Gold Gone ... Green Great!
Gold was closed yesterday (as noted below), but Today, the sign says "closed for renovtation" or some such.
Yesterday, 1333, 4th floor was very much open, and Michelle was nicer than normal. (An aside: Where have all the spinners gone?) After asking for "small girl" in walks Michelle. Nice enough, mid 30's, all natural B's, with a pooch for a tummy. Session was OK with standard DC touches, good massagee, fair TS, with the rest of the alphabet performed in satisfactory manner. No K9 (she was too tall for me), and Mish was ok only with a pillow placed under.
Today, 1333, 1st floor was great. (The red Door) Saw Misha, skinny, mid 30s, small top, but 5'5, crooked teeth, but nothing a dentist couldn't fix for 10K or so. Very enthusiastic, and for the gentleman below asking if BBBJ was the norm there, evidently it is with this lady. Cover placed afterward and a wild ride for CG ensued. When done, we were both sweating like hogs, and she had to get a fresh wet towel to cool us down. Nice ride and nice time. Will be back.
TWFTT (sort of) Argentina/Brazil
Saw an add in City Paper for Brazilian/Argentina. They were close to DuPont circle station, so I thought I'd go for the lunch try. .75/hr. So when I get off the elevator on the 6th floor, I realize it's more of an office type set up. Hmmm - I thought about bolting, but I like massage anyway. I go in, and it's combined with a makeup place, with glass windows just like a Dr's office.
So anyway, a rather short, dark haired gal (Argentina, or central America...?) takes my money and has me get undressed and cover with a towel. She actually looked quite nice, but was dressed in nurses scrubs. Anyway, the massage table was professional, the room was warm, the music was nice, and the massage was absolutely first rate. She massaged pretty much most places, but I didn't get a warm and fuzzy that anything else is available. I should have asked, but I may if I go back. (given the quality of the massage, I probably will).
Anyone else been there? I also saw a short blonde in similar dress.

[b]14K[/b]
Two individuals were charged, but only one was arrested. The individual entered a plea of not guilty and was later found guilty by a jury. Sentence is expected to be as long as 5 years, and stiffer than for those who entered a guilty plea.
[b]Downtown[/b]
Of the three individuals charged, two were arrested. One individual was sentenced for 5 months (not a typo) and has already finished her sentence. No reason could be discerned for the short sentence. The second individual will be sentenced next month.
[b]OK Spa[/b]
One individual was charged and arrested. She entered a not guilty plea and was later found guilty by a jury. Sentence is expected to be as long as 5 years, and stiffer than for those who entered a guilty plea.

Two individuals were charged and arrested. One individual was sentenced to no prison time with the understanding that she would be deported immediately. The other individual entered a not guilty plea and was later found guilty by a jury. Sentence is expected to be as long as 5 years, and stiffer than for those who entered a guilty plea.
[b]Royal Spa[/b]
The individual charged was never arrested.
[b]Sun VIP[/b]
One individual was charged, and though she entered a not guilty plea, matters concerning this individual are confusing as records do not indicate that she was a defendant in the trial by jury, and the verdict did not directly apply to her. However, a request was made by her attorney that the results of the trial be applied to her. Records show that she agreed to forfeit property in New York to the United States of America [b][I]after[/I][/b] she entered a not guilty plea but [b][I]before[/I][/b] any trial took place. She has yet to be sentenced.
[b]Moonlight[/b]
Two individuals were charged and arrested and received sentences of 15 months and 18 months.
[b]Sensual Intentions / Magickkal[/b]
One individual was charged and received a shorter sentence of 12 months by agreeing to partake in drug rehabilitation and assisting local police in capturing her husband. Her husband had attempted to avoid parole retake by fleeing to New York after charges were filed against him for identity theft and offenses related to prostitution. Her husband had been serving parole for past convictions including first-degree rape, third-degree rape, and kidnapping.
Public access is all wrong
There were five that went to tial not six. All five were found guilty by a jury. But the judge was very unhappy with the feds case because they tried to distort the facts. At the end of the trial, the judge said he was not going to sentence these five like the ones who had plead guilty, meaning it would be less than 10 months. (the average sentence was 10 months for those who plead guilty.)
If you caught the Sunday article in the post a few months back it was very interesting about the whole human traffic issue. These non profits like the Polaris Group were suppling the feds with info based on info from the internet They were being given huge grants and all they did was surf the net looking for bogus info on human trafficing.
The prosecution looked really stupid because they actually believed these girls were being forced to work. Everyone of them said they could leave anytime they wanted.
The ironic part was that this all occured in the manhattan district of NY.
Now the korean spa girls feel safest doing their work in manhattan and the stupid prosecution thinks they cleaned it up. If you take a look at Eros the korean/asian thread you can see that that is where all the hottties have gone.
It is a train ride away if you are interested.

Black Wednesday Sentencing
P.A.:
Thanks for that update. I think many of us believed that the charges would be dropped, but not so, I guess and some pretty stiff (no pun intended) sentences. Wow! All-in-all, not many were arrested. I wonder if some were just hauled in and deported, or did some of the girls at the places that were raided just get released?
