Metro-area prostitution ring owner gets prison
…
A woman who pleaded guilty in connection with a long-running metro-area prostitution ring was sentenced to four months in federal prison today.

At her sentencing hearing today in federal court in Denver, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim Neff argued that Schramm should be sentenced to 8 months in prison, saying she was involved in the “flagrant operation of a brothel.” Schramm housed some prostitutes at her home, and she purchased condoms in bulk, according to the details of her plea agreement.
…
The investigation centered on three massage parlors: the Bali Spa on South Parker Road in Arapahoe County, the Malley Spa in Northglenn and the Green Garden Spa in Edgewater. According to her plea agreement, Schramm staffed the spas with a rotating roster of prostitutes, who would offer sexual services to massage clients. The prostitutes would split the profits 50-50 with Schramm, according to the document.

Niwot gallery, housed in old brothel, explores objectification
…
The show also features paintings — including works by two Colorado masters, Longmont’s own Scott Fraser and Quang Ho — as well as a Bettie Page-style “peep show” booth, for-sale books by Jay Moynahan about prostitution in the Old West, and other objects and images that have to do with desire.
The idea for the show came to Manifest owners Karen Adler and Dia Kline when they learned recently that their building, at 108 Second Ave., was used as a brothel in the late 1970s. Ed McGill, owner of Canvasback Fine Art & Framing, worked across the street from the brothel, which was called Queen of Hearts. He remembers when sheriff’s deputies showed up to close the place down.

The show, however, is not meant to focus on prostitution, or even sex. It is

A 70-count indictment handed up Monday named Patrick Lloyd McGowan, 22; Chad Armand Gow, 20; Roy Manuel Ibarra-Gonzales, 20; and Bryan Steven Burns, 20, as the ringleaders. Nine other people were charged, including men who allegedly drove teenagers to other cities for business calls, men who patronized teenage prostitutes and a woman who allegedly tried to cover the group’s tracks.

Early that morning, he went through the front door of the house and went downstairs. He shot Wells in the head twice, but one bullet grazed her nose and the other didn’t pierce her brain. Bleeding profusely, Wells ran into the hallway. Sher admitted stabbing and slashing her throat, according to the taped confession.
Sher said he heard noise upstairs and ran up the stairs. A man came out of a bedroom holding a shotgun. He was loading the shotgun when he saw Sher. After a struggle, Sher brought his gun around and shot Rafferty in the chest.
Radelet said the case is marginal for the death penalty because there were other defendants who each shared partial responsibility for the murder.
Colorado has had many cases that were egregious but the death penalty was not sought, including the case of Richard Paul White, a serial killer who stalked, tortured and strangled five prostitutes and fatally shot his friend.

Denver Escorts: Arapahoe commissioners postpone discussion about naming buildings after people

denverindependentescort — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:36:53 +0000

Current Sheriff Grayson Robinson asked the board to table the matter and the commission agreed to postpone it.
The jail in Arapahoe County is named after Sullivan, who during his time as sheriff was one of the most respected law enforcement officials in the state.
While Robinson called Sullivan’s arrest an “embarrassment to this community,” he said a task force and the judicial process needs more time to investigate the charges against Sullivan. A gag order in the case prevented him for speaking more about the investigation.
“We have an obligation to the principles of the judicial system” Robinson said. “I do not believe now is the time.”
Sullivan, who turns 69 on Wednesday, was arrested Nov. 29 after a sting operation by law enforcement. He faces charges of felony possession of methamphetamine, distribution of methamphetamine and misdemeanor solicitation of a prostitute.
