Ore. Man Charged With Sex Trafficking
By The Associated Press
POSTED: 11:08 am MDT August 20, 2010
PORTLAND, Ore. — An Oregon man has been charged with sex trafficking in Washington state and Nevada involving a 13-year-old girl.
A federal grand jury in Portland indicted 33-year-old Lendrick Lee Thomas earlier this month on five counts of sex trafficking and transportation across state lines with the intent to engage in prostitution.
The indictment alleges that Thomas recruited, harbored, maintained and provided a minor female in reckless disregard of the fact that she was under 18 and would be caused to engage in a commercial sex act.
A conviction for sex trafficking of a minor carries a mandatory minimum 10-year sentence to a maximum of life in prison.
A federal judge on Thursday ordered Thomas to remain in custody as a flight risk and danger to the community pending trial.

Portland Massage Parlors: Voyeuristic play offers plenty to look at, not much to care about

Two female characters–Sandy and Heather, who are both hookers working out of a massage parlour–present similar obstacles to us giving a fig about them: Sandy (Megan McGeough) is sweet, but most of us would feel she settles for less; Heather (Tara Pratt) is a hottie. The third woman, Beth (Claire Lindsay) is engaged to Curt, and she’s one cold fish. So who do we care about?
After a bungled raid on the massage parlour, Curt strikes up a friendship with Sandy. Beth is furious, Curt is bewildered, and Doug and Heather hook up.
Sabrina Evertt, director and artistic producer of Twenty-Something Theatre, has once again chosen a play with appeal to an audience of 20 or 30-somethings. All five of the characters are youngish and uncertain about meeting their goals–assuming they have any. This is not an uncommon state in which to find oneself–young or old.
…
Pratt, as Heather, has a couple of good drunk scenes, and it’s pretty funny when buck naked Doug flashes his badge at her in the massage parlour.

Portland Escorts: Letters: Should we allow a private casino?

Letters: Should we allow a private casino?
Published: Monday, August 30, 2010, 8:03 PM
Print publication: Tuesday, Aug. 31
Dear Oregon voters: If you are going to be naive enough to vote to guarantee a lifetime of income to a couple of guys from Lake Oswego who want to open a casino, I hope you’ll also consider my brothel. It will also create jobs, generate income for schools and deliver money to counties around the state. Except, unlike those cheapskates, I’ll give 50 percent of my profits to the state instead of a measly 25 percent. After all, I’m not actually doing anything, just like they aren’t.
However, I do like their idea of not putting their casino near where they live. They’ll dump the casino in a more run-down part of town, but I want a classier place for my customers. I was thinking that downtown Lake Oswego would be a great location.

Portland Strip Clubs: Comedy review: Margaret Cho adds maturity — and musical comedy — to stand-up …

exoticinportland — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 23:48:39 +0000

Unlike during her election-year tours, politics took a bit of a back seat, though Cho got in a few barbs about California’s Proposition 8
Her biggest riffs remained current events, body image and gay culture. Cho’s been trying to make headway at her gym in Peachtree City, Ga., she explained, the Atlanta suburb where her girl-powered Lifetime comedy “Drop Dead Diva” shoots. To the gym’s stacks of conservative Focus on Family magazines, Cho says she’s added gay reading staples The Advocate magazine and Italian Men’s Vogue.
And a huge theme was sex: procuring sex now that she’s in her 40s, as opposed to her 20s, when she said all she had to do was pretend she didn’t speak English; imagining sex during her living-assisted years; her own perils with sexting; to visiting a strip club that employs elderly strippers and serves steaks. (”What kind of wine goes with that?” she pondered.)

Portland Adult Entertainment: Criminal HIV Transmission Research Project Tops 100 Online Profiles

kingofportland — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 19:25:18 +0000

The Criminal HIV Transmission Media Research Project officially began in the fall of 2009 after it became evident that HIV related criminal activity was on the rise all over the western world and that the International STD Carrier Registry would be the perfect tool for tracking AIDS criminals on the internet. Due to the sites search engine friendly design most criminal profiles show up on the first page of Google searches for relevant searches.
The list of Criminal HIV Transmission Exposure and Arrest Records are categorized as Sex Crimes, Prostitution, Biological Terrorism, and Non-Disclosure. Sex Crimes is reserved for charges that require sex offender registration upon conviction. Prostitution involves HIV positive people selling sexual favors for money. Biological Terrorism involved the use of HIV as a biological weapon. Non-Disclosure involves everyday people who make the mistake of failing to disclose their HIV status before having sex. Recently convicted German singer Nadja Benaissa has been a member of the latter for over a year.

Portland Escorts: A Christian initiative at a Gresham apartment complex bears fruit

escortingportland — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 06:36:36 +0000

So far, as part of their grass-roots project, roughly a dozen young Christian men and women have made Barberry Village their home. Their goal: Create a sense of community in a chaotic neighborhood overrun with drugs, prostitution and gangs.
Their work mirrors, in some ways, the “new monasticism” movement, in which Christians move into urban or rural areas to work with the poor.
It’s not an easy way to live. Neighbors at Barberry Village have been suspicious. Safety is a concern. And some of these urban missionaries have burned out on a project that can be a 24-hour-a-day burden.
…
Lawlessness is fueled by a MAX line that barrels through on East Burnside, just a half-block from the apartment complex. Drug dealers and prostitutes often slip in and out of the neighborhood on the MAX, said Gresham police Sgt. Marvin Madtson, who runs a group of officers assigned to troubled neighborhoods.

Their performance was a thank you present for the group of people who had spent the last 10 days playing and singing with them, reading them stories from the Bible, and sprucing up the orphanage where they live in the town of Shimoga, India.
“It was the most precious thing I have ever seen in my whole life,” said Sherwood resident Megan Van Noy.

Proposed Portland Strip Club Met With Opposition

PORTLAND, Ore. — Some residents of Hayden Island in north Portland are fighting to stop a strip club from moving into their neighborhood.
The proposed club would be located in the building that once housed a Newport Seafood Restaurant next to Interstate 5.
Neighbors said they’ve approached the owners, written letters and gathered petitions to share their opinion. Despite the efforts, neighbors said, they were told the owners continue negotiating with a person who wants to open the strip club.
Roger Staver, president of the neighborhood association, said people living nearby believe a strip club would decrease property value and boost crime.
“It offers the opportunity for criminal activity, for drug activity and for the kinds of things we dont want to see going on the island,” Staver said.

PORTLAND, Ore. – Strip clubs get health inspections too, if they serve food. This week’s Restaurant Report Card takes us to a well-known club in Portland to see how it rates with the health department.
This place has gotten a low score in the past, and the latest big inspection shows – once again – a list of violations.
The Acropolis has a reputation for its steak. Customers say it is cheap … and tasty.
However, the latest score for this strip club is 75 out of a possible 100, making its score just 6 points shy of failing given that below 70 is a failing score. The inspector found raw steak in the temperature danger zone and dried blood on the scale – among other problems.
