I agree. Being with a minor is a risk I don't want to take. Plus. I can justify being with an adult who is in the hobby of her own volition. I would not want to be a part of a minor being forced into the trade.

There is enough risk in the hobby as it is. I feel just sticking to well known providers. Like I have been doing recently. Might be the way to go.

i wonder if we need to do something drastic to keep put of the this seriously unsavory side of the hobby. what should we do if we come across **** providers?

you can tell by how they look and how they act. also skin is a big clue.

Wow that is some crazy shit!

I searched Shalanda Lock and found that this little babe has been running a state subsidized day care? She's received hundreds of thousands of $ even after she was charged with prostitution. And the day care wasn't shut down until some smart reporter started snooping and asking questions.

And now she protects her money grubbing pimp. LOL. What a peach!

Shalanda Lock testifies she was told to lie about spouse

By John Diedrich of the Journal Sentinel

Sept. 16, 2010 |(38) Comments

Michael Lock's wife clashed with a prosecutor Thursday, testifying that her husband didn't know she and other women working for him were prostitutes - and possibly exposing herself to perjury charges.

Shalanda Lock's testimony in Milwaukee County Circuit Court contradicted what she told Assistant District Attorney Kurt Benkley and investigators in March when she said her husband ran a prostitution ring across the Midwest over five years, according to a video recording of that meeting.

Shalanda Lock accused Benkley of telling her to lie in her testimony about her husband and suggested her attorney had improperly coached her on how to testify.

After Shalanda Lock testified, her attorney, Robert LeBell, was summoned to court. He withdrew from representing Shalanda Lock and she was appointed a new lawyer. Afterward, Benkley said he was unable to comment on Shalanda Lock's testimony.

The drama played out in the third day of testimony in the prostitution trial of Michael Lock, who ran a multifaceted criminal organization in Milwaukee for over a decade, according to his homicide, kidnapping, drug-dealing and mortgage fraud convictions.

Shalanda Lock repeatedly said on the witness stand that her husband did not know she and other women were selling sex. After each answer, Benkley played video where she had answered differently.

"Was there a ventriloquist in the room or was that you answering? Yes or no?" Benkley said.

She shot back, "You told me to say that. I talked to you on the phone and you told me to use certain words and I taped you."

Then she tried to ask Judge Jeffrey Conen a question. The judge ordered her to answer questions, not ask them.

No tape of Shalanda Lock talking to Benkley ever materialized.

Conen later recused himself from sentencing Shalanda Lock, saying doing so would remove any hint of impropriety in the case.

Known by the stage name of "Pleasure," Shalanda Lock admitted she worked as a stripper and prostitute from 1998 to 2003, traveling to clubs in rural Wisconsin and several other states, but said that Michael Lock - then her boyfriend - just thought she was a stripper. She said she took in more than $100,000 during that time.

Michael Lock's attorney, Russell Jones, has argued that his client was not a pimp but a strip club booking agent.

On friendly cross-examination by Jones, Shalanda Lock said she lied in her initial statement because she was scared about prison. Under the original charges, she faced life in prison. Under the plea bargain, she can get no more than 18 months.

"It was demanded otherwise I would do all this time," Shalanda Lock, 37, said, as she wiped away tears.

Milwaukee police officer Dean Newport later testified that he was present for each of Benkley's interviews with Shalanda and said she was never threatened or told to lie.

Shalanda Lock's mother, Cassandra Randle, testified that she confronted Michael Lock years ago and told him to stop prostituting her daughter.

"He told me to mind my own (expletive) business," she said. "He told me Shalanda was his - mind, body and soul."

Shalanda Lock's brother, Ed Hankins, testified that he saw how Michael Lock ran the prostitution operation. After being "groomed" by Michael Lock, Hankins said, he started pimping his own wife.

Earlier in the trial, three women testified that they worked as prostitutes under the direction of Michael Lock. The jury also heard Lock himself talking about selling sex in recorded jail calls.

This is Michael Lock's third trial. He was earlier convicted of selling drugs and kidnapping, torturing and sometimes killing rival dealers and burying them under concrete. Separately, he was convicted of mortgage fraud. He has been sentenced to life in prison. He is appealing those convictions.

For over a decade, Lock eluded authorities, acting at times as an informant as he continued to expand his illicit enterprises, which was documented in a 2009 Journal Sentinel series, "The Preacher's Mob."

Lock told the judge late Thursday that he would not testify. Closing arguments are expected Friday morning with deliberations to follow.
