Man Hires Prostitute for His Son

A 42-year-old man, a native of Poland, living in Britain, decided it was time for his 14-year-old virgin son to have sex. So he took him out to look for a prostitute. He was arrested during an undercover operation by the city's vice squad. His case was heard before Nottingham Crown Court Judge Jonathan Teare.

In court the man admitted trying to solicit a woman to have sex with a child.

According to Prosecutor Adrian Harris, the man drove his son around the red light district of Nottingham looking for a suitable candidate. They eventually found someone:

"The boy said that they had driven past the girl and his dad pointed to her and said 'will she do?"' Harris said. "He said 'yes' and they had turned round.

Little did they know at the time that they had picked out an undercover police officer named "Sarah". The man pulled up to "Sarah" and asked her how much it would cost for her to have sex with his son. They settled on a price of $30. That was when plainclothes police officers moved in and arrested him.

In court Judge Jonathan Teare was told the unidentified man who lives in Bulwell, Nottingham, had come to Britain 8 years ago with his son after his wife had died. He re-married but his second wife suffers from schizophrenia. The son told the court that his Dad was trying to "take care of  him" because he was still a virgin.

Judge Jonathan Teare said he would spare the father jail because of his excellent character and that he believed he did not mean any harm to his son.

"What you were doing that night was to expose your 14-year-old son to a prostitute because you didn't know she was a police officer.

"You have a duty of care to your son and that is to look after his moral welfare not, as you might think, to break him into the ways of sex through a prostitute."

The man's lawyer, Matthew Smith, said:

"There is a thorough sense of shame the defendant feels. "It's completely at odds with every other part of his character."

The judge gave the man a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for a year and placed him on the  sex offenders register for five years.

Dymond Milburn - A Victim of Police Brutality

The night of August 22, 2006 would change the life of Dymond Milburn, 12, and her family forever. Before the night was over Dymond, an honor student attending advanced classes at Austin Middle School, would be falsely accused of being a prostitute and assaulted by 4 undercover Galveston police officers - while hanging unto a tree limb, yelling "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy" -  requiring that she be hospitalized. According to the lawsuit:

The examining physician found that Dymond suffered injuries from multiple blows to the head, face, neck, lower back, left shoulder, and left hip/waist area. She suffered a contusion to the back of the head (where she was struck with a flashlight). There were abrasions on her arm and wrist. Her throat was swollen; she had difficulty swallowing, nausea and vomiting, and hoarseness of voice due to being struck in the throat. She had black eyes, scalp lacerations, tenderness of the vertebrae. She was experiencing double vision and loss of hearing. Dymond’s ear drum and nose were also injured (blood in ear, bruised nasal septum, and nose bleed).

This 12-year-old black girl, not yet a teenager, was mistaken for a prostitute because, according to the police, she was dressed in "tight shorts". The police were investigating a report of 3 white prostitutes and a drug dealer who were supposed to be located two blocks away from where they encountered Dymond, who was in front of her parents house.

Still not content to leave the family alone, three weeks after this unfortunate event, the police showed up at Dymond's school to arrest her, in front of the entire class, for assaulting a public servant! They claim that she was arrested because she fought back against the plain-clothed police officers who were trying to arrest her in front of her own home. It didn't matter that she was innocent and they, the police officers, were at the wrong address.

It all began around 8pm when the breaker went out at the Milburn home. Dymond's mother, Emily, asked her daughter to go outside and turn the switch back on. Emily was busy preparing her kids for school the next day. So Dymond went outside to find the breaker. As she was heading towards the switch, a blue van pulled up to her and 4 undercover police officers jumped out.

Without identifying themselves as police officers one of them grabbed Dymond saying: "You're a prostitute. You're coming with me." Dymond did not go quietly. She grabbed a tree and started sceaming "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy" so loudly that she could be heard by the neighbors. The police reacted by covering her mouth and beating her about the head and throat. The officers involved were: Sergeant Gilbert Gomez, Officers David Roark, Justin Popovich and Sean Stewart.

Wilfred Milburn, Dymond’s father, was on the balcony when he heard his daughter’s cries for help and came outside. Emily Milburn also heard the cries and ran outside. When they arrived outside, Dymond was hysterical and holding on to the tree with one arm; two officers were striking Dymond in the head, face and throat. At no time did the supervising officer (Gomez) on the scene intervene and stop the illegal seizure and assault. Officer Roark hit Dymond in the back of head with a flashlight, hit her neck, throat, slapped her across the face, and told her to get off the tree.

Wilfred Milburn told the officer “that’s our daughter. She’s twelve.” The officer responded, “I don’t care if she’s twenty-two, thirty-two, or forty-six. Tell her to calm down.”

As a result of the Officers’ assault, Dymond suffered from pain in the back of the head, lower back pain, a sprained wrist with abrasions, and throat, neck and face pain. Her parents took her to the University of Texas Medical Branch for treatment. They arrived at the emergency room at 9:24 p.m. on August 22, 2006. Dymond was treated for head injuries and multiple contusions.

On Friday, September 15, 2006, at 10:00 a.m., twelve (12) year old Dymond Milburn was arrested for assaulting a public servant. The arrest took place while Dymond was at school.

This incident so traumatized Dymond that she had to seek professional help.

Since the incident, Dymond has had regular nightmares in which police officers are raping her, beating her, and cutting off her fingers. Her fear prevented her from participating in normal activities (going outside to play) which she no longer considered safe. Dymond sought psychological treatment, and on October 31, 2006, she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder due to the incident which is the subject of this lawsuit.

In the lawsuit, Dymond claims that she has also experienced: Loss of appetite, loss of normal functioning, and negative effect on school grades due to trouble concentrating in class, all associated with the beating suffered at the hands of the law enforcement officers.

The police version of the story is, of course, not quite the same. The following is a statement from the lawyer for the officers, William Helfand:

Both the daughter and the father were arrested for assaulting a peace officer. "The father basically attacked police officers as they were trying to take the daughter into custody after she ran off."

Also, "The city has investigated the matter and found that the conduct of the police officers was appropriate under the circumstances," Helfand says. "It's unfortunate that sometimes police officers have to use force against people who are using force against them. And the evidence will show that both these folks violated the law and forcefully resisted arrest."

The charge of assaulting a public servant, brought against Dymond Milburn, was taken to trial, but the judge declared it a mistrial on the first day. A new trial is set for February.

"I think we'll be okay," says Anthony Griffin, Dymond's defense lawyer. "I don't think a jury will find a 12-year-old girl guilty who's just sitting outside her house. Any 12-year-old attacked by three men and told that she's a prostitute is going to scream and yell for Daddy and hit back and do whatever she can. She's scared to death."

Griffin says he expects to enter mediation with the officers in early 2009 to resolve the lawsuit.

Two 93-Year-Olds Looking for Sex

Carlos Underhill and Frank Milio, both 93, of Manatee County, Fl. were picked up during recent undercover prostitution stings. However, Underhill will not be charged, as prosecutors decided that their case against him could not be proven.

Carlos Underhill admits to stopping to talk with the “good-looking girl” who made eyes at him. She was sitting at a bus stop "with her (breasts) hanging out” and he was planning to give her a ride. What Underhill did not know was that she was an undercover police officer. According to Underhill, when the conversation turned to sex he became confused. She mentioned $30 and this made him feel uncomfortable. In order to get out of what he called "an awkward situation" he promised to come back later to finalize the "deal". That was when he got arrested.

As if that was not bad enough, it was even more embarrassing, he said, to call his daughter from jail and ask her to pay his bond. “My daughter and I haven’t talked about it since,” he said. Prosecutors said that they were unable to move ahead with the criminal case because there was no way to prove that Underhill actually planned to come back.

Although Underhill paid a $150 fine back in 1990 when he was 75-years-old for trying to pick up a prostitute, he said this time all he was trying to do was chat with the buxom woman who smiled at him as he drove past.

“All I was going to do was talk,” he said. “It wasn’t for sex. I am 93, you know.”

Meanwhile things are not looking so good for Frank Milio also 93. Prosecutors have issued subpoenas and plan to take him to trial. According to police records, Milio tried to pay $20 to an undercover officer on 14th Street West. In his defense, Milio said that he was only flirting with the woman.

“I haven’t had that in years,” he said. “Ninety-three is kind of old.”

I may be wrong on this but this Frank Milio seems to be a member of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary who recently completed 30 years of service and was honored in a ceremony with a certificate for his achievements. He had retired from the US Army in July of 1974 and joined the Auxiliary in June of 1976. In 1994 the 80-year-old Frank Milio had completed 932 vessel safety checks. Below are pictures from his 30th anniversary with the US Coast Guard.

What makes me think that this is the same Frank Milio is the picture displayed in the article from the Herald Tribune which reported the story. Take a look and see if the picture in the newspaper does not closely resemble the Frank Milio who works for the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. My apologies if I am mistaken......but I don't think so.

Eliot Spitzer Resigns as N.Y. Governor

New York Governor, Eliot Laurence Spitzer, 48, announced his resignation, effective Monday, March 17, 2008, bringing an end to what might have been an illustrious political career. He became governor in Jan. 2007 after winning an impressive 69% of the popular vote. He previously held the post of New York State Attorney General, to which he was elected in 1998. It was in this capacity that he earned the reputation of being tough on white collar crime. He was the nemesis of Wall Street, prosecuting securities and internet fraud, investment banking stock price manipulation, a mutual fund scandal and even took on Richard Grasso, the then-chairman of the New York Stock Exchange over his $140 million compensation pay package. He earned the nicknames Sheriff of Wall Street, Mr. Clean, "Eliot Ness" Spitzer among others for his efforts to root out corruption.

His short term as governor was marred by political battles with Republican State Senate majority leader Joseph L. Bruno and others. He also proposed two controversial bills: 1. The legalization of same sex marriage in New York and 2. Allowing illegal aliens to obtain driving licenses.

Eliot Spitzer was forced to resign over allegations that he was involved with a prostitute and a prostitution ring called the Emperor's Club. He was caught on FBI wiretaps, identified as "Client 9", arranging and paying for the services of "Kristen" who was later identified as Ashley Alexandra Dupre a 22-year-old aspiring musician. Dupre briefly spoke to the Times about the Spitzer scandal. She told the newspaper she had slept very little since the allegations against Spitzer were revealed, and she declined to comment when asked by the Times when she first met him and how many times they had been together. She told the Times she was worried about paying her rent in a ninth-floor Manhattan apartment since her boyfriend recently left her. Records show that she currently lives in Manhattan, in a luxury rental skyscraper called The Chelsea Landmark on West 25th Street. Rents there start at $3500 a month for a small studio.

In his resignation speech Spitzer said:

“Over the course of my public life, I have insisted — I believe correctly — that people regardless of their position or power take responsibility for their conduct,” he said. “I can and will ask no less of myself. For this reason, I am resigning from the office of governor.”

Eliot Spitzer will be replaced as governor by lieutenant governor David Alexander Paterson, 53, who will not only become New York's first Black governor but also New York's first legally blind governor. Previously, Mr. Paterson had served as the minority leader of the state Senate.

When he was elected Senate minority leader, Mr. Paterson recalled the discrimination he had suffered because he is disabled. “So I have had this desire my whole life to prove people wrong, to show them I could do things they didn’t think I could do,” he said. “This is just another.”

The Governor and the Prostitute

New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was identified as one the clients of a prostitution ring, the Emperors Club, under federal wiretap surveillance by the FBI. The wiretap captured a man identified as Client 9 on a telephone call confirming plans to have a woman travel from New York to Washington to meet with him in a hotel room he had reserved. Client 9 turned out to be the governor himself.

Eliot Spitzer, 48, married his wife Silda in 1987. They have three daughters: Alyssa, 18, Sarabeth, 15, and Jenna, 13. Spitzer called a news conference and made the following statement:

“I have acted in a way that violates my obligation to my family and violates my or any sense of right or wrong,” said Mr. Spitzer, who appeared with his wife Silda at his Manhattan office. “I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public to whom I promised better.”

“I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself. I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family.”

Federal authorities arrested four people on charges of running an online prostitution ring that serviced clients in New York, Paris and other cities and took in more than $1 million in profits over four years. The ring, known as the Emperor's Club V.I.P., had 50 prostitutes available for appointments in New York, Washington, Miami, London and Paris, according to a complaint unsealed in Federal District Court in Manhattan. The appointments, made by telephone or through an online booking service, cost $1,000 to $5,500 an hour and could be paid for with cash, credit card, wire transfers or money orders, the complaint said.

Although Spitzer as not been charged with any crime, his political career is in shambles. There have been calls for his resignation.

"He has to step down. No one will stand with him," said Rep. Peter King, a Republican congressman from Long Island. "I never try to take advantage or gloat over a personal tragedy. However, this is different. This is a guy who is so self-righteous, and so unforgiving."

“The governor who was going to bring ethics back to New York State, if he was involved in something like this,” James Tedisco, a Republican Assemblyman from Schenectady who has clashed loudly and publicly with Mr. Spitzer said, “he’s got to leave. I don’t think there’s any question about that.”

Democratic Assemblyman John McEneny said: "I don't think anyone remembers anything like this — the fact that the governor has a reputation as a reformer and there is a certain assumption as attorney general that you're Caesar's wife. It's a different element than if you were an accountant."

Spitzer, himself, has not said whether he will resign or not. If he does Democratic Lt. Gov. David Paterson would become New York's first black governor. Carl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond, noted that prostitution customers are often not charged, and said charges against Spitzer might be unlikely. "Especially if he resigns, he may just be left alone. It may be that the public is satisfied by his resignation as governor," Tobias said.

According to wiretaps "Client 9" arranged to meet with a prostitute who was part of the ring, Emperors Club VIP, on the night of Feb. 13th in room 871 at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel in Washington. That room was registered to a George Fox. Mr. Fox is a friend and donor to Mr. Spitzer. Asked in a telephone interview Monday whether he accompanied Mr. Spitzer to Washington on Feb. 13 and Feb. 14, Mr. Fox responded: "Why would you think that? I did not.”

Told that the Room 871 at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel was registered in Mr. Fox’s name but with Mr. Spitzer’s Fifth Avenue address, Mr. Fox said, "That is the first I have heard of it. Until I speak to the governor further, I have no comment."

Spitzer paid $4,300 in cash, some of it credit for future trysts, some of it for sex with a "petite, pretty brunette, 5-feet-5 inches, and 105 pounds," named Kristen.

According to court papers, an Emperors Club agent, Temeka Rachelle Lewis, was told by the prostitute that her evening with Client 9 went well. The agent said she had been told that the client "would ask you to do things that ... you might not think were safe ... very basic things," according to the papers, but Kristen responded by saying: "I have a way of dealing with that ... I'd be, like, listen dude, you really want the sex?"
