This article appeared in a newspaper in Wilmington, Delaware. Makes me wish
|
|
I read the paper more often. Anyway ... first I'll include the article by
|
|
itself, copied totally without permission :-) , then I'll show it a second
|
|
time in this post, interlaced with my comments in brackets.

NEWARK - A couple has been charged with running a prostitution service in
|
|
which customers could pay to have sex with them or to watch them have sex
|
|
with dogs.
|
|
The operation came to authorities' attention Jan. 4, when the couple's
|
|
16-year-old baby sitter flagged down a county patrol officer and told her
|
|
about videotapes and photographs she had been shown, county police said
|
|
Friday.
|
|
Officers Kathy Rego and Joseph Fitzgerlad investigated and this week
|
|
arrested Linnea Houghtling, 28, and John D. Larson, 32, both of the 1200
|
|
block of Pinefield Road in Scottfield near Newark. Also arrested were six of
|
|
their alleged customers.
|
|
Houghtling and Larson allegedly found their customers through personal
|
|
classified ads in The News Journal papers. Customers paid between $40 and
|
|
$150 to either have sex with Houghtling or Larson or to watch them engage in
|
|
sexual acts with animals, police said.
|
|
The couple videotaped and photographed the acts and kept detailed notes
|
|
on the participants, dates, times and costs, police said. Officers
|
|
confiscated the notes, more than 100 photos and "numerous" videotapes, police
|
|
said.
|
|
At least three dogs were involved, Kowal said. Two of the dogs remain at
|
|
the home; a third apparently has run away.
|
|
He said Houghtling and Larson invited their baby sitter to look at the
|
|
photo album and videos. She took several photos and gave them to Rego when
|
|
she stopped the officer, police said.
|
|
Houghtling was charged with six counts of prostitution and two counts each
|
|
of obscenity -- a felony -- and conspiracy. Larson faces three counts of
|
|
obscenity, one of promoting prostitution and six of conspiracy. Delaware has
|
|
no bestiality laws, police said.
|
|
Larson was freed on $7,500 unsecured bail and Houghtling on $5,000
|
|
unsecured bail, both to await Court of Common Pleas hearings. Six of their
|
|
alleged customers, men ages 43-54 and from Delaware anbd Cecil county, Md.,
|
|
were charged with patronizing a prostitute.
|
|

[Now for the second time...]

[Nothing in here about paying to have sex with dogs; makes me wonder.]

[Good reason to worry about getting caught! The asshole reporter and editors
|
|
have included enough information here, that anyone could just hop on down and
|
|
throw a fire cocktail through the window, or picket the place with Biblical
|
|
poster signs. Shit, why not print the names and addresses of their entire
|
|
family, and fuck up a whole buncha lives?]

|
|
|
|
[Ironic; there were ads in this very paper! I *really* need to start reading
|
|
those. :-) Y'think it mentioned in the ad, in some subtle way, that canine
|
|
involvement was part of the menu?]

[Not enough detail here for me to have an opinion. No one would be stupid
|
|
enough to throw this in the face of a baby sitter; I assume they must have
|
|
trusted her, probably even discussed sexual situations with her in a philo-
|
|
sophical sense now and again. Just talk. So they thought they could share
|
|
their private lives. Apparently that backfired, and the baby sitter was over-
|
|
come by terror/revulsion.]

[Obscenity is a felony. Keep that in mind. A felony. And since this is
|
|
America, we can call anything an obscenity. May a law student would like
|
|
to cite the specifics of what constitutes obscenity? Assuming they're even
|
|
written down, somewhere other than the Bible....]

[Oh, is that all? Hell, I woulda paid for some time with a dog, and paid the
|
|
price of a patronizing charge. Not a very heavy crime, thankfully. Maybe
|
|
things ain't so bad, when you're caught. And after all, those people did get
|
|
to keep their private lives for a long time; it seems that their only mistake
|
|
was trusting a young adult who was still afraid of the expanses of sexuality.
|
|
|
|
One thing still puzzles me: what on earth could that classified ad have looked
|
|
like? "If you love to have fun with dogs, call us! We offer services for
|
|
animal lovers." Or something like that? Makes me wonder.]
