Default CashTitan - Arrests Made In FL

PENSACOLA, FL - Clinton Raymond McCowen, AKA Ray Guhn, and Kevin Patrick Stevens of Global Technologies Inc. have been arrested in northwestern Florida on charges of racketeering, conducting a criminal enterprise by engaging in prostitution and the manufacture and sale of obscene materials, according to reports in the Associated Press.

McNesby said that the arrests reflect the area’s “values,” and are designed to send a message.

“We want people to know that we don’t want this kind of activity in our community,” said McNesby.

According to an affidavit filed in the case, the website’s principles recruited and paid local men and women to engage in obscene group sexual activity. It is also alleged in the affidavit that the men hired people to engage in “private parties,” in which the defendants were also involved.

As part of the investigation, an undercover officer approached the defendants claiming to be interested in performing in videos. According to the affidavit, the officer was told that the company had been filming in the area for about five years, and had filmed over 100 women in the vicinity. The undercover officer also was allegedly told to recruit friends who might be interested.

In the course of raids last Friday, investigators also seized guns, drugs, computers and business records, according to AP reports.

McNesby and Eddins said the investigation arose from complaints made by Florida residents concerning local advertising of the films and recruiting of local models and actors to appear in the videos.

The arrests follow an earlier investigation that resulted in the March arrests of 16 people alleged to be the principal operators of 10 escort services in the Escambia and Santa Rosa areas. Authorities claim that the escort services served as fronts for prostitution rings.

------

for some of us yesterday it was shocking news while others simply passed it off as the government attempting a new angle. What shocks me the most is that there are few threads dedicated to this action taken over the weekend.

I know the guys at CashTitan and they are a client of ours - it blew me out of my chair when I heard this happened but also that few knew about it.

This action should raise some concern for us all if certain states that do not have laws set in place for things such as studios using escorts for filming/pictures or advertising for girls.
