San Diego Strip Clubs: Preliminary hearing set for Marine who allegedly strangled stripper wife
April 28, 2010 at 12:13 pm | In San Diego strip clubs | No CommentsA Miramar-based Marine who allegedly admitted strangling his stripper wife of two months in their Mira Mesa apartment is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Wednesday.
Lance Cpl. Patrick Thomas Poteat, 21, is accused in the Jan. 5 death of Kalyn O’Barr-Poteat.
At Poteat’s arraignment, Deputy District Attorney Dan Link told Judge David Szumowski that the defendant failed to show up for work at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar the morning of his wife’s murder and was considered absent without leave.
A superior who went to look for Poteat at his home got a text message from the defendant, telling him to call 911 and force entry into the apartment, where “you’ll find my wife’s body,” Link said.
When authorities got into the Hillery Drive apartment, they found the 19-year-old victim dead with scratches on her neck, the prosecutor said.

San Diego Escorts: Learn how to prevent sexual exploitation/trafficking of our children
April 26, 2010 at 5:25 pm | In San Diego escorts | No CommentsEspecially now that adult prostitution is legal in Tijuana, the corridors of human trafficking are wide open.
In San Diego, it is the growing number of homeless youths that are most often the victims of sex trafficking crimes, frequently lured into prostitution out of the necessity for food, shelter and money.
In a special report by SDGLN correspondents Tryce Czyczynska and Lisa N. Sanders, we learned that LGBT youths experience homelessness at a hugely disproportionate rate. Out of the entire U.S. population, 3 to 5 percent of Americans identify themselves as LGBT, but LGBT homeless youths make up 40 percent of the homeless and runaways.
The FBI has identified sex trafficking as a serious issue plaguing our community. In January 2009, FBI agents captured three San Diegans who pleaded guilty to sex trafficking crimes. Between Aug. 15, 2007, and Oct. 11, 2007, the three traffickers enticed dozens of juveniles to work as prostitutes.
San Diego Strip Clubs: Kensington at 100
April 25, 2010 at 4:12 am | In San Diego strip clubs | No CommentsKensington originally lay outside San Diego’s municipal boundaries, but residents gradually voted to annex their subdivisions into the city to assure better fire protection. The last annexation took place in 1953.
At the beginning, residents got to and from their homes by riding the Adams Avenue streetcar line. Kids attended Benjamin Franklin Elementary, opened on Copeland Street in 1929, the same year the Kensington Congregational Church (now affiliated with the United Church of Christ) opened on Marlborough. The Ken Club bar opened in 1935, the Ken Cinema in 1947.
But following World War II, the population declined as many second-generation residents moved away.
Winnie Hanford, who bought a home with her husband Richard in 1963 and opened a gift shop next to the theater, said the streets were very quiet after 5 p.m. — except the time when a swarm of Hells Angels rode in for free beer at a strip club across the street.
San Diego Adult Entertainment: SoCal detective gets 2 years for prostitute attack
April 23, 2010 at 1:49 am | In San Diego adult entertainment | No CommentsA San Diego County sheriff’s detective has been sentenced to two years in prison for assaulting a prostitute he picked up in his patrol car.
Thomas Sadler apologized to the judge as he was sentenced Wednesday. He was convicted in March of felony assault and battery by a peace officer and two misdemeanors. He was acquitted of felony sexual battery and false imprisonment.
Prosecutors say the married 20-year veteran picked up a prostitute in his unmarked police car in 2008 and drove her to a Mission Valley parking lot.
However, authorities say the 49-year-old Sadler changed his mind about having sex and struck the woman with his car door as he drove away. She wasn’t seriously hurt.At trial, four other women testified that he groped them during drug searches.

San Diego Adult Entertainment: Fetching La Traviata
April 23, 2010 at 1:49 am | In San Diego adult entertainment | No CommentsThe opening performance of Verdi’s La Traviata at the San Diego Opera started with a hiccup but ended on several high notes. The show was delayed due to the last-minute substitution of conductor Karen Keltner for Renato Palumbo, who was to make his house debut on Saturday night. It led to a musically glitchy first act with the orchestra and the singers not in sync.
Everything came together by the time Elizabeth Futral launched into Violetta’s Act I ending “Sempre Libera,” however. The American soprano started well and shone brightest in the final act. Her top notes didn’t rub well on me, but all else was worthy of the fetching courtesan she portrayed. The most gorgeous voice award belonged to her onstage lover, the Alfredo of Romanian Marius Brenciu, whose tenor can easily be mistaken for an Italian with a silky legato no smoothie can compete with.

on how to smuggle underage girls into the US was shocking. So shocking it was played ad nauseam on FOX, contributed to a hysteria that led Congress to quickly–and, turns out, unconstitutionally–pass legislation to defund

Brown was able to obtain a complete set of unedited tapes from O’Keefe and Giles in exchange for granting them immunity from prosecution for unauthorized taping of individuals. They can still be sued in civil court, however, and it’s important that justice is done to redress what happened to people like the San Diego ACORN employee who tried to break-up the prostitution ring O’Keefe and Giles described to him.
San Diego Escorts: Sentencing delayed for man who smuggled prostitutes
April 21, 2010 at 12:37 am | In San Diego escorts | No CommentsSentencing was delayed until June 14 for a man convicted of smuggling two women from Mexico to Vista to work as prostitutes in North County migrant camps, a prosecutor said Monday.
Adrian Zitlalpopoca-Hernandez was convicted in January of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.
The federal charge carries a minimum sentence of 15 years in prison. The defendant was also found guilty of nine other federal charges related to the prostitution operation.
Zitlalpopoca-Hernandez — who was about 10 years older than each of his victims — alternately professed his love and promised marriage to each of the women to get them to engage in prostitution, according to published reports.

San Diego Adult Entertainment: San Diego Opera Opens Verdi’s LA TRAVIATA
April 19, 2010 at 1:38 am | In San Diego adult entertainment | No CommentsElizabeth Futral’s radiant courtesan above reproachBy Kenneth HermanPosted on Sun, Apr 18th, 2010 Last updated Sun, Apr 18th, 2010
…
Although much of Futral’s wide-ranging repertory is clearly off the beaten path—she sang in the world premieres of Tan Dun’s The First Emporer at the Met and San Francisco Opera’s A Streetcar Named Desire by André Previn and made her L.A. Opera debut as Cleopatra in Handel’s Giulio Cesare—she has been crafting her interpretation of Verdi’s cherished courtesan Violetta Valéry since 2004. Although I was not entirely convinced that this role was right for her when I heard her sing it at Lyric Opera of Chicago in 2007, on Saturday I was willing to quote Henry Higgins: “By George, I think she’s got it.”
Futral’s take on Violetta emphasizes the vulnerability and desperation of the consumptive but beautiful courtesan in mid-19th century Paris, which filled her arias “Ah! fors’è lui” and “Addio del passato” with abundant, heart-tugging pathos. As Violetta attempts …

Take a sacrificial courtesan from the demi-monde, add a doting lover and a bourgeois authoritative father, and there you have a foundation for an emotionally charged and explosive plot. Such are the key protagonists found in Alexandre Dumas fils literary work, La Dame aux Camélias, that caused initial shock and intrigue when brought to the stage.
