Scott Adler?

[MiamiLooker]

jpeg images of a summary of the July 30 proceedings at which he agreed to probation were posted on one of the (now defunct) blogs. I am assuming they were genuine; they didn't look like forgeries to me.

 

They weren't forgeries. You can perform a search to find the info on the LA Co Sheriff's site: http://app4.lasd.org/iic/ajis_search.cfm

Uh, no. All you get there is really minimal information about next court date. There isn't much about charges and absolutely nothing in detail about previous agreements.

 

There was a blog that had some stuff posted. It was created several times and shut down several times. It was profferred as "legally accurate and unbiased" but honestly if it was either of those it wouldn't have needed to be an anonymous blog and it probably wouldn't keep getting shut down.

 

It seems we have a couple of people revelling in someone else's misery (a condition the Germans refer to as Schadenfreude) AT ALL COSTS, HUMAN DIGNITY BE-DAMNED.

 

Slow down, hoss. It might be you next time.

[runthemhoes]

i know Scott sold drugs because I've bought from him before. so has most everyone who's set foot into Here Lounge, Micky's, Abbey or Factory in WeHo

That makes him a drug dealer. I'd like to give benefit of the doubt here but think that levying an opinion is just wasted space.

 

So maybe we put up a poll Daddy?

Oops you're correct. I didn't read close enough and was thinking the post was asking about the current charges.

The link you provided doesn't give the current charges either.

 

You're on pretty thin ice here. I'd stop now if I were you. No harm. No foul. Just step away.

Is he only 5 feet tall? I noticed the "500" in the height section.

"Schadenfreude"

 

... a condition the Germans refer to as Schadenfreude ...

 

A pleasure derived from the misfortune of others.

(as recently seen in Avenue Q)

 

I logged in to post earlier this afternoon, but I've got a phone call and got otherwise occupied. I see that in the meantime others have chimed in.

I have to agree with what Deej and Lucky have expressed above.

 

People will always slow down to watch a car accident. No matter what.

 

I'm starting to think that there is no genuine concern about Scott's personal well-being but some kind of sick desire to get the latest scoop and the latest gossip (duh ...!) about Scott Adler by starting those threads. Leave the guy alone, already ...

 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it ...

Uh, no. All you get there is really minimal information about next court date. There isn't much about charges and absolutely nothing in detail about previous agreements.

The detailed info is from the court, not the sheriff's web site.

Do you have real info about how or why the blog shut down?

Yes, there is a Schadenfreude element to this discussion. There is also a legitimate interest in the character and behavior of an escort.

More of the former than the latter, IMHO.

So it's behind a login/password, and on a for-pay site as well, eh? That makes it off limits here.

 

You brought it up. (Thanks!) Go read the rules.

Immaterial. My point stands.

[Guest ItsMeDears]

"Yes, there is a Schadenfreude element to this discussion. There is also a legitimate interest in the character and behavior of an escort."

 

Wouldn't the latter be a reason for the former?

[whipped guy]

While this discussion is indeed quite valid, I must admit that this thread is giving me a chance to brush up on my German. So, along those lines and since the Schadenfreude element is causing a bit of Sturm und Drang here how about...

 

O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!

Sondern lasst uns angenehmere anstimmen

und freudenvollere!

 

Oh friends, not these tones!

Let us raise our voices in more

Pleasing and more joyful sounds!

 

 

 

 

[Lookin]

I know, I know, to a person, we're all fine upstanding citizens here, beacons of rectitude to our communities, and favored children of Lady Luck. What, then, keeps drawing me back to deej's observation?

 

Slow down, hoss. It might be you next time.

[Guest novabear22031]

Real shame to hear of Scott's/Seth's troubles. Not sure of all the details; but in the end that does not matter. Just that one of "us" on the DR is in trouble - could have been any one of us for any "multiple sins" in our lives.

[uwsman2]

why the interest?

 

For some, this story is interesting not just because we read Scott's frequent posts here, but because we actually met him. I had several sessions with Scott, with me he was always a gentleman, in peak condition, and totally into having a good time with me physically, and there was never a whiff of drugs about him. But that was just my experience. I'm hoping the stories are wrong and that he is not guilty of dealing drugs. If he is, of course, then he is subject to legal punishment.

Scott Adler

 

In my younger days, I knew quite a few people in the "pharma" business. It was the late 70s and I probably could have gotten into the trade if I'd wanted. Scott may have been smart enough to know where to draw the line between his different lives. Other people in the drug business seem to do okay with this. Dealing doesn't connote anything about how much someone may be using. He had a legit job with Bruce Vlanich, so you have to wonder if it was about money or just about being part of something that wasn't a 9 to 5.

[N.N.]

You brought it up. (Thanks!) Go read the rules.

 

The rules say "do not post links to password-protected areas of other sites."

The link I posted is to a page that comes up free, without a password.

Among other things, that page has links to (password-free) general court

info pages of use to anyone who would prefer to get copies in person

instead of paying the fees the court charges for web access.

 

The court may charge you in person for the price of photocopies;

I trust that doesn't qualify as directing users to a "for-pay site".

 

I do take the rules seriously. Please tell me specifically how I broke one.

And you could spare the (Thanks!) style of sarcasm; direct communication is more constructive.

I did not say that you did.

Someone tell me why someone with a 'prior' for drugs with go through a Customs checkpoint with... drugs?

Hell, same thing happened to Rush 'Viagra' Limbaugh for all the 'conservatives' out there...

[Guest ItsMeDears]

I read today "Men's Central" in LA is the nation's "busiest" and largest prison, sort of the Atlanta Airport or O'Hare of prisons. Even has a gay unit - the story I read online said straights sometimes claim they are gay just to be housed there as it's preferable or something. It was an ACLU story wanting it closed and broken up into smaller facilities and they were mentioning the lack of condoms in the gay unit and rising HIV rate. ACLU made it sound like hell on earth. Made me think of David Forest (was he at that one?) and Mark Dalton (I know he was in Texas State Prison). Fascinating. You know how we loved "Oz".

Thanks for the warning........I think. What was my near-infraction?

You think? lol

 

About a year or so ago, someone from this neck of the woods was harassing Scott and Scott's mother over his escorting career. Even though Scott has not always been my favorite person in the world, I did what I could to help him track the person down.

 

Let's let a judge pass judgement and then the condemnation, or not, can commence post haste. If Scott should be found not guilty, I hope everyone who jumped the gun will be the first to post an apology.

[Guest MickeyMoosie]

Daddy makes the point that shouldn't need to be made: A person is innocent until proven guilty.

 

I guess I'm going to have to make a point that NEEDS to be made.

 

The whole "innocent until proven guilty" construct pertains to a LEGAL PROCEEDING - it has nothing to do with the real world.

 

If you're walking down the street and someone like, say, the Forum's chronic masturbator walks up to you and beats you over the head with his mother's bedpan, you don't have to presume him innocent - YOU WERE THERE. However, if, God forbid, I sat on the jury to try the case, I would be required to presume him innocent until the prosecution proved to me otherwise.

 

What we know concerning the FACTS of "Scott Adler's" case is that he was caught with a controlled substance. None of us is required to presume him innocent when the undisputed facts say otherwise. That will be the jury's job.

 

We here on the Forum have the freedom to rip him, or anyone else, a new cyber-asshole based upon the facts and proclaim him guilty based upon the facts. The jury will not have that luxury, nor should they.

 

So, if posters want to call him names based upon the facts, they should be able to without being treated as though they're jurors.

BON, being myself a victim of a stalker in the past, I can fully relate to your experience.

In the old days HooBoy gave me a great advice how to deal with a stalker and it worked (and still works) to perfection.

That's been my experience, also. I honestly don't know if the charges against him are true or false. I can only judge him based on my personal interaction.

 

I prefer to think of him (and remember him) as a wonderful escort that always made sure I was satisfied... VERY SATISFIED (without a whiff of drugs about him).
