The requested records have demonstrated that [1] police officers associated with the DC.Gov
(MPD) and the PGPD had in 2018 been accused of extorting sexual intercourse from prostitutes
in the D.C and Silver Spring, Maryland area; [2] the DC.Gov (MPD) has disclosed the MOU
they have concluded with the UDC (pursuant to the Jeanne Clery Act) to Michael A. Ayele
(a.k.a) W; [3] the UMD at College Park has disclosed the MOA they have concluded with the
PGPD (pursuant to the Jeanne Clery Act) to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W; [4] D.C. Code Section
22-3001 defines consent as “words or overt actions indicating a freely given agreement to the
sexual act or contact in question;” [5] the UMD is a post-secondary academic institution that
defines “sexual coercion” as the “use of unreasonable pressure in an effort to compel another
individual to initiate or continue sexual activity against the individual’s will;” [6] the UMD is a
post-secondary academic institution, which acknowledges that “coercion include but is not
limited to intimidation, manipulation, threats of emotional or physical harm, and blackmail;”
[7] Alexandra Hunt has previously worked as a stripper when she was a college student; [8]
Alexandra Hunt has obtained a Bachelor and Master’s degree; [9]Alexandra Hunt has faced
personal and professional adverse consequences for working as a stripper when she was a college
student; [10] Alexandra Hunt is as of this writing “running for Congress on a progressive
platform because she believes (…) politicians should fight for systemic change, ensuring equal
W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 3
RECORDS REQUEST 03/15/2022
opportunity and justice for all;” xxiii [11] Alexandra Hunt is a candidate running for Congress in
order to decriminalize sex work; [12] Alexandra Hunt is a candidate running for Congress in
order to reform the criminal justice system.
The core issues raised in this records request are the following. 1) Has your city/county/state
government previously considered decriminalizing sex work? If yes, will you promptly disclose
similar bills to the District of Columbia “Community Safety and Health Amendment Act of 2019”
your city/county/state government previously considered adopting? 2) Have you ever discussed
and/or pursued research on the subject of sex work within the borders of the U.S.A? If yes, will
you promptly disclose those records? 3) Would the decriminalization of sex work decrease and
eradicate the violence committed against women engaged in that specific trade? Would the
decriminalization of sex work reduce the risk of physical harm to women engaged in that
specific trade? Would the decriminalization of sex work reduce the type of coercion the other has
described in 2018? Would the decriminalization of sex work encourage women to report the
sexual violence they may experience? Would the decriminalization of sex work improve the
income of women engaged in that specific trade? Would the decriminalization of sex work
improve the life-style of women engaged that specific trade? 4) Was the retaliation faced by
Alexandra Hunt at her previous place of employment (for speaking on the subject of her work
experience as a stripper) consistent with Title VII of the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act? Were
the calls of former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg requesting the dismissal of Melissa Petro as
a teacher (“after she admitted to her past in sex work”) consistent with Title VII of the 1964 and
1991 Civil Rights Act? Was the dismissal of Heidi Kaeslin from her job as a teacher with
Lincoln Unified School District consistent with Title VII of the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act?
Was the dismissal of Nina Skye from her job as a teacher in a Los Angeles, California Christian
preschool consistent with Title VII of the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act? Was the dismissal of
Stacie Halas from her job as a teacher at the Oxnard School District (for starring in pornographic
films) consistent with Title VII of the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act?
Taking into consideration that the facts I have enumerated (in the first paragraph of my request
for a fee waiver and expedited processing) are likely not going to boost public confidence in the
activities of the U.S government; I would like to take this opportunity to denounce sexual
violence committed against women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual
orientations, their national origins, their religious affiliations and/or their age groups. In my
judgment, the records I have requested to be promptly disclosed [1] have put into question the
government’s integrity and adversely impacted public confidence about the manner in which
women and racial minorities are treated; [2] have identified operations and activities of the U.S
federal, local and state government; [3] are meaningfully informative about government
operations or activities in order to be “likely to contribute” to and increase public understanding
of those operations. I hereby declare under penalty of perjury that all the statements I have made
are to the best of my knowledge true and accurate. Have a good day. Take care. Keep yourselves
at arms distance.

Originally, prison was designed to be temporary, used when people were on trial. However, as
the prison-industrial complex has grown, it now serves capitalism through exploitative labor —
a form of modern-day indentured servitude/slavery. It also upholds white supremacy.
One does not need to boast a law degree to see how criminalization has become about a
person’s identity rather than any grievance they may have committed. The prison-industrial
complex has come to serve the purity model of white supremacy and places individuals into
egregious living conditions if their identity deviates from white supremacy in anyway ― their
race, their sexuality, their gender identity, their economic status, their nationality, or their
occupation.
The criminalization of sex work is based in misogyny. Society sets up women with less capital
than men, less power than men and objectifies our bodies. Sex work turns that power model on
its head and allows women to own our sexuality, own our bodies and use that to bring both
money and power to level the playing field.
As the United States moves through the 21st century, Americans have had to reckon with
evolving and modernizing views on the family ― the single mother, the family with two fathers, a
W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 6
RECORDS REQUEST 03/15/2022
transgender child, an interracial couple, the career-oriented couples or individuals who do not
want to have children ... the list can go on and on. Accepting sex workers into our evolving views
should be relatively easy at this point.
Americans need to start recognizing our humanity and that sex shouldn’t be taboo. It is a natural
part of our lives that we enjoy and that individuals can choose to make their life’s work. After
reflecting on your own enjoyment of sex, doesn’t the criminalization of sex work seem utterly
absurd and discriminatory?
Once in Congress, I will work tirelessly against the notion of criminalized sex work and move the
United States in the direction of reparative law. I believe in accountability and due process that
requires apology and reparations for the harm inflicted by the consequences of another’s actions
― crime and punishment does not fit this model. Prison certainly does not.
Sex work isn’t harmful, it is a person’s choice for occupation, it’s a person’s choice for their
body, and very simply, it’s a person’s choice.
Decriminalizing sex work starts with destigmatization and looking both internally at your own
bias and at policy that contributes to this stigmatization and marginalization of people who have
found a way to own their power. Alexandra Hunt on the Huffington Post.:

iv A U.S. Embassy staffer accused of drugging and sexually assaulting at least 24 women over a
14-year period was in fact a longtime CIA employee, the FBI announced Monday, as the bureau
urged any possible victims to come forward in the case.
Serial molester Brian Jeffrey Raymond, 45, was arrested Oct. 9, 2020, in La Mesa, California,
where he had been staying with his parents after abruptly quitting his job at the U.S. Embassy in
Mexico City. He pleaded guilty this past July to two counts of sexual abuse and one count of
transporting obscene material, and will be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of
his life upon his eventual release from prison.
FBI spokeswoman Samantha Shero confirmed to The Daily Beast that Raymond was working for
the CIA during his embassy posting in Mexico. She declined to provide further details about his
exact position with the spy agency. A CIA spokesperson told The Daily Beast in an emailed
statement, “CIA condemns in the strongest terms the crimes committed by former Agency officer
Brian Jeffrey Raymond.” A source familiar with the case said the CIA took administrative action
after Raymond’s arrest, and that he resigned from his position soon after.
As The Daily Beast previously reported, the investigation into the veteran CIA man began after a
passerby spotted a “naked, hysterical woman desperately screaming for help” on the terrace of
a Mexico City apartment leased by the U.S. Embassy. Investigators later uncovered nearly 500
photographs and video footage of numerous women passed out in Raymond’s bed. In some, a
W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 7
RECORDS REQUEST 03/15/2022
man can be seen holding open the victims’ eyelids, waving their limp arms and legs around, or
putting his fingers in their mouths to demonstrate that they are unconscious, according to court
filings.
A nude and obviously aroused Raymond, who passed more than 10 polygraph exams during his
government career, is pictured in several of the images.
Raymond, who speaks Spanish and Mandarin Chinese and worked in at least six different
countries over some 20 years of federal service that Raymond’s defense team described as
“exemplary,” met his unsuspecting victims on Bumble, Hinge, and other dating apps. After
meeting Raymond for a date, his victims reported “drinking alcohol supplied and/or prepared by
Raymond and experiencing memory loss during their time with Raymond,” states Raymond’s
plea agreement. At least nine of Raymond’s attacks occurred in his official government
residence.
Raymond’s online footprint was nearly nonexistent, and his vague job description led to
speculation that he was an undercover operative rather than a State Department worker.
He continued to carry out his repugnant rape spree even after he knew he was under
investigation, then unsuccessfully tried to wipe the incriminating evidence from his phone,
documents show. None of the women were capable of consent when they were assaulted, none
consented to being recorded while in that state, and few had any memory of the events in
question, according to authorities. Investigators uncovered “numerous” chats between Raymond
and the women he assaulted in which they apologize for blacking out, ask Raymond if they had
sex, and appear to have no recollection of what happened the night before.
When investigators looked into Raymond’s online search history, they discovered he had looked
for phrases including “passed out black girl,” “deep sleep,” “Ambien and alcohol and pass
out,” “dissolve,” and “passed out and carried.” One set of photos depicted Raymond abusing
an unconscious woman, exposing her breast and pulling down her shorts. The next morning,
Raymond texted the woman, according to investigators.
“Hopefully you aren’t too hung over today,” he said.
“Hey!” the woman replied, obviously unaware as to what had happened. “Yesterday was rough.
I had a massive hangover... lol. I had fun too! We have to do it again.”
On their second date, the woman and Raymond went to a wine bar then headed back to her
place, where she opened a bottle of red wine for them to share. At one point, she left the bottle
unattended while the two stepped out onto the balcony. When Raymond went inside to use the
bathroom, he came back out with the wine bottle and refilled both of their glasses. But the
woman soon felt woozy and felt like she was going to faint. The last thing she remembered was
telling Jeffrey that she needed to lie down. Later, the woman woke up with a fully clothed Jeffrey
in bed beside her.
W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 8
RECORDS REQUEST 03/15/2022
Although she was still having trouble standing, the woman—who had no idea she had been
sexually assaulted until she was eventually interviewed by investigators—noticed that Raymond
didn’t appear impaired at all.
Raymond was arrested last October outside a gym in California. Just days before he was caught,
he spent the night with a woman he met online who told cops she “believes she had sex with
[Raymond] at least three times, but she only has small fragments of memory of the encounters,”
court filings stated.
Raymond is scheduled to be sentenced in Washington, D.C. federal court on Feb. 7. His
attorneys did not respond to a request for comment. U.S Embassy Staffer Who Drugged,

v If you've followed public debate over sex work and trafficking in recent decades, you've
probably seen some variation on this sentence: "The average age of entry into prostitution is
13."
Statistics have a reputation for being dull, but this one packs a punch. In only nine words, it
conjures up a story worthy of Dickens. Hear that statistic, and you can't help but imagine the
faces of children, as fragile and guileless as porcelain dolls; you imagine, too, the fear on those
faces, and the violence that will be done to them to feed the greed and perverted desires of
figures lurking in the shadows. Those nine words tell you that this is not a story that is the
exception, but rather, the norm in the industry. A person would have to have a rare degree of
monstrousness not to feel their heart break, just a little, on hearing such cruelty described so
starkly.
Except for one thing: There is little basis for the claim that 13—or 12, as is sometimes asserted—
is the age that most sex workers begin working in prostitution. (…)
The biggest problem with the claim is that it automatically remakes any discussion about sex
work into its own image. When you start the conversation believing that prostitution is rooted in
the rape of children, any suggestion that sex workers can be adults who have made an economic
choice sounds like an attempt to provide cover for the rapists.
"It distorts the dialogue because it's a very narrow view of how the sex industry functions,"
Audacia Ray says. "It also means the impulse is that all people in the sex industry are victims of
their situation who are disempowered and have no autonomy and no other skills. That's really
damaging. And also, when you treat a whole population as victims, that very process is
victimizing because it takes away agency and individual narratives about how they got there."
Kristina Dolgin, a former sex worker and activist with the San Francisco chapter of the Sex
Workers Outreach Project (SWOP-Bay) agrees: "By framing the discourse around sex work—
W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 9
RECORDS REQUEST 03/15/2022
and prostitution specifically—around children, you are taking away the agency of people and
instilling a moral panic.”
The result is policies that are ostensibly intended to help people in the sex industries, but are
created and implemented without input from the workers themselves. As an example, Dolgin
points to the CASE Act (Californians Against Sexual Exploitation), which was voted into law in
the 2012 elections as Proposition 35. The law expanded the definition of human trafficking much
more broadly than previously existing guidelines to include virtually anyone gaining financial
benefit from someone else's sex work. "It does not differentiate between the various kinds of
people engaging in the work,” Dolgin says. "Human trafficking could incorporate a manager, it
could incorporate staff, it could incorporate a friend who is looking out for your safety, it could
incorporate partners who are sharing a living space with you—there is no statutory end to that
definition.”
Although the rhetoric of advocates depicted the CASE act as a tool that would improve the lives
of people in the sex industries, it was strongly opposed by sex-worker activists. It was, however,
endorsed by a long list of law-enforcement organizations, like the California Statewide Law
Enforcement Association and the Fraternal Order of Police. In the end, Proposition 35 passed
with an overwhelming majority of 81.1 percent. Is One of the Most-Cited Statistics About Sex

vii Pornhub and several affiliated companies have settled a lawsuit brought by 50 women who
alleged it profited from pornographic videos published without their full consent. (…)
The lawsuit filed last December in U.S. district court in California alleged that MindGeek,
parent company of Pornhub, knew or should have known that one of its commercial partners
regularly used fraud and coercion to get women to appear in videos.
The lawsuit initially involved 40 women, including three Canadians, but it was later
expanded to include 10 additional women and other businesses connected to MindGeek were
added as defendants.
The original court filing alleged that MindGeek did not end a partnership with GirlsDoPorn
until that company’s operators were charged by U.S. authorities in November 2019. (…)
The lawsuit also claimed that MindGeek-owned websites did not remove videos when
requested by the women who appeared in them. In some of those requests, the women
explicitly stated that they were coerced, the suit alleged. W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 10
RECORDS REQUEST 03/15/2022
In January 2020, a California state court awarded 22 women who had appeared in
GirlsDoPorn videos nearly US$13 million in damages.
While MindGeek is legally headquartered in Luxembourg, its main office is in Montreal. (…)
The company confirmed that a settlement had been reached and said that the details were
confidential.
“MindGeek has zero tolerance for the posting of illegal content on its platforms, and has
instituted a comprehensive, industry-leading trust and safety policy to identify and eradicate
any illegal material from its community,” the company said in an unsigned statement.
A joint request to dismiss the suit was filed with the court on Oct. 15.
MindGeek also faces a class-action lawsuit involving 30 women that was filed in another
California federal court in June. Pornhub settles lawsuit brought by 50 women, including
Canadians. Global News.: https://globalnews.ca/news/8286778/pornhub-lawsuit-settlement/
Pornhub's parent company has settled a lawsuit brought by 50 women who said they were
victims of a sex-trafficking operation.
The women said that Girls Do Porn, an adult content provider, coerced them into having sex on
camera and lied about how the material would be shared.
The 50 women had sued Pornhub, alleging the firm knew of the allegations but continued a
partnership anyway.
Terms of the settlement were not made public.
In a statement, Pornhub parent company MindGeek said it had zero tolerance over the posting of
illegal content on its platforms.
"The Parties reached a mutual resolution to resolve the dispute and the terms are confidential ,”
Brian Holm, the lawyer who represented the women said in an emailed statement.
Girls Do Porn was a part of MindGeek's partner programmes until October 2019, when the US
Department of Justice effectively shut the porn producer down by arresting and charging its
senior staff with sex trafficking and other offences.
It had uploaded numerous explicit videos to Pornhub and other public websites. Pornhub
removed these videos after charges against Girls Do Porn were filed by US authorities.
Girls Do Porn allegedly operated by advertising modelling jobs. Young women who applied
W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 11
RECORDS REQUEST 03/15/2022
were later told the work in fact involved making pornographic videos.
They were allegedly told that the job would be anonymous and that their videos would not be
posted on the web, but were being made for DVDs of private collectors or far-flung markets.
However, the videos were later distributed publicly via sites including Pornhub according to US
Attorneys.
In the complaint for damages against Mindgeek it was alleged that victims had sent the company
"complaints detailing the fraud and coercion they were subject to by Girls Do Porn" but the
company had not ended the partnership. The first court case on behalf of victims was lodged in
June 2016.
"MindGeek has zero tolerance for the posting of illegal content on its platforms, and has
instituted a comprehensive, industry-leading trust and safety policy to identify and eradicate any
illegal material from its community," MindGeek said in a statement. Pornhub owner settles with

viii Pressure has mounted since the New York Times published a piece accusing the site of
profiting from abusive content, with Visa and Mastercard announcing they would no longer
process payments to Pornhub.
The site has scrambled to respond, announcing measures last week against content uploaded by
people who had not been verified as well as saying on Monday that it took action against clips
already on the platform.
"As part of our policy to ban unverified uploaders, we have now also suspended all previously
uploaded content that was not created by content partners or members of the Model Program,”
the site said in a statement, referring to verification of the ages of people in videos.
"This means every piece of Pornhub content is from verified uploaders, a requirement that
platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat and Twitter have yet to
institute,” it added.
Going forward, only content partners and people who earn ad revenue from their videos will be
able to upload to the site, and a new user verification process would be rolled out next year.
The Times piece claims that of the 6.8 million new videos posted each year on the site, "many"
depict "child abuse and nonconsensual violence," including scenes of incest and women being
asphyxiated in plastic bags.
Based in Canada, but registered in Luxembourg, Pornhub had 42 billion visits last year and
generates revenues through advertising as well as paid subscriptions for premium content.
The company is not new to controversy.

In 2019, several groups, including Unilever and Kraft Heinz distanced themselves from Pornhub
after an article in Britain's Sunday Times identified videos with sexual content involving
children.
"It is clear that Pornhub is being targeted not because of our policies and how we compare to
our peers, but because we are an adult content platform," the site said in its statement.
The Canadian government has announced that it will propose legislation in 2021 to force online
platforms to remove any illegal content. Pornhub pulls ‘unverified’ user clips amid abuse video

xvi State officials have affirmed a Northern California school district's decision to fire a 37-year-
old high school teacher accused of using a school-issued laptop to help set up pornographic
websites.
A three-member panel from the state Office of Administrative Hearings said it found that
numerous files on the Lincoln Unified School District laptop once used by Heidi Kaeslin were
pornographic, lewd, vulgar or repugnant. It also said her conduct was immoral.
The school board on Wednesday adopted the panel's March 29 ruling, The Record of Stockton
reported Thursday.
Kaeslin was a special education teacher and former girls' soccer coach at Lincoln High School
in Stockton when she was fired last year. The district accused Kaeslin of keeping thousands of
pornographic and erotic images on her school-issued laptop, then lying about her activities
when administrators questioned her.
The district said it was subject to embarrassment due to the now-defunct websites and other
online references to Kaeslin's involvement with them, which officials say lasted from late 2010
until at least April 2011.
Kaeslin has said her involvement in the websites with former Stockton police officer Richard
Fields, who was assigned to the high school as a resource officer, lasted only a few days.
Kaeslin told the newspaper last month that she is the victim of a vendetta by her estranged
W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 15
RECORDS REQUEST 03/15/2022
husband, who was angered by her extramarital affair with Fields.
Kaeslin said she and her husband are embroiled in divorce proceedings and share custody of
their two young children. She said she used working on the websites as a pretext for spending
time with Fields.
"From Day One, Rich wanted my help, and we joked about how we're business partners because
that was the way that we could have our affair,” Kaeslin said.
Kaeslin said she admits using the district laptop to access files containing pornographic
material. But she added she purposely did not save the files to the computer's hard drive and
never realized they would nonetheless remain on the device.
Kaeslin said if she had been assisting Fields in the "hot-air balloon business,” she “wouldn't be
in the same spot.” Fields has said the allegations against Kaeslin were overblown.
“I did make a bad decision,” Kaeslin said. “When I said that I stopped, I felt like I corrected that
part of my bad decision-making process”
Kaeslin said her mistakes included the affair. She added: "Yeah, I made some bad choices. Do I
feel like I should be fired over it? No.”
The district said Kaeslin has until April 26 to ask the state panel to reconsider its ruling, and
until May 27 to appeal the decision in court. Stockton teacher, fired over porn: “I did make a bad

Suraya Fadel, reporting for CBS2 and KCAL9, said the document revealed Halas not only had

payments and groceries. (…)
Halas said she earned $1,500 per role and made about $18,000 in all during her tenure with a
Simi Valley-based porn company from 2005-2006.
The document also showed while Halas was under investigation from the school district she
worried the porn would come to light and cost her her job.
Fadel said she wrote two emails to the company trying to keep her past buried. In one email she
wrote, “Please help me. This video has somehow linked to my real name. I have been teaching
now for nearly ten years and this is putting me in a situation of losing my job.”
In another email she reportedly wrote, “Please block this video. I am a teacher involved with the
school district over this video and this site … I hope that you understand the defamation of my
character that this has caused.” (…)
Tuesday, a three-judge panel concluded that the “on-going availability” of her porn material on
the internet “will continue to impede her from being an effective teacher and respected

A California man pleaded guilty today to sexual abuse and admitted to the abusive contact of
numerous women, as well as photographing and recording dozens of nude and partially nude
women without their consent during his career as a U.S government employee.
According to court documents, Brian Jeffrey Raymond, 45, of La Mesa, was most recently
employed by the U.S government at the U.S Embassy in Mexico City, Mexico. Raymond
departed Mexico after an adult woman was observed nude and screaming for help from his
balcony on May 31, 2020. The woman reported she had no memory of events after consuming
drinks and food provided by Raymond. (…)
In the plea agreement, Raymond admitted he engaged in sexual intercourse with two of the
W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 17
RECORDS REQUEST 03/15/2022
victims depicted in the recordings when both were incapable of appraising the nature of the
conduct or consenting to it. These offenses occurred on May 30, 2020, and March 26, 2020, in
Raymond’s embassy-leased residence in Mexico City. Additionally, Raymond admitted that over
the course of 14 years he recorded and/or photographed at least 24 unconscious and nude or
partially nude women and touched the breasts, buttocks, groin area and/or genitalia of
numerous women while they were incapable of consent. Raymond transported these obscene
materials, specifically 479 photographs and videos of 20 unconscious and nude or partially nude
women, into the United States. While under investigation, Raymond attempted to delete the
photographs and videos from his devices and internet accounts and made materially false
statement to law enforcement. (…)
Raymond will be sentenced at a date to be determined and faces a maximum penalty of life in
prison, a fine of $250,000, a term of supervised release of at least five years and mandatory
restitution. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S

xxi Linda Lopez, a federal magistrate judge in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
California, said this month that Mr. Raymond was a “danger to the community and a flight risk”
and ordered that he be held in custody, pending trial.
She said that prosecutors had presented evidence that he had continued to meet women, even
though he knew he was under investigation. One of those women told investigators that she had
sex with Mr. Raymond after going on several dates with him in September, during which she
became “very intoxicated.”
“From all outward appearances he has led an exemplary life,” Judge Lopez wrote. But the
allegations that he photographed women while they were unconscious, she said, suggests he had
a “unique ability to portray a very different public face.” Prosecutors Call Former Embassy
