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.
If the judge's hubby is gay, that's pretty much a matter for him and the judge to work out.Any criminal charges are apt to be "disorderly conduct" level, and hubby-having taken his chances-should pay his fine, etc. without reference to his wife's occupation.
a cynical person would think this was probably a "show" marriage with the judge off in a leather dyke bar somewhere with hillary and janet while hubby was out playing with the boys. of course, I wouldn't make an accusation like that without proof.
Whom ever orchestrated it, the objective of discrediting the American justice system is clear! Time will tell!
However, the Judge should stay away from light airplanes!
I'm not picking on you,but this is the part that everybody on this thread is ranting and raving about,and I just don't get it. Yeah,it is TECHNICALLY a "public place",but no innocent person is going to go in there by accident. Have ANY of you gone into a porn store by accident? People walking by outside can't see what's going on,and the people who go in there on purpose who know it is a homosexual hangout obviously don't care. It's hard to believe the police in that town don't have anything more important to do with 4 undercover police officers than bust a place like this. Must be a real low-crime area.
I know her both personally and professionally, and she's a great person -- really. Apparently her husband had some self-hating need to undermine her (i.e., jealous of her success)-- that's the only way I can understand this.
Officer and a Gentleman...version 2
When I was stationed on the Nimitz, 7-8 homosexuals were caught going at it inside a engineering space that housed banks of circuit breakers, known as a "load center.".
The roving watch had the misfortune of stumbling across this scene. He exited the space, locking them in, and called for the master at arms.
Gimme a break, what, do you think the DNC arranged this little party as a set up?
I thought people were supposed to be responsible for their own behavior.
It concerns me that too many folks will read your remarks and, with that 1000 yard stare, will nod approvingly!
The city park is across the street. That will be next.
But, continue with your thought. Drive it out into the open. That may be a good thing. Then people must choose. Then people will have to actually do something about it, confront it, stand up and act. We fail to act, the enemy gains.
After all we witnessed during the 1992-2000 timeframe........the Clinton era.........trust me when I say I'm not laughing at you. Far from it.
Thanks. There is another possibility, too, which may fit Occam's Razor:
I don't know anything about the divorce laws of that state, but if I were a judge saddled with a loser like that, I just might leak the story myself to minimize any possibility of him getting much of a settlement when I divorced him and to ruin his practice :)
