Ralph Inzunza Convicted In 2005 Of Taking Bribes From Former Owner Of Cheetah’s Strip Club
POSTED: 10:33 pm PST January 9, 2012
UPDATED: 2:08 am PST January 10, 2012
SAN DIEGO — A former San Diego City councilman involved in the notorious “Stripper-gate” case will be heading to prison.
On Monday, a U.S. Supreme Court judge denied Ralph Inzunza’s request for a new hearing.
Inzunza was convicted in 2005 of taking bribes from the former owner of a Cheetah’s strip club in Kearny Mesa.
…
The former councilman was convicted of extortion, wire fraud and conspiring with a strip club owner to relax the “no-touch” laws in exchange for campaign contributions. Relaxing the law would have meant more money for the strip club. Former councilman Michael Zucchet was also convicted but later acquitted on all but two charges.
San Diego Strip Clubs: Ex-City Councilman Finally Headed To Prison
January 10, 2012 at 10:12 am | In San Diego strip clubs | No CommentsEx-City Councilman Finally Headed To Prison
Aired 1/9/12
After six years of fighting his conviction on bribery charges, ex-San Diego Councilman Ralph Inzunza has exhausted his appeals.
The U.S. Supreme Court has denied a request by former San Diego City Councilman Ralph Inzunza for a new hearing in the notorious case known as “Strippergate.”
The decision means Inzunza’s appeals are over and his 21-month prison sentence must begin.
The final verdict comes more than two years after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that there was enough evidence that the former councilman had conspired with a Las Vegas Lobbyist to eliminate no-touch rules at strip clubs in exchange for campaign contributions.
Former Assistant U.S. Attorney John Rice helped prosecute Inzunza. He said he’s surprised Inzunza wasn’t advised to go ahead and serve his prison sentence since the likelihood of a successful appeal was so remote.

San Diego Strip Clubs: T-Pain, coming to Sioux City, brushes off his critics with hits
December 26, 2011 at 1:13 am | In San Diego strip clubs | No CommentsCHULA VISTA, Calif. (AP) — T-Pain knows that whatever he does — including his latest album, “rEVOLVEr,” which he calls the best record he’s ever done — there will be people who will just dismiss him as that Auto-Tune guy.
It doesn’t bother him though. While it may be a blow to his ego, he soothes the slams with his ever-hearty laugh — and a glance at his checkbook.
“Say what you wanna say — I’m still rich,” he said, chuckling while sitting in his tour bus. “It’s not going to change anything.”
Indeed, nothing seems to have derailed the 27-year-old singer and producer and his hit-making magic since he made his debut with songs like “I’m Sprung” and “I’m N Luv (Wit a Stripper)” in 2005. Those songs started a platinum-chain reaction of hits, including “Buy U a Drank,” ”Can’t Believe It” and “Good Life” with Kanye West, which earned him one of his two Grammy Awards.
