  • Green River Killer May Have Killed 80 People

    The infamous truck driver from Seattle who is known as the brutal Green River Killer has claimed he was responsible for taking even more human lives than was initially reported. He originally pled guilty to killing forty-nine women; however, he has recently said that the number is closer to eighty women. The murder streak took place over two decades where the killer, Gary Ridgway, explained his reasoning as wanting to target prostitutes.

    “The plan was I wanted to kill as many women as I thought were prostitutes as I possibly could.” Gary Ridgway said before continuing, “I thought I could kill as many of them as I wanted without getting caught.”

    His past wicked deeds are concealed behind a placid, calm demeanor. According to Charlie Harger, the reporter who recently interviewed Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer on surface encounter appears to be a person one would expect to be a good neighbor and not someone capable of the magnitude of such a high number of heinous murders. “The strange thing about Gary Ridgway is if you didn’t know the depravity, if you didn’t know the evil that this man committed, you would have no clue when you talked on the phone with him. This man sounds like he would be a perfect neighbor,” Charlie Harger said.

    The image of a perfect neighbor is deceiving. The mass murderer is presently in the midst of completing his time for forty-nine consecutive life sentences in a state penitentiary within Washington since his 2001 arrest. In 2003, Gary Ridgway confessed to killing forty-eight of the women in order to avoid the death penalty. After been one of the main suspects prior to his arrest, the advancements in DNA testing proved paramount in finalizing the charges. After all of these years, Ridgway has recently proclaimed that he is a changed man who has found God.

    If the notorious killer is actually a changed man, does he deserve a second chance at life outside bars? Charlie Harger thinks there is more going on behind the veneer of a calm neighbor when speaking of Gary Ridgway.

    “Gary Ridgway is absolutely playing me. He’s playing everybody when he talks. I don’t think Gary Ridgway can even comprehend the truth. I think he wants to show the world that, ‘Here I am, Gary Ridgway, the truck painter from Kenworth, the guy who everybody thought was slow since elementary school, somebody who couldn’t hold a candle to Ted Bundy. But, here I am, and I’m the best at something,’” Charlie Harger said.

  • Minnesota Cheerleader Charged For Pimping Fellow Student

    A Minnesota high school cheerleader now faces sex trafficking charges after allegedly playing madam for a younger student.

    According to an Associated Press report, 18-year-old Montia Marie Parker of Maple Grove, Minnesota has been charged with sex trafficking and promoting prostitution. The girl is accused of driving a 16-year-old fellow student to Johns’ houses for oral sex, and is alleged to have received at least $60 from the younger girl.

    Parker allegedly posted the younger girl’s pictures to an ad in Backpage.com, a Craigslist-type site well-known for the posting of sex worker ads. Parker is also accused of posing as the younger student’s mother to remove her from school to visit a John.

    Parker was caught when the younger girl’s mother went through her daughter’s cell phone, after hearing about the girls unexcused absence at school. According to the school district, Parker has been “permanently removed” from the high school. She is scheduled to face her charges in court on June 12.

  • James Lipton Says He Was a Pimp in France

    James Lipton Says He Was a Pimp in France

    James Lipton is best known for hosting the TV show Inside the Actors Studio, in which he conducts serious interviews with big-name Hollywood actors and actresses. It turns out, however, that the 86-year-old Lipton has a much more interesting past that involves French bordellos.

    In an interview this week with Parade, Lipton confirmed that he was a pimp in Paris during the 50s. He stated that he befriended a prostitute in the city, who arranged the job for him after he ran out of money. Lipton said that he represented an entire bordello of women, taking a cut of the revenue.

    Lipton emphasized that he believes the women, who were desperate for money just after World War II, were not exploited. He stated that his efforts were “completely regulated” and that the girls received medical inspections on a weekly basis.

    “The great bordellos were still flourishing in those days before the sheriff of Paris, a woman, closed them down,” said Lipton. “It was a different time.”

    Lipton called the experience “a great year” of his life. He also stated that he doesn’t think people should buy sex, and that if someone can’t “earn it” on their own, they don’t deserve it.

    Lipton also mentioned his role in the comedy series Arrested Development during the interview. He has reprised his role as Warden Gentles in the Netflix-produced fourth season of the show, which was released this weekend.

  • LinkedIn: Prostitutes, Peddle Your Wares Somewhere Else

    LinkedIn: Prostitutes, Peddle Your Wares Somewhere Else

    LinkedIn has recently updated their terms of use policies to make it clear that they don’t want prostitutes advertising their “skills” on the social networking site.

    LinkedIn, which boasts over 225 million users, has become a huge source for employers and those looking to boost their careers in the past few years. Networking used to consist of mixers and business cards; now, the site makes it easier than ever to find the right job or hire. Naturally, prostitutes want in on it.

    The company has made it explicitly clear that they don’t want their site to be used for illegal activity and revised their policy to read: “Users must not create profiles or provide content that promotes escort services or prostitution”. That includes anyone living in a state where prostitution is legal (we’re looking at you, Nevada). The full revision reads that no one may:

    Upload, post, email, InMail, transmit or otherwise make available or initiate any content that, even if it is legal where you are located, create profiles or provide content that promotes escort services or prostitution.

    The company made the changes after realizing that people were being endorsed for prostitution on the site and getting away with it because of the way their terms of use was worded.

    “In the old [user agreement], we had it covered by saying that one could not use a profile to promote anything ‘unlawful,’” a LinkedIn rep told Mashable. “However, in some countries, that activity actually is lawful.”

    There were several users promoting their services on the site as of this week; take a look here to see a few.

  • Secret Service Scandal: Criminal Charges Will Not Be Filed

    The Secret Service scandal in Colombia earlier this year exposed a history of misconduct on behalf of the President’s personal protection force, which, as once can imagine, does not reflect well on the country or it’s military. Although seven Army soldiers and two Marines have received administrative punishment for their contributions to the incident, none of them will face criminal charges for their actions. Additionally, one member of the Air Force was also punished as a result of the scandal, while two Navy sailors are currently awaiting their fate.

    These individuals were assigned to support the Secret Service during President Obama’s trip to Cartagena, where he was to appear at a Latin American summit. Before the President’s scheduled arrival, several men partook in the some questionable activity, which, apparently, has happened more than once in the past. However, when one of the agents got into a dispute over money with a hooker, the whole sordid affair quickly came to light.

    As a result, over a dozen Secret Service officers, including several agents and supervisors, were implicated in the ensuing scandal. Following an investigation into the matter, eight individuals lost their jobs, while three were cleared of any wrongdoings. According to Fox News, a few former employees are currently attempting to get their jobs back.

    The U.S. military rarely discloses details of administrative punishments. Officials spoke to the news organization in the condition of anonymity since results of this investigation have not been made public. Congress is expected to speak with military officials regarding the scandal shortly.
