Saugus man charged in Maine escort service extortion case
ORTLAND, Maine — The owner of a Windham escort service has been charged with trying to extort money from a longtime client, according to federal court documents.
Nicholas Enfanto of Saugus, Mass., was arrested May 4 and charged with sending threatening interstate text messages to extort money from the client, identified in court documents as “J.D.” from Falmouth.
According to an FBI affidavit filed in federal court in Portland, J.D. had been a client of Enfanto’s Perfect Pleasure Escort Service, based in Windham, for at least eight years. J.D. told officials that he never paid the escorts directly, but mailed payments to Enfanto in Massachusetts.
In February, Enfanto sent J.D. text messages, accusing him of contacting escorts directly without going through Enfanto, the affidavit said. Enfanto claimed that J.D. owed him $100,000 for lost business and allegedly threatened J.D., saying at one point that he would shoot J.D. if he didn’t pay, the court documents said.

James came to Boston at once, found Mary working in a house of ill repute on North Margin Street and returned home without her. She moved from brothel to brothel and eventually met Tirrell, a wealthy and married father of two. He and Mary traveled together as man and wife, changing their names whenever they moved, and conducted a relationship as volatile as it was passionate; Mary once confided to a fellow boarder that she enjoyed quarreling with Tirrell because they had “such a good time making up.”

Boston Escorts: Singer embraces challenge of her ‘La Traviata’ role

bostonharlot — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:25:03 +0000

From happiness, to sacrifice and tragedy, the doomed consumptive courtesan Violettas journey in Verdis opera La Traviata is drama on a high scale.
…
In La Traviata, Violetta is a 19th-century courtesan whose world is rocked when she experiences true love after being befriended by the headstrong Alfredo. Their initially blissful relationship is cut short by Violetta after Alfredos father, Giorgio, pleads to her for the sake of family propriety. Alfredo doesnt understand and jealousies and misunderstandings abound. Can there be a reconciliation? Violettas most famous aria is Addio del passato (Farewell then forever).
To really underscore the feeling, the opera is based on a real story. Marie Duplessis was a courtesan who died in 1847 of consumption at the age of 23. She had several lovers despite her youth, including Franz Liszt and Alexandre Dumas, fils, son of the great novelist Alexandre Dumas. Dumas junior wrote a novel, The Lady of the Camellia, where the heroine is a thinly disguised Duplessis. The novel was adapted into a successful play, which Verdi saw, loved, and wanted to stage into an opera.

Boston Escorts: City Moves Forward with Massage Licensing Ordinance

bostonharlot — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:36:59 +0000

In an attempt to crackdown on alleged prostitution, the city is moving forward with crafting an ordinance to bring the licensing of massage parlors under its control.
The city council approved a resolution presented by council president Robert Maiocco last week that asks for the city to create an ordinance to bring more local control over massage parlors and spas.
Since then, City Solicitor Mark Rumley has written an ordinance that would require massage businesses to be licensed by the city and could give the city power to shut establishments for violations.
The proposed ordinance still needs to be reviewed by Police Chief Leo Sacco and Health Department director Karen Rose. Rumley presented a draft of the ordinance to the city council Tuesday night.
The state’s Consumer Affairs Division of Professional Licensure oversees licensing all massage businesses in the state. But its staff is too small and scope of responsibility is too wide, Maiocco said Tuesday.

Boston Escorts: Suffolk County DA To Deliver Commencement at Stonehill

bostonharlot — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:36:58 +0000

Conley oversees the largest and busiest district attorney’s office in Massachusetts, managing about 130 lawyers who prosecute between 40,000 to 50,000 criminal cases every year in the state’s most densely populated, demographically diverse county. Since taking office, he has made his top priorities the protection of children and other vulnerable populations, the fairness and integrity of the criminal justice system, and the adherence to the highest ethical standards by members of his staff.
Conley has prioritized child protection efforts during his time as District Attorney. A recognized leader in the campaign against human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, he helped draft last year’s landmark legislation that presumes juveniles arrested in prostitution cases to be victims in need of services, rather than criminal offenders. That legislation was modeled on a voluntary policy Conley launched six years ago, earning him high honors last year from the Boston Initiative to Advance Human Rights.
