Stephanie Celestial, 23, faces one count of false reporting, indecent exposure and resisting arrest, along with an outstanding felony warrant from California.
An officer conducting a random patrol observed Celestial in the area of 5215 W. Willetta St. with her dress pulled up to her waist. When she realized police were behind her, she slightly pulled her dress down, according to court paperwork.
Police said Celestial gave them a false name keep from being arrested for an outstanding felony warrant. When officers tried to handcuff her, she became upset and began to violently move her body, officers said. Police took her to the ground to prevent any injury to her or the officer.
Celestial told police she her indecent exposure “is how she dresses normally,” court documents said. She told officers that she has been arrested numerous times for prostitution in California and served prison time. Celestial also admitted she was resisting arrest because “she did not want to go back to prison,” court paperwork said.

Police said numerous advertisements had the address in the Phoenix escorts section of the website Backpage.com.
In January and March, detectives called the number on the ad and spoke with a woman who arranged a prostitution deal.
Police arrested Paula Occhino on Wednesday at her home on Meadowbrook Avenue on three counts of prostitution.

Phoenix police: Man tried to force girl into prostitution
Phoenix police arrested a man early Wednesday morning on suspicion of holding a 17-year-old San Diego girl against her will and trying to force her into prostitution in Phoenix.
Michael Cantry, 32, was arrested just after midnight at an apartment complex near McDowell Road and 41st Avenue in Phoenix, said Officer James Holmes, spokesman for the Phoenix Police Department.

Cantry is suspected of using fear to force the teenage girl and adult woman to “walk the streets” and make money for him, Holmes said. Cantry told the woman and the teenager, according to police, that each needed to make $500 for him before they could leave a well-known prostitution track in Phoenix.
The woman eventually participated in a prostitution deal but the girl didn’t because she was scared, Holmes said.

We digressed briefly into non-Western tangents: Whorehouses in Bangladesh and the linguistic absences of words relating to sex there. On their visit to India some twenty years ago, they recalled the English names of these ghettos: “In Mumbai it’s called Falkland Road, and in Delhi, it’s UK Road. In some places you walk by and the prostitutes lift their dresses and clearly you can see they are boys who have had their penis removed. It looks like a cat’s bum…”

Did being queer and English strengthen their bond? George answered, “We are not so keen on the common word gay, which is stolen from Eighteenth century prostitutes in London, the gay ladies, because they had a lot of colours.”

In T.S. Eliot’s poem, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, the narrator confronts the particular terrors of middle-aged agony, asking himself, “Do I dare disturb the universe?” Pete (Vincent Kartheiser) seems to ask himself the same question, and in his characteristically impulsive fashion, answers the inquiry with an immediate “Yes. Just when we thought Pete had descended to the lowest level of morality, cavorting with prostitutes, aupairs, and underage girls, and acting as Lane’s punching bag, we see his darkness has exponential potential. When he’s confronted with a kiss from his train buddy’s wife Beth (played by Alexis Bledel of Gilmore Girls fame) after driving her home from the train station, he forgoes the high road without hesitation, giving into her advances. The sad part is, she seems just as lost and needy is he is, looking for recognition and reassurance in all the wrong places. After their romp (which we’re unfortunately not given privy to, because this is AMC, not HBO) they engage in metaphor laden pillow talk: “I’ve had men paying attention to me since before it was appropriate. And they don’t care what I say. They just watch my lips move.”

SEATTLE (AP) -
Mayors of nearly 50 cities across the country are urging Village Voice Media to require identification for people posting escort ads on its Backpage.com — an online ad service that has come under scrutiny from authorities for allegations that’s it’s used to promote child prostitution.
In a letter sent Monday by the United States Conference of Mayors, the cities’ leaders say that authorities continue to find advertisements on Backpage.com that “reflect underage sex trafficking.”
Backpage.com critics say the site is used to advertise underage prostitutes, often victims of sex trafficking.
Village Voice Media owns 13 alternative weekly newspapers, including Phoenix New Times.
Critics estimate that Village Voice Media makes more than $22 million per year from sex-related ads, a figure the Phoenix-based company has not disputed.

SPANISH LAKE • In the foyer of Lawrence and Goldia Coldon’s modest home, a Christmas tree stands lined with lights and ornaments. Outside, green holiday trim adorns a pillar on the porch.
Never mind that it’s well into spring. The decorations distract from the reality that nearly five months have passed since their only child, Phoenix Coldon, 23, disappeared.
She left home after church on the afternoon of Dec. 18. Her truck was found idling in the middle of an East St. Louis street hours later.
Disappointed by what they call a lack of effort by police and a lack of local media coverage, they are trying to exhaust every avenue to find her.
They’ve talked to drug dealers and prostitutes in and around East St. Louis. And they have paid a private investigator thousands of dollars to follow leads as far away as California.
