Crushing Animals lands Florida Models in the Clink

I’ve yet to meet a single human being who didn’t have a soft spot for at least one species of non-human animal. I’ve seen ruthless employers rave about a certain racehorse, an callous former flame go to pieces over a triple-shot of roadkill, and I myself have been known to giggle and flail about when in the presence of a particularly charming and precocious kitten. So, imagine my shock when the following appeared in my news feed a few weeks back: Adult performers face animal cruelty charges in FL (Miami Herald, April 4, 2014) It seems someone has been hiring sex workers to film themselves mutilating and slaughtering fish, rabbits and chickens in a most gory fashion, stomping and crushing them until they’re left a bloody, broken lifeless mess. The accused performers, Stephanie Hird (aka Megan Jones) and Sara Zamora (aka Gloria Shynez), were arrested weeks apart but investigators with Miami-Dade PD say it appears they were both hired by the same man. Adam Redford, a fishing boat captain, is the alleged producer behind “crush video” website SOS Barn, which according to police reports promotes “torturing and killing a wide variety of animals, including chickens, rabbits and more for the sexual gratification of its viewers.” Redford, listed as Zamora’s co-defendant hosted the film shoot at his house in South Miami-Dade, recently finished a slate of probation for (you guess it) animal cruelty charges. Hird’s alleged offenses (according to her arrest warrant) include shooting two restrained rabbits at point-blank range and allowing them to squirm and struggle before death, repeatedly shooting an “obviously in pain” rat, and setting a mound of wounded rats on fire, and the crushing of live fish with her hands and feet. According to the Miami Herald, Zamora’s performances for SOS Barn went even further. “In one clip of “SOS Barn,” Miami-Dade police say, Zamora gropes a man’s genitals with her left hand while “repeatedly cutting a chicken’s neck using hedge clippers with her right.” In others, she posed “in a sexy outfit” after hacking off the head of another screaming bird, or she beat chickens to death with a wooden stick. Chickens weren’t the only victims. She also karate-chopped the necks of several rabbits as they howled in pain, according to the report, then admitted to killing them.”

Stephanie Hird was released on a $7,500 bond and remains under house arrest. Sara Zamora remains in jail – she was arrested inside, already there for a string of theft, drug, and fraud charges – and faces up to five years for each of the eight counts of animal cruelty she’s being charged with. Hird, who claims her charges fall outside the statue of limitations, is charged with five counts of animal cruelty. Trial dates have yet to be set.

Aussie’s Drink a Perma-Boner!

Australia, like much of the rest of the world, has been knocking back enough highly-caffeinated energy drinks to (possibly) kill its entire horse population (maybe) for almost twenty years. Now, though, there’s one less brightly decorated, warning-bearing can at the 7-11 with controversial energy drink MosKa being banned by Australian authorities.

Moska

MosKa, a “natural herbal” beverage designed to enhance sexual experiences, was pulled from shelves and banned throughout the nation after it was found by Australian authorities to contain Levitra. A trade name of Vardenafil, an erectile disfunction treatment, Levitra can cause priapism, also known as “the boner that wouldn’t go away.” Priapism is the inability of an erection to recede back into its usually flaccid state. An interminable erection might seem like fun and games, but priapism is known to cause permanent damage, and there’s the risk of hearing loss, too. Most endangered, though, are those with heart conditions, but that’s a pretty standard energy drink warning that nobody gives a hoot about.

MosKa has said the infringing batches of its product were externally produced and, as such, it can claim no knowledge of the inclusion of Levitra. “We are devastated that the overseas OEM supplier for MosKa energy for adults had included an undeclared ingredient, Vardenafil (Levitra), within the natural ingredients,” reads a statement from MosKa’s website. “Vardenafil (Levitra) is a prescription only substance.” Yeah, to give you raging hard-ons when you just can’t make ’em by yourself anymore.

An otherwise healthy, sexually able guy with a throbbing, aching erection that won’t go away? That doesn’t sound too bad… until you consider that a common treatment for priapism involves a Winter’s shunt:

penile shunt

Yikes! That’s enough to scare any caffeine-addicted energy drink drinker into relative sobriety!

Cleaning the Web of Porn in PRC

Revealing its latest plans to eradicate erotica from the reach of Chinese citizens and residents, the National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications, declared on Sunday that its latest endeavor, called ‘Cleaning the Web 2014’ will execute investigations of all things Internet – including websites, mobile apps, TV set-top boxes, usb connectivity sticks, and search engines – in the hopes of shuttering an adult content for good.

Due to run until November 2014, Cleaning the Web 2014 will see state bodies the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, and the State internet Information Office working with the aforementioned anti-porn office to detect and delete any and all pornography found.

Whether or not this latest effort will work, however, is anyone’s guess. Similar efforts have in recent years failed to sufficiently quell the proliferation of online pornography available to those behind the Great Firewall of China, keeping the People’s Republic happily (but discreetly) fapping away and the likes of Alina Li leaving the homeland in favor of the relative sexual freedom of the United States’ adult entertainment industry.

Scarlett Rouge: 12 Years for Murder

Scarlett Rouge

Noted BBW adult performer, Scarlett Rouge, was convicted of murder in the second degree last week at the close of her trial in Niagara Falls, New York. The victim, Ralph Stone, bled to death from a single stab wound to the neck. Stone was the father of a two-year-old daughter and a landscaper for his family’s business. He was 24-years-old and Rouge’s boyfriend.

Arrested and charged with second-degree murder after an incident on February 6 of 2013, Rouge, whose real name is Jennifer Marchant, stood trial in Niagara County Court and detailed her relationship to the deceased and the court heard of her previous run-ins with the law and aggressive confrontations with former flames. On probation for DWI offenses at the time of the stabbing, Marchant had returned early from a new job with an Amherst collection agency to find Stone drunk and on the hunt for cocaine. After joining in the revelry and bringing a co-worker, Stephanie Dee, along for the ride, Marchant played beer pong with the victim and his friend, Ray Graney, before heading to a bar for more drinking. Later, a fight ensued that resulted in Stone being stabbed once in the neck with a kitchen knife.

The Niagara Falls Reporter detailed the findings of the court and summed the whole incident, which left the families of both victim and convict in tears at the reading of the verdict, as “a lesson in how anger, jealousy, stupidity and drugs and alcohol can destroy people.” At the time of the incident, the victim’s mother told Examiner reporters, “as far as I know, they got along well. She came for Christmas. She seemed like a real nice girl.” Marchant’s family is considering an appeal and considers her actions self-defense. It’s an all-too familiar line and one that unfortunately tends to end up with abused and battered women incarcerated for protecting themselves and their families. Before her 12-year sentence was handed down, Marchant spoke of the victim to Niagara Falls County Court, saying “I loved him too, a lot, but I did everything I could that night. I begged him to stop. I should have known better.”
