Sex and the Senator's husband

Woman who traded sex with senator's husband for money gets jail
In tears, the Westland woman accused of accepting money for sex from the husband of U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., began serving five days in jail today for violating the terms of her probation.

The decision, said 52-4 District Judge William Bolle, effectively ends the case.

It’s been a long ride for the 21-year-old Alycia Martin, who is now eight months pregnant and engaged, said her pro bono attorney Frank Cusumano Jr. Martin, who dropped out of high school in the ninth grade and has been on her own since she was in her late teens, is working at a fast food restaurant, has a driver’s license and is working to get her GED. She also voted for the first time in November. But her gas and electric has been shut off and she struggles to buy necessities like food, clothing and baby supplies.

She is, Cusumano said, the most broke she’s ever been -- but also the happiest, because she’s a contributing member of society and no longer involved in prostitution.

“My car breaks down every other day,” said Martin, shortly before she was led away by an Oakland County Sheriff’s Office deputy. “There’s nothing I can do. I can’t walk here. And I don’t have money for gas most of the time.”

Martin had been sentenced in August to six months of probation on a misdemeanor trespassing charge after she was arrested in a prostitution sting in February 2008 at a Troy hotel. Initially charged with misdemeanor prostitution, she was sentenced by Bolle under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, which allows first-time nonviolent offenders ages 17-21 to have their records wiped clean if they successfully complete probation.

Bolle revoked that privilege this morning.

According to court officials, Martin had not showed up for mandatory drug and alcohol testing since September. Cusumano has repeatedly said Martin, who makes less than $100 a week and shares a car with other family members, cannot afford to pay for the testing.

Tom Athans, Stabenow’s - you remember, the Democrat Senator from Michigan - husband since 2003, was not charged in exchange for his assistance in the case. Where's the sense od fair-play - not foreplay - that Da Dims keep whining about? Both parties are guilty. He never testified because Martin pleaded guilty.

“Alycia will get through this,” Cusumano said. “She’ll serve her time. I don’t know why he’d throw her in jail, but it underscores the whole thing. There is a disparity between wealth and poverty.
“What does this say about the city of Troy?”

Are you kidding me?

There is so much corruption going on in this country regard local, state, and federal government the smell from it will choke us to death long before fossil fuel emissions kill us. Yet the citizens and the legal system leave the status quo alone and go after one desperate young girl. No Justice!

“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands far off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth fails and he that departs from evil makes himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.”

Isaiah 59:14-15

Amen! The stench of this particular injustice and double-standard should revolt us all.

Democrats in general are so full of Crap it's a wonder they get past a auto flush toilet without being swept away.
I used to be a Democrat, voted for Clinton twice. But today, there is so much BS and crap out there from every demarcate, it just turns my stomach. From Nancy's not wanting to drill for oil to Obama closing Cuba prison. just because all the Black people voted for the Black guy doesn't mean the rest of the country are for him.
I doubt if he will make it threw the year. But then, OMG, Biden will be President, I'm going to puke.
