dancer Ethan Stiefel

Silver and black Nike Air Force 1s: “I often use these kicks as my dress shoes. I found the AF1s at an uptown shop on Broadway and like that they almost seem to glow in the dark
in a certain light.”
Native shoes: “The Natives are fun, because when people first see them, they don’t know exactly what to make of them.”
Adidas Stormtrooper sweatshirt: “This came from a shop in Manhattan. I have several items from the Adidas Star Wars line, although this is one of my favourites.”
Psycho Bunny skull tie: “Although I don’t wear a tie too often, a good friend and former co-worker gave me the Psycho Bunny one. I like the funky mix of colourful plaid with the Psycho Bunny icon.”
John Varvatos shearling jacket: “It’s rock star-pimp and keeps you warm. My fiancee, Gillian, was generous enough to buy this for me at the John Varvatos store in New York City.”

New York Strip Clubs: The Long and Short New York Magazine’s Longreads

The final piece became the starting piece for yet another, longer read: Mr. Yang’s first, forthcoming book, which was bought by HarperCollins imprint Ecco Press in July.
“One of the things that’s amazing about the piece is its language,” Mr. Moss said, as he gave the audience a taste of its opening salvo.
“Let me summarize my feelings toward Asian values: Fuck filial piety. Fuck grade-grubbing. Fuck Ivy League mania. Fuck deference to authority. Fuck humility and hard work. Fuck harmonious relations. Fuck sacrificing for the future. Fuck earnest, striving, middle-class servility.”
Good luck getting language like that past editors at the Wall Street Journal!
Ms. Pressler’s Nieman Journalism Lab-lauded profile of Diane Passage, the ex-stripper wife of celebrity accountant and Ponzi schemer Kenneth Starr, came straight out of the tabloids.

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 Strip Clubs: Even as Arrests Increase, Human Trafficking Remains A Problem

… We’re making dent, and we’re making progress,” said James Hayes, ICE’s Special Agent in Charge of Investigations. “But there’s still a lot of work to do.”
Between 14,500 and 17,500 victims are trafficked into the United States each year, according to the Department of Justice. ICE has been reaching out to the public with information about trafficking, particularly through January, which is the Human Trafficking Awareness month.
Most trafficking victims are from impoverished backgrounds and come from Mexico, El Salvador or Guatemala, often by crossing the border illegally or from south-east Asia and Eastern Europe, using fraudulent documents.
Traffickers often entice their victims with the prospect of jobs, education or marriage in the United States.
“When they get here, they’re working 14 hours in a night club, 14 hours in a strip club, 14 hours in a massage parlor, or worse,” Hayes said.

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.
