San Jose Escorts: Stanford law grad turned call girl sentenced

… 09-28) 21:24 PDT SAN JOSE, CALIF. –
A Stanford Law School graduate formerly married to the co-founder of Ask.com was sentenced Monday to home detention for tax evasion after being accused of running an escort service to help pay her bills and student loans.
Cristina Warthen, 36, maintained a Web site called Touchofbrazil.net, on which she advertised her services as “Brazil” and posted erotic pictures of herself, federal prosecutors said. At a hearing Monday in U.S. District Court in San Jose, Judge James Ware ordered Warthen to serve a year in home detention with electronic monitoring. She is to pay the government $243,000 in back taxes, fines and restitution. “I think that the entire prosecution was ill-advised and selective in that she was targeted because of her activities more so than the tax aspect,” said her attorney, Brian Getz. Beginning in 2001, Warthen “engaged in sexual acts in return for money” grossing $133,717 in 2003 and failing to pay $25,424, in taxes, authorities said. Inves …

San Jose Strip Clubs: Theater review: ‘The Full Monty’ at Broadway by the Bay

Still, “The Full Monty” gets right down to business. At ladies night in a Buffalo, N.Y., strip club, a very talented beefcake stripper hops up on stage, shows lots of g-string butt, and gets the women hollering.

Stephen Baumann, who has a very nice butt, gets the ladies hot as professional male stripper Keno, in the show’s opening scenes.

Michael Cassidy shows off smooth moves as that husband, with a flare for ballroom dancing, who becomes the guy reluctantly willing to choreograph the clumsy steel workers into some stripper dance routines.
After “The Full Monty’s” exhilarating first act, it slows down in the second act to breathe and focus emotionally, then loses momentum, wavers and has trouble restarting the wild ride. Some of this is due to the script, which repeats stripper rehearsal and child support sub-stories without offering new information.

San Jose Escorts: OPERA REVIEW: OSJ opens season with the melodic wonders of …

The oldest opera argument tries to decide whether words or musical notes are the most important. In the case of the marvelous musical score of “Manon,” Jules Massenet’s masterpiece, there is no contest. It is the consummate genius of the composer, which carries the saga forward from the brief overture, through the rising expectations of the first act’s lurching coach and horses all the way to the death of the heroine.
France’s great 19th Century musical giant’s most popular of his 36 operas, “Manon” brings together a treasure chest of magical arias, duets, chorus work and orchestral interludes.
Opera San Jose’s two well-balanced casts of resident artists have brought to life a tragic story of a young woman who loses her moral moorings in the dissolute French society of the late 1700s.
It is centered in a Paris that is a cesspool of prostitution, drink and gambling coupled with the excessive wealth and fabulous homes of post-Louis 14th era. Manon is a young woman caught in this duality, which corrupts her first innocent love and too late is victim to her terrible choices.

San Jose Escorts: Mountain View hires Denver cop fired in sex case

A former Denver police officer who was fired after he admitted to Internal Affairs investigators that he had sex with a woman he thought was a prostitute in a Taco Bell bathroom has landed another law-enforcement job.
Randy Hurst is now working as an officer with the Mountain View Police Department, state records confirm.
Hurst was fired from the Denver Police Department in January 2008 after authorities confirmed that he had sex with the woman while on duty and in uniform in a public place.

People familiar with the firing in Denver said Hurst admitted to investigators that he thought the woman was a prostitute but said he had consensual sex with her.
The woman claimed that Hurst raped her, but investigators declined to prosecute her claim because of discrepancies in some of her statements. She denied that she was a prostitute.
