Los Angeles Escorts: Alleged Sexual Predator On The Loose At UCLA Campus
At approximately 2:20 a.m. police say a male suspect called out to a female student climbing the steps of the area known as Saxon Trail. After a brief conversation, the man allegedly pulled the woman to the ground and sexually assaulted her.
The victim was able to escape without injury.
The suspect is described as a white male, 6 feet tall and 150 pounds, approximately 21 years old with short brown hair and blue eyes.
Campus police issued a crime alert and safety warning to students Friday.
“It’s actually kind of scary,” said one female student. “Because you think about this trail and how popular it is.”
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact UCLA campus police at (310) 825-1491.
Police urge students to avoid walking alone when possible, and to utilize escort services available on campus.

Los Angeles Escorts: Sex is no city’s business
Sex is no city’s business
Give Simi Valley Mayor Bob Huber credit.
When he sees something he believes is dangerous for Simi Valley starting to make inroads into our little hamlet, he talks tough and tries to take action.
His target du jour for the past two months? Sex.
Last December, Huber took aim at Simi Valley’s massage parlors and, more specifically, acts of prostitution that were reportedly taking place in some of the establishments. Such reports now appear accurate, with two female employees arrested as a result of an undercover sting by the Simi Valley Police Department
Perhaps emboldened by the success of that battle, Huber has now trained his eye on the porn industry.
With the City of Los Angeles’ adoption earlier this month of an ordinance requiring condom use by performers in pornographic films, there has been much speculation that the companies responsible for producing said movies will pull up stakes and look for new locales near their current San Fernando Valley stronghold in which to ply their trade.

Los Angeles Escorts: Police ask for help locating rape victims
… It appears he was targeting women in their early 20s, possibly women that were from the immigrant population or women working as prostitutes,” Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.
Capacete, a Brink’s security guard who went through the police academy and had been applying to become a police officer, was arrested Friday on suspicion of raping a 23-year-old woman on Christmas Eve. He has been charged with sodomy by means of force, oral copulation and sexual penetration by foreign object, all felonies, Bertagna said.
Detectives have been working with other law enforcement agencies and have accused Capacete of a rape that occurred Jan. 7 in Garden Grove and another that happened before August 2011 in Santa Ana.
…
Capacete pleaded guilty in 2009 to misdemeanor engaging and agreeing to engage in prostitution. He was sentenced to three years of probation and 10 days in jail and to get tested for AIDS, court records show.

Los Angeles Adult Entertainment: Henry Taylor Paints A Picture
Mr. Taylor conflates abstraction and realism in his work, giving it the feeling of bluntness (and mischief) found in someone like Alex Katz, but the way he hunts down his subjects transforms his practice into a process of earnest documentation. A number of superficial factors, however, have branded him an “outsider artist”—he’s black, he grew up poor, he paints prostitutes and drug users, he is a seriously prolific curser, he didn’t finish art school until he was in his 30s, and he didn’t get his work shown in a gallery until a decade after that, when he had a 10-year stint working as a psychiatric nurse at a California state hospital. Mr. Taylor and the people close to him admonish the label. (“Motherfuck,” he said when I mentioned “outsider.” “I say to hell with all that shit. Some Rauschenberg shit can look like outsider shit and vice versa. Fuck yeah, man.”) But he’s also an artist in demand. In addition to …

Los Angeles Strip Clubs: ‘Library After Air Raid’: On the Survival of Culture Amid the Barbarity of War
In June of 2011, I purchased a postcard reproduction of Library After Air Raid (London 1940) (depiction, following page) at Vroman’s Books in Pasadena, California, and for the duration of that year, 12 months that were as hellish and chaotic for me as the events memorialized in the anonymous photographer’s lens from 1940, that postcard was always within arm’s reach; sometimes I employed it as a book mark for books I never finished reading. When I dwelled for seven months in a roach-infested, squalid communal hotel above a seedy strip club in San Francisco’s North Beach district (formerly the infamous Barbary Coast) Library After Air Raid was Scotch-taped to the wall near my mattress.
And now, as I pen these words, the postcard hangs by a magnet on the refrigerator in the mini-kitchenette of my studio apartment in Las Vegas, Nevada. Obviously 2011 was a year of a great many migrations in my life.

Los Angeles Escorts: Local writer makes executive producing debut at festival
Kemp’s film, titled “Kelly,” was one of eight documentaries selected to be shown at this year’s festival. According to a news release, the film centers on a young, transgender prostitute who, after fleeing a provincial past, is searching for love and acceptance in Hollywood among a landscape of broken dreams.
…
According to Kemp, she came in to help Stenson organize a series of interactive photography portraits of prostitutes he was working on in November 2009. Stenson had posted a Craigslist ad calling for Hollywood prostitutes to show up and sit for the portraits — Kelly (nee Raphael Gibson) showed up for the gig and intrigued both Stenson and Kemp.
…
At the moment they met her, Kelly was making close to $160,000 a year prostituting herself on Craigslist. She agreed to take part in the project, and while filming, Stenson, Kemp and the other crew members involved witnessed a different side of her. In February 2010, she was arrested on prostitution and drug charges. The crew watched and recorded her search for love and acceptance, as well as her constant attempts to escape intolerance and pain.

Los Angeles Strip Clubs: 2 days in the Valley
For lunch (or dinner or even late-night bites), two unmissable eateries are right next to each other. Hamburger Haven is an institution a la Hunky’s: a burger joint with a devoted following. The buns are grilled on the classic “sassy cheeseburger,” and thick cut fries are must-haves; next door, Bossa Nova serves what it calls Brazilian cuisine, though its large portioned pasta dishes are the main staples with locals. Both are open well into the early morning hours, and for good reason: They are across the street from two popular gay clubs.
“Welcome to the fabulous Abbey, where the drinks are cheap and the boys are cheaper,” one local jokes. Now 20 years old, The Abbey truly is a legendary club.
Designed to conjure a cloisters, it attracts a wide range of types (including straight clubbers) caught up in its energy, shirtless bartenders and go-go boys and girls.
Next door, Here Lounge is a unique and fun spot, a sports bar where you don’t watch sports so much as fantasize about athletes. Even gay Angelenos marvel at their theme nights, like Hooker Casino on Saturdays and Stripper Circus on Wednesdays.

Los Angeles Escorts: Jose Luis Capacete, Wannabe Cop and Alleged Serial Rapist, Tied to at Least 3 …
A 24-year-old woman who left a party to go to the store was walking along the 300 block of South Harbor Boulevard about 6 a.m. when she was grabbed by her hair from behind and forced into a van. She was driven to the parking lot behind a business in the 1600 block of North Harbor, where a man showed her a handgun and Taser, undressed her, bound her and raped her.
The man later pushed her, naked, out of the van and tossed her clothing on top of her. The rapist inadvertently threw out evidence as well, according to police.
Capacete is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 9 on felony sodomy by means of force, oral copulation and sexual penetration by foreign object. In the meantime, he’s being held at Orange County Jail without bail.
Besides the latest rap, the Brink’s of Garden Grove employee might have had trouble explaining away one tidbit to interviewers for a police force. The Orange County Register reports Capacete pleaded guilty in 2009 to misdemeanor engaging and agreeing to engage in prostitution, which brought him 10 days in jail, three years probation and an AIDS test.

Los Angeles Escorts: Newt Gingrich put on defensive for his marital history, but does it matter to …
Clinton managed to survive politically despite several sexual indiscretions. He won the presidency in 1992 after revelations of an affair with Arkansas state employee Gennifer Flowers. He won re-election in 1996 after being sued by Paula Jones in 1994 on claims of sexual harassment while he was governor of Arkansas. And then, of course, there was the Lewinsky scandal.
But not all politicians find voters or their parties that forgiving. U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., resigned from Congress after he used Twitter to send a picture of his crotch to a woman … less than a year after he was married. Eliot Spitzer resigned in 2008 after revelations the married New York governor was involved with prostitutes. South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford admitted to an affair in 2009 and was forced to resign as chairman of the Republican Governors Association, but he finished out his term in 2011. Most recently, Herman Cain suspended his GOP presidential campaign after several women came forward with claims of sexual harassment.
