Prostitution Ring Tied to Fraternity

This is a very disheartening article that I ran across today. This is not the image the founders had in mind. On college campuses, Greek members are looked at as role models and leaders. Greek members have to be aware of what they are doing at all times.

According to The Toledo Blade, During the four-day Alpha Phi Alpha convention, prosecutors said, North Toledoan Kevin Murphy provided several prostitutes through an escort service he ran under the names "Janelle's Sophisticated Ladies" and "Erotic Angels."

Among those prostitutes: a barely 16-year-old Toledo girl.

She and the adult prostitutes would "dance and strip" for convention-goers, Assistant U.S.
Attorney David Bauer told federal Judge David Katz yesterday. "Mr. Murphy … made members of this fraternity aware that women were available for other services - in other words, prostitution services," Mr. Bauer said.


Investigators said a fraternity contact would offer Murphy information about conventions, and Murphy would transport his prostitutes. Mr. Bauer did not name the fraternity contact, but he did say it did not appear to be a high-level decision to bring in prostitutes.

Murphy offered prostitutes at several fraternity conventions last year, including meetings in Peoria, Ill., and Dearborn, Mich., Mr. Bauer said.

Investigators learned of the arrangement during their "Innocence Lost" investigations, a national initiative to stop the underage sex trade. Investigators made several prostitution-related arrests last July 25 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel during the national Alpha Phi Alpha convention, Mr. Bauer said in court. According to news reports at the time, more than 5,000 people attended, including Congressional representatives, actor Lou Gossett, Jr., and Grammy Award-winner Lionel Richie.

William Lyle, director of communications for the fraternity's national office, told The Blade he was not aware of the arrests last year in Washington and does not know Murphy.

Joe Conley, who works in the University of Toledo's legal affairs department and is president of the UT's Alpha Phi Alpha alumni chapter, also said he did not know Murphy or of the arrests. "This is the first I've heard of it, and it's really troubling," Mr. Conley said.

A sentencing hearing has not been scheduled.

I will admit that I thought I would NEVER see the day that Paris Hilton would go to jail. Yes sir, a judge handed down a 45 day sentence to her. For more info, read here.


UPDATE -5/17/07: The judge has shorten her sentence to 23 days!! If that was you or me, the judge would've given us the maximum sentence... This is sending out the wrong message. She commit a CRIME!!
According to Yahoo!, Her sentence was shortened after jail officials gave her credit for good behavior. Officials considered several factors in calculating the credit, including that she appeared for her latest court date.

Hilton will stay in a unit that contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates.

Like everyone else in the 2,200-inmate facility, Hilton will get at least an hour outside her cell each day to shower, watch television, participate in outdoor recreation or talk on the telephone.

His scene credits include "Saving Private Ryan" and "Black Hawk Down." He also had a reality show on Vh1 called Shooting Sizemore, which depicted his struggles, both with his band and in court with former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss.

T-Pain Arrested in Miami


R&B singer T-Pain was arrested Saturday evening during the Radio One Springfest concert in Miami after he refused requests from officials at Bayfront Amphitheater to cut his set short.


Pain, whose real name is Faheem Najm, was the closing act on a bill that included Trey Songz, Mims, Jim Jones, Rick Ross, Yung Joc, Rich Boy and others. t-Pain got irate when when officials called for him to finish his set early. He reportedly ignored the request and continued to perform.


According to a concertgoer, the police presence began to increase backstage as T-Pain’s manager bum rushed the DJ booth, pushing down a female cop along the way. The manager was apprehended by police before he could return to the stage.


Meanwhile, T-Pain continued to ignore requests to stop his show, and was in the midst of his hit single "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin’)" when his music was finally cut off, witnesses say. He allegedly tossed his mic and became furious, jumping up and down, while throwing middle fingers at the police and dropping the f-bomb.


T-Pain and his crew left the venue and drove away in a van, but they were reportedly trailed by police who eventually pulled all members from the vehicle. The Tallahassee-born artist was arrested, although charges were unclear as of press time.


I guess his manager missed the fine print on the contract where it says they will lock your behind up if you act a fool!!
