      Teen Prostitutes Find Help at LA Shelter

      "I'm their mother," says the founder of a Los Angeles shelter for teen prostitutes. For almost three decades, Children of the Night has focused on helping girls recover from their past rather than treating them like criminals, Good Magazine reports. Shelter founder Lois Lois "isn’t like other social-service types," said one LAPD officer. "Lois sees the big picture." More »

      MI5 Implicated in F1 Chief's Nazi Orgy

      A British spy is out of a job following his admission that his wife was one of the five prostitutes who participated in Max Mosley's Nazi-themed orgy, reports the Times of London. Worse yet, the wife was purportedly behind the camera, though MI5 yesterday denied Mosley's accusation that it set up the orgy as a sting. But the spy's link is a messy twist, since he could have been subject to blackmail. More »

      Hooker Sex Is Rape, London Ads Warn Johns

      British authorities are targeting men who pay for sex with a hard-hitting ad campaign comparing some instances to rape, Reuters reports. Because thousands of women trafficked into the country each year are forced into prostitution, there's nothing consensual about the sex they sell, the ads suggest. "Walk in a punter, walk out a rapist," say the ads to be posted in men's rooms. More »

      Domineering, 'Perverse' Fritzl Feared at Local Brothel

      Josef Fritzl was a regular at a brothel near his Austrian town and the prostitutes there feared him and shunned him whenever they could, the Scotsman reports. His domineering, "perverse" demands terrified the women, said a bartender. Among customers "95% are normal and 3% are a bit weird. Fritzl belongs to the remaining 2% that are definitely mentally ill," the man added. More »

      Craigslist Sex Ad Was Carjack Lure

The 23-year-old went to a house listed in the ad and started to return to his truck when no one answered the door. Two armed men then took his money and keys, hit him with the butt of a shotgun, and drove away in his truck, the San Jose Mercury News reports. More »

"I feel the pain will never go away," said the mother of a victim. Police now suspect Steve Wright, 49, in other unsolved murders. More »
