SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The operators of an international website advertising escort services will be allowed to post bail while they await trial on charges of pimping by trafficking prostitutes, a California judge decided Thursday.
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Michael Bowman ruled after a secret hearing that the Backpage.com operators have enough assets that are not tied to the website, which California authorities allege are ill-gotten gains that should not be used to post bail.
The California attorney general’s office charges that the website brought in millions of dollars each month through thinly disguised online advertisements for commercial sex, some involving minors.
Backpage attorney Liz McDougall said the site’s chief executive, Carl Ferrer, 55, would post $500,000 bail Thursday. Ferrer is charged with pimping a minor, pimping and conspiracy to commit pimping.
The former owners of the Village Voice in New York City, Michael Lacey, 68, and James Larkin, 67, would post $250,000 each, she said…

China, Bangladesh to sign investment pacts during Xi visit
– canadianbusiness.com
DHAKA, Bangladesh – Chinese President Xi Jinping has begun a visit to Bangladesh during which the two countries are to sign agreements on billions of dollars of Chinese investment in infrastructure and energy.
Xi, the first Chinese president to visit Bangladesh in 30 years, was received by Bangladesh President Abdul Hamid at Dhaka’s airport on Friday.
Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Kong Xuanyou said Bangladesh is an important partner of China in South Asia, and the visit will be a “milestone” in their relationship.
The two countries have good economic ties. Chinese contractors have been building bridges and highways in Bangladesh, and Dhaka buys most of its military equipment from China.
Xi leaves for New Delhi on Saturday to attend a summit of five BRICS countries — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
