A high-rolling Hub lawyer whose jurist wife is presiding over the case against accused shoe bomber Richard Reid was among seven men busted for fondling each other in a seedy Rhode Island porno theater this week, police and sources said.
Attorney Alan M. Reisch, a partner at the prestigious Goulston and Storrs law firm, was one of seven men busted in Amazing Express Video in Johnston, R.I., Wednesday night. Reisch, the husband of U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Judith Dein, and the other six men all had their pants down and were engaged in various sex acts when cops burst into the darkened theater.
``What they were doing was a public health hazard,'' Johnston, R.I., police Chief Richard Tamburini said. ``It's bizarre.'' The shop, which is listed on one Web site as a popular ``cruising'' spot for gay men, was known to police as a haven for illicit sex, Tamburini said.
``We knew it was a breeding ground for this type of activity but we never thought it went on on that level,'' Tamburini said. ``You expect maybe one-on-one but not seven guys.''
Among those arrested with Reisch was 57-year-old Edward Sherman of North Attleboro and Christopher Scott, a 30-year-old Cumberland, R.I., high school teacher. All were charged with disorderly conduct but Reisch and three others were additionally charged with loitering for prostitution for allegedly soliciting others to join the all-male orgy.
According to one longtime friend, Reisch, 48, has been married to Dein for 20 years.
Did you dredge this up out of the Google cache? I just checked the firm's web site, and there remains no mention of Mr. Reisch anywhere. But it appears they forgot to delete his picture from their server.
A bad pun.
I'm not talking about violent crime; of course we need a police force and so forth. But these types of moral assaults must be resisted on the spot, by the person or persons that are present. And I'm not talking about assaulting anyone, either. Simply protesting; resisting; not allowing it to go unapposed. If there is a public place where the perversions abound, it should be occupied. We must become aggressive, and non-violently do what needs to be done, ourselves.
