Atlanta Escorts: New prison term for LA terror plot cooperator

Posted on October 30th, 2010 in Atlanta escorts

The story of Meskini’s downfall, told at a hearing earlier this month, provided an unusual look at a turncoat terrorist who tried to rebuild his life — all the more unusual because it was told partly by a prostitute who said he’d helped her cope.
Meskini, 42, thanked his lawyer but otherwise said nothing before U.S. District Judge John F. Keenan sentenced him to 31 months in federal prison. Defense lawyer Mark DeMarco suggested Meskini had been led astray by his surroundings in the crime-riddled complex — a job the judge had faulted federal probation officers for letting Meskini take.

Indeed, he did — to help them, an admitted prostitute named Crystal Roughton told the court earlier this month. She was given immunity for discussing her own crimes.
She said Meskini protected her while she sold herself and an assortment of drugs to feed her crack habit. He helped her create Internet ads, showed her how to check clients’ backgrounds and also helped others involved in drugs and prostitution in the complex in Buckhead, Ga., she said.
