'Pittsburgh adult entertainment'
Welcome back, Patch Blogger!
Here’s a roundup of items discussed at the Plum School Board April meetings:
Musical Content
Resident Reed Clarke wasn’t thrilled with this year’s Plum High School musical.
Clarke, who attended a performance of the high school’s “Sweet Charity,” said he wanted to leave during intermission because of the general content of the play. He said the themes included—theft, lying, deceit, profanity, sex, drugs and prostitution—were not appropriate for many in the audience as well as the student actors.
“It seemed very inappropriate for high school students,” Clarke said.
He said he hopes the selection process for musicals is revised for future performances.
School board member Richard Zucco said the policy committee can investigate the matter further.
Service Animals
The district now has a policy in place for students who need service animals in school.

2 ex-Pittsburgh cops get probation in prostitution

Ghafoor pleaded no contest Monday to participating in corrupt activities, and Holland pleaded guilty to promoting prostitution.

Ghafoor allegedly drove the woman to the meeting, and Holland was charged in June after his phone number and credit card were linked to online ads offering the woman’s sexual services.

The woman in last year’s prostitution sting, Sabina Sailer, 44, of Venice, Fla., also pleaded guilty to prostitution Monday and was sentenced to 18 months’ probation.

Two former Pittsburgh Police detectives entered pleas today in connection to a 2011 prostitution sting at a Moon hotel.
District Attorney spokesman Michael Manko said Faquar Holland, 39, of Charleroi, pleaded guilty to one count of promoting prostitution. His former partner Talib Kevin Ghafoor, 56, pleaded no contest to one count of participating in corrupt activities.

Ghafoor, who resigned from the Pittsburgh Police department in 2008 after a 20-year career, was charged by Moon Police in connection to a Moon-area prostitution ring, according to court records. Police first arrested him in March 2011 after police said he drove his fiance to the Courtyard by Marriott to have sex with an undercover detective in exchange for money.
Holland, who was Ghafoor’s partner in the Pittsburgh Police narcotics division, was also charged with promoting prostitution last year after police said he purchased online prostitution advertisements with Ghafoor.

The crack drew a thumbs up from former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who was in the audience. Santorum dropped out of the presidential primary campaign earlier this month. He had called Obama a snob for encouraging young Americans to attend college.
But Obama touched on serious themes as well, remembering The New York Times’ Anthony Shadid and Marie Colvin of the Sunday Times of London who died while covering the uprising in Syria.
“Never forget that our country depends on you to help protect our freedom, our democracy and our way of life,” Obama said.
Then he returned to the lighter side: “I have to get the Secret Service home in time for their new curfew.”
Kimmel, the night’s featured entertainer, picked up on the Secret Service prostitution scandal in Colombia, saying he told the Secret Service that for $800 he wouldn’t joke about them, “but they only offered 30.”

… Look at this party. We have men in tuxes, women in gowns, fine wine, first-class entertainment. I was relieved to hear it was not a GSA conference,” Obama quipped.
He even chided Kimmel, star of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“Jimmy got his start on the ‘Man Show.’ In Washington, that is what we call a congressional hearing on contraception.”
The dinner was Obama’s fourth as president. It has been a ritual in Washington since 1920, when it was first held to boost communication between the press and the president, according to the association’s website. It was open only to men until 1962, when President John F. Kennedy said he would not attend unless women were invited.
Speaking of women, first ladies have been known to get in their own digs.
In 2005, Laura Bush said friends went out one night to see male strippers after Bush, “Mr. Excitement,” was typically fast asleep at 9 p.m.
