In other news, the B-Girls trial is still being heard and the testimony of former weatherman John Bolaris was out of a bad movie. From Jay Weaver:
More than two years after his “nightmare on South Beach,” former TV weatherman John Bolaris remains a little foggy about his close encounter with a couple of Latvian “Bar Girls” who swindled him for $43,000 in bogus booze charges billed to his AMEX card.
On Friday, Bolaris testified in Miami federal court that he didn’t have sex with them, though the thought crossed his mind after meeting the duo at the Delano Hotel in late March 2010. Bolaris, 55, was asked whether the B-girls suggested they go to his room at the Fontainebleau Hotel for a “threesome.”
“No, sir,” Bolaris told defense attorney Roderick Vereen. “In my right state of mind, I would not do that.” Vereen shot back: “What about in your intoxicated state of mind?” ***The following night, Bolaris said he went to dinner at the Delano Hotel, eating sushi and drinking a few glasses of his favorite wine, pinot grigio. He then sat down in the hotel’s Rose Bar for a few more glasses of wine. Nearby, a pair of B-girls were acting like tourists as they took pictures of each other. They struck up a conversation with him.
Bolaris described them as “very cutesy, like the girls next door ... the kind of girls you’d like to marry.” He paid for a round of wine, and later invited them to the Delano’s poolside bar, where he slipped a $50 bill to the bouncer to let them in. He bought another round of wine.
One of the B-girls started rubbing his shoulders from behind, while the other approached from the front to offer him a shot of liquor.
“Come on, do the shot,” she teased. Bolaris said, “No, no.”
But eventually he gave in and downed one.
During his testimony, federal prosecutor Richard Gregorie asked Bolaris if at that point he had the impression they were “hookers.” He emphatically said, “No.”
Gregorie further asked if he went to the Delano looking to have sex. He said he went there for sushi, “not for sex.”
There comes a point in a man's life when sushi assumes more importance than sex. This is why psychiatrists make a good living. When you're ordering a "sex on the beach roll" instead of sex on the beach...and the freudian implications of calling food a "roll" ...wow.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't pick up a non-hooker on sb, you do not belong on sb. Truth of the matter is that dudes constantly overlook the fact the girls (especially tourists) go to sb for the same reason guys go to sb...to get laid.
ReplyDeleteYou just can't be a chicken shit and hang by the bar all night pretending to watch football. You actually have to go dance a little.
That being said, I hope the jury convicts there commy bastards...we really don't need them tooling around hustling people.
The kind of girls you want to marry? I hope this guy was crossed on mental health issues.
ReplyDeleteI still don't know why this is in federal court. And the testimony is not credible. Five minutes in he should have known they were pros of one kind or another and that he should get away or prepare to kiss his $$ good-bye. My guess is he wasn't thinking with his brain.
ReplyDeleteBTW: Why do I picture 7:31 as Quagmire from Famil Guy?
7:31 here - I accept the comparison.
ReplyDeleteGiggidy giggidy gooo.
But really, the government fucked up the case here by making it too complicated and going after the B-girls themselves...who are probably victims of sex trafficking in one form or another.
It should have been brought as a Mann Act case. The problem with that is that the blood thirsty prosecutors from our good ole US Atty's office could not possibly pass up prosecuting the girls themselves because the girls were 'complicit' in the scheme. True, but they probably did not start out that way and should be viewed as victims.
I wonder how much the "A" girls cost? JRP
ReplyDeleteHow come no mention of Calli's stirring defense of Lewis and Tein?
ReplyDeleteB girls downgraded to C girls, now in Au Bon Pain in justice building hustling cafe con leche and the chill corn chowder. "Oye, baby. Want some coffee and toast? Can I join you? I really love the corn and chili chowder. The large is the best and if you order the special for $8.99 you get a medium drink and chips. It's worth is baby. You look soooo hungry. Lets eat and talk baby..."
