Philadelphia Adult Entertainment: Deptford man offered teens money for sex, court told
November 23, 2009
Bonaventure, a certified public accountant and father of three, said nothing during the short hearing. Defense attorney Vincent Campo had asked the judge for full-cash bail at a lower amount.
Bonaventure’s parents Ð his mother was in court Friday morning Ð were willing to make the cash payment, but were looking to get something less than the $100,000. Campo said he would voluntarily give up the option of his client’s going to a bondsman.
His client is not a flight risk, said Campo, indicating that Bonaventure does not have a passport.
“We intend to vigorously defend these charges,” the attorney said in court.
Bonaventure is charged with sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child, luring, and soliciting prostitution of a minor. He could face 10 years in prison if convicted of the most serious charge.

LSB: Before I was a reporter, I was just an office manager. I swear I was sweeping the floors and I remember Beverly calling, “Oh Brockway. We have an assignment for you!” She sent me over to Episode 2, the brothel on Remsen Street, to see if I could get an interview with the prostitutes who were busted that week. They were back at work, so I said OK. I went and it looked like my dentist’s office, except the woman behind the door was wearing hot pants. I said “I’m Laurie Brockway and I’m here to get your side of the story. Can I just talk to the prostitutes that were busted?” So she says, “No.” And she goes and gets the madam. I think they let me in because they thought I was looking for a job. I said, “I’m here, I’m on your side, I just want to talk to the three women, really, we’re on your side.” And the …
Philadelphia Adult Entertainment: Princeton Prof Reports Bogus Infringement Notices
November 23, 2009
Last year, computer scientists at the University of Washington who were studying peer-to-peer networks reported that they received more than 400 bogus takedown notices in two months.
Their paper, subtitled “Why My Printer Received a DMCA Takedown Notice,” concluded that nearly all Web users risk receiving notices alleging copyright infringement for reasons ranging from “buggy software” to deliberate efforts to frame innocent users.
Now, Mike Freedman, an assistant professor of computer science at Princeton, reports that a research system he runs, CoralCDN, recently received around 100 letters alleging copyright infringement.
Freedman says that the infringement allegations were “demonstrably false,” because the IP addresses referenced in the letters weren’t running BitTorrent clients.
What’s worse, the letters, sent by a group called the Video Protection Alliance (which represents adult entertainment companies), didn’t simply request that the infringement cease, but also demanded that the guilty parties pay a “pre-settlement” fee or face litigation.

Court upholds license revocation of Cheerleaders Gentlemen’s Club in Gloucester City
November 20, 2009, 12:09PM
GLOUCESTER CITY — A state Appellate Court panel has upheld the revocation of the liquor license for the Cheerleaders Gentlemen’s Club on U.S. Route 130 for its role in a fatal motor vehicle collision involving a drunken patron nearly a decade ago.
The panel is giving Mag Entertainment LLC 90 days “so as to permit orderly closure.” Mag Entertainment also has six months to divest itself of any interests in other liquor licenses issued in New Jersey.
Mag had challenged a December 2008 order by the state Division of Alcohol Beverage Control revoking its license based on an April 2000 motor vehicle accident involving Humberto Herrera-Salas, then a resident of Woodbury. A Cheerleaders bartender served Herrera-Salas while he “was visible intoxicated and ejected him from the bar without taking steps to ensure that he did not drive,” the appellate panel noted in its ruling.

Court revokes license of Cheerleaders Gentlemen’s Club in Gloucester City

November 20, 2009
GLOUCESTER CITY — An appeals court on Thursday ordered the liquor license revoked at Cheerleaders Gentleman’s Club due to the bar’s role in a fatal traffic accident caused by a drunken patron.
The ruling came after the club’s owner, MAG Entertainment LLC, challenged an offer by the state Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, which has sought since December 2007 to take the license from the club on Route 130 in Gloucester City.
The ABC’s offer, made late last year, would have allowed MAG to sell the license to avoid revocation. But the division demanded 90 percent of the sale price, and it wanted MAG to pay an additional $618,000.
The ABC targeted the license due to an April 2000 incident, when a Cheerleaders bartender served a “visibly intoxicated” patron, then ejected him from the bar “without taking steps to ensure that he did not drive,” Thursday’s decision noted.

GLOUCESTER CITY — An appeals court revoked the liquor license at a Gloucester County gentleman’s club because of its role in a fatal car accident involving a drunken drive, a report in the Daily Record said.
The Cheerleaders’ Gentleman’s Club in Gloucester City has been targeted since an April 2000 incident when a bartender served a visibly drunk person and threw him out of the bar without making sure he did not drive, according to the report. The man, Humberto Herrera-Salas of Woodbury, then drove on the wrong side of the highway and hit an oncoming van, killing Robert Reed, 42, of Gloucester City, and his wife, Patricia, 40, the report said.

Was suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba operative David Headley recruiting women for the terror outfit? Or was he surrounded by women so that he could camouflage himself?
Investigators have found that Headley was always accompanied by women during his journeys across India and hotel stays. Security agencies are now busy unraveling why.
Sleuths of the National Investigation Agency have gone to every hotel that Headley stayed in and grilled the staff. Everywhere, the investigators were given a different description of the woman accompanying him.
It appears that Headley was moving around with a new woman in every city to avoid drawing attention. The question is: where did the women disappear? Were they Lashkar recruits or were they simply used by him without knowing his identity and motive?
NIA sleuths are also questioning the operators of two escort service agencies in Mumbai whose numbers were found on Headley’s mobile phone.

Rape suspect arrested; 2nd man sought in 4 sex attacks in Kensington
By REGINA MEDINA Philadelphia Daily News
Kevin Maxwell was a creature of habit in his alleged crime spree against Kensington prostitutes.
He purportedly picked them up, sometimes at gunpoint, from his navy-blue Toyota pickup truck as he cruised along Kensington Avenue, police said.
Then he’d usually take the women to the Greenwood Cemetery, on Adams Avenue near Castor, where he’d rape them, said investigators with the police Special Victims Unit.
In all cases, Maxwell took photos of the victims during the sexual assault.
Maxwell, 25, of Woodhaven Avenue near Academy Road, was arrested Tuesday night and charged with four counts of sexual assault and related offenses.
Three of the victims never reported their assaults until investigators learned of the attacks and approached them, said Capt. John Darby, head of SVU.
