AAN Papers Used to Solicit Business for Prostitutes

On Monday, a federal grand jury returned an 18-count indictment accusing three individuals -- including a woman named Ho -- of operating brothels in the Denver area. Court documents suggest the defendants drummed up business by purchasing ads in Westword. Several hundred miles east in Indianapolis, a woman was arrested this week on prostitution charges after an undercover officer responded to her ad in Nuvo that said, "For An Afternoon So Sweet to Treat, Call Candy." And last month in the nation's capital, the feds seized the assets of a woman accused of running a prostitution ring. According to court documents, the alleged madam spread her ad dollars among several local media outlets, including the Washington City Paper.

Madison Apologizes to Rape Victim Profiled in Lueders' Booknew

Isthmus News Editor Bill Lueders first chronicled Patty's ordeal in 1998, a year after the visually impaired woman was charged with falsely reporting a rape. Prosecutors eventually dropped the charges, and in 2001 a suspect was charged with her sexual assault. Now the Madison City Council has voted to make an official apology to Patty, to pay her $35,000 in reparations, and to review police department policy on dealing with victims of sexual assault. According to The Capital Times, the apology resolution was "inspired" by the recent publication of Lueders book, Cry Rape, an "engrossing tale" based on his original investigation of the case.

Movie Penned by The Stranger's Mudede Picked Up by Distributornew

Associate Editor Charles Mudede, who already has one film to his credit, wrote "Zoo," a feature-length documentary about, ahem, bestiality. Mudede tells the Seattle Times that he became fascinated by the notion that sex with animals was legal in the state of Washington until news reports circulated last year about a man who died from a ruptured colon after having sex with a horse. "Zoo" was bought by THINKFilm and is scheduled to premier at the Sundance Film Festival in January.
