Racy Calvin Klein Ad Infuriates Prudes, Again

Just months after Calvin Klein pulled down a risqué billboard amidst complaints from neighbors and a Christian advocacy group, the jeans and skivvies manufacturer has installed a new ad on the same wall that has once again sparked controversy among the prudes in SoHo, according to the Daily News. Filling a space that recently depicted a denim-clad threesome (or foursome depending on your perspective), the new ad shows a sweaty Eva Mendez in lingerie tugging at a male model's briefs.

Special Ed Teacher Accused of Impregnating 15-Year-Old

Yesterday police arrested a special education teacher for the Bronx School Of Science Inquiry and Investigation at M.S. 331, charging him with rape and sexual misconduct. Teacher Bill Agosto, 26, is charged with third degree rape and sexual misconduct for allegedly carrying on a year-long sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl, who was not a student at M.S. 331. Police sources tell the Daily News the relationship was consensual, and resulted in the girl getting pregnant. The affair allegedly began when he worked at a different school as a track coach.

Not Your Standard Peep Show

The Standard is casting more than just a shadow over the High Line, its guests are giving park-goers a full-on peep show. The NY Post reports that many go beyond showing off their naughty bits to passerby—they also have sex, masturbate and even film professional pornos. Heavens to Murgatroyd! Who will save the children? Not hotel management.

Wife Of Guy In Sex Harassment Suit Would Like Topless Photos Back, Plus $1M

Two female assistants to a hedge fund financier are suing for sexual harassment because he made one of them develop topless photos of his wife and, when she delivered the racy pics, allegedly gave her "a perverted smirk" and asked, "You liked them, didn't you?" Danielle Pecile, 26, and Cristina Culicea, 27, filed a joint lawsuit with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission—Culicea says she was harassed when Titan Capital CEO Russell Abrams tasked her to develop a photo of him and his newlywed Sandra in a bathtub.

Man Beaten When Mom's Cries Of Ecstasy Were Misunderstood

Sometimes when a man and a woman love each other very much, they become physically intimate and express their passion vocally. And sometimes children can mistake mommy's cries of pleasure for howling anguish, and rush to her aide. Such was the awkward and violent scenario that erupted on June 6th when a 16-year-old Connecticut girl heard screams coming from her mother's bedroom and thought she was being murdered. So she called her friends, who burst into the bedroom and beat 25-year-old Roger Swanson with their fists and a bat. (He was hospitalized with a black eye and several bruises.) The girl's mother, Melanie Arnold, 34, denies screaming and says her daughter only heard a slap, but police Lt. Bruce Whiteley insists it was the amorous crying that alarmed the girl, who was arrested Tuesday night along with her three friends. Swanson says the teens never gave him a chance to explain, and tells AP, "What if they fight someone else and those guys don't walk away? What if they kill somebody? Then they're going to spend the rest of their lives in jail. These kids need to learn." Yeah, they need to learn a lot of things. Kids grow up so slow these days!

Middle School Teacher Busted in Teen Sex Sting

A Westchester County middle school social studies teacher and former lacrosse coach has a $500 a week crack addiction and a penchant for underage girls, prosecutors say. Gregg Cavaluzzi, who has taught at six schools (some in NYC) over the last decade but was recently dismissed from Pelham Middle School, was caught in a sting by cops posing as 15-year-old girls in online chat rooms. Thinking an undercover cop was a teen, he allegedly texted, "At a motel in Bronx partying you smoke? Can you get down here" and asked what's "one thing you like to do very dirty." Cavaluzzi was busted when he showed up in Elmsford, NY, for the rendezvous and was charged with enticing a minor for sex, which could get him up to life in prison if convicted. A previous student of Cavaluzzi tells CBS2, "[The girls] used to talk about how he was such a pervert and they all found it very disgusting. He might look at different body parts thinking the girls wouldn't notice but everybody noticed." Cavaluzzi denies the charges; his lawyer says his client suffers from depression and cocaine addiction.

Cops: Angry Mom Directed Craigslist Sex Seekers to Neighbor

Step aside Scarsdale Mad Mom—a new case study in dysfunctional parenting has surfaced on Long Island, where Suffolk police have arrested a Hauppauge woman who they say used a fake "Casual Encounters" ad on Craigslist to direct nearly two dozen calls from horny men to her neighbor's home phone number. Why would she do this? Because she was allegedly trying to get revenge on the neighbor's 9-year-old daughter, who'd been fighting with her own child. 40-year-old Margery Tannenbaum was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated harassment for giving out the phone number in February to desperate Craigslist Casanovas looking for an NSA good time. Her lawyer tells Newsday, "My view on this is it's gone way too far. She's a good woman. She's a good wife. She's really a good person. I just can't see why anyone would want to put this in the news media... if the interest is about the children, which it should be. We're looking forward to our day in court." Oh, so are we!

Sex Cells at 3rd Ward

Oh dear. Remember when Manet's Le déjeuner sur l'herbe (aka Luncheon on the Grass) was a huge scandal to those prudish art critics back in the 1800s? Well they'd certainly be shielding their eyes and turning their noses up at the 3rd Ward's latest exhibit—the Brooklyn establishment just announced an open call for those upskirt shots you've been saving on your cell phone. (You know who you are.) They're specifically asking for "well-executed, erotic expressions made only with a cell phone." Videos, photos and texts will all be accepted, and the winner will take home 500 bucks—enough to buy a mediocre SLR for a future in less pixelated porn. Meanwhile, the best of the best will be picked for a future group show. While their Sex Cells submission form comes with a disclaimer, nowhere does it say that the subject of your pervy pics need to be made aware of their possible public display. You are all fair game!

As One Hasid Pleads Guilty to Child Rape, Another's Indicted

Look, we try not to pepper these Hasidic stories with cliche Yiddish catchphrases, but if ever an Oy Vey was in order... Just as one Hasidic man pleads guilty to charges of rape, sodomy and child endangerment, another's been indicted on charges of sexually abusing a teenage boy for years. Yesterday David Silverman entered a guilty plea to end his trial, which stemmed from charges that he used MySpace to lure teenage girls from Westchester to a nightclub-style porn set near the Javits Center, where he'd get them drunk and videotape the sex.

L.I. Teacher Couldn't Stop Having Sex With Her Student

Hours after a Long Island teacher was released from jail after serving time for her relationship with a 16-year-old student, she was arrested again because authorities found she contacted him while behind bars. A year ago, Wantagh High math teacher Heather Kennedy was charged with statutory rape after an interlude with the student in the Massapequa High School parking lot (he later confessed to his dad, who called the police). She faced additional charges a few months later when authorities found that Kenney had sex with the student repeatedly (at her grandparents' house, at a friend's house) after she pleaded guilty. Now Newsday reports, "Authorities said they became aware Friday night that Kennedy had written the letters"—which were given to the teen by a third party—"and they arrested her at her home at 2 a.m. Saturday." Kennedy, who must give up her teaching license and register as a Level 3 sex offender, was scolded by the judge, who said, "Your conduct, based upon your position in society, is very serious. We certainly have to discourage it from ever happening again."

Sex, Peeing, Drunken Antics at Hoboken St. Patty's Parade

Hoboken Public Safety Director Bill Bergin is so fed up with the city's St. Patrick's Day Parade that he wants to cancel next year's parade. He described the chaos on Saturday to Hoboken Now, "On Washingtion Street, bottles were thrown onto the people below. A girl and a guy were performing sex in a window when the parade was going by. One person spit in the face of a fireman. There were young, young girls that were blind drunk standing in the middle of the streets, so drunk that they didn't know where they were." And don't forget people were also urinating from rooftops—apparently most of disturbances were not bars but from "house parties." Hoboken mayor David Roberts and other officials will be discussing the parade and its future. Bergin said, "People talk about how much money the city makes from the parade. But if four or five people go falling off one of these roofs, there's no way to make up for this with fines."

Ex-Met Embroiled in $15 Million Sex Lawsuit

Former Met Roberto Alomar, the great second baseman with 10 Golden Gloves and 12 All-Star appearances, is being sued by a former girlfriend for $15 million. The charges? The Daily News reports that Queens resident Ilya Dall claims "Alomar has full-blown AIDS but insisted on having unprotected sex."

Brooklyn Teacher Caught in Child Sex Sting

26-year-old Brighton Beach high school teacher Alexander Kravitz was arrested this week in a Queens hotel room, where prosecutors say he hoped to make a porn video with a 14-year-old girl to whom he'd been sending salacious instant messages and graphic live webcam video of himself. But the girl did not exist—Kravitz had been communicating with an undercover detective for the last six weeks. According to 1010 Wins, he could get four years in jail if convicted of several charges. After being released on $75,000 bail, Kravitz angrily cursed reporters outside his mother's Queens home, where he resides. It's also where detectives found his porno stash, which police say included images of sex with children ranging from in age from 13 to infants. Kravitz's mother Katherine told the Daily News, "I don't believe any of it. It has to be a mistake. I've never seen any young man work so hard. I don't see how he'd even have the time."

Lawyer Arrested After Internet Blackmail Sex Scheme Goes Wrong

All tax attorney Steven Klig (allegedly!) wanted was that special feeling of empowerment that comes from blackmailing an ex-lover into sending naked photographs of herself. But then she had to ruin everything by blabbing to the FBI about his demanding e-mails, in which he threatened to post a scandalous video montage of their sexual encounters on the Internet. One such email was (allegedly!) sent while the 44-year-old Klig—a partner at finance giant Deloitte—was vacationing with his family at Disney World. (Which, to be fair, can make one creepily horny.) The e-mail, obtained by the Post, goes a little something like, "Just to give you a head's up. I've been doing a little editing on our video. Mostly some blurring of myself so that I won't be recognized. You, on the other hand, can be seen very clearly having the time of your life being f---ed by me." After an investigation, Klig was arrested Monday and charged with extortion, harassment, and generally acting (allegedly!) like a world class scumbag.

Might as well check your trenchcoat with the Skycap, fellas; American Airlines has reversed course and decided to filter pornographic content on its in-flight Internet service. You'll recall that flight attendants had been pressuring the airline to block porn because they didn't want to police pervs who can't go a couple hours without pleasuring themselves to Edward Penishands or Sex Trek: The Next Penetration. Wired reports that Girls Against Porn has also been lobbying American to install filters, citing a lawsuit against American over a particularly nauseating masturbatory incident that, incidentally, occurred without pornographic inspiration. Of course privacy rights advocates are alarmed that once airlines take away the pornos, they'll start blocking other sites like maybe all the ones trashing American Airlines.

Gina Rousett of New Jersey says a Jet Blue flight attendant was way too attentive on her flight back to Newark from Fort Lauderdale. The incident happened over seven months ago and led to the arrest of Dayne Arokium and his termination from the airline, but Rousett's just now telling her creepy story to CBS2. After some friendly chitchat during boarding, Rousett says Arokium told her "he was going to have nobody sit next to me because I was all his...He kept telling me that he wanted me. At one point he said, 'You know you want me,' and [he was] always grabbing himself, all the time." When those moves failed to romance Rousett, the amorous attendant showed her a naked photo of himself on his cell phone. Arokium admits showing her the photo, but denies grabbing Rousett's butt or "acting in a harassing manner."

A state judge has ruled that a 77-year-old Bay Ridge tax lawyer must pay back taxes after wrongfully deducting more than $300,000 for prostitutes, porn, sex toys and erotic massages. After the verdict, the defendant William Halby told the Post, "I live a solitary life. I have no social life. I needed that release." So he dutifully documented each liaison in a notebook titled "Tax Journal," in case he ever got audited. Turns out that in 2002 alone, Halby deducted $111,364 for "therapeutic sex" and massages "to relieve osteoarthritis and enhance erectile function through frequent orgasm." He argued that the write-offs were necessary medical expenses. But because "significant portions" of his sex therapy was, you know, illegal, they can't be written off. The state auditor also argued that "in addition to being illegal in New York State, these expenses are not substantiated with receipts."

There was plenty of buzz Monday about Radar's investigative report on $2,000 an hour hipster hookers, but that wasn't the week's only close-up on the oldest profession. A bit further down market, to say the least, the Villager's Laurie Mittelmann pals around with transgender street walkers in the West Village: "While shoes may also pain the feet of males and females, underwear can present unique problems for pre-operation transgender women. They want foxy little numbers, but still need to cover bulging male genitalia." And just like the author of the Radar story, Mittelmann also turns down a paranoid john who approached her for "'rocks and sex.' Apparently, he thought there was a chance this reporter was an undercover cop. 'You’re either going to hook me up with some fun, or hook me up in cuffs,' he said, licking his lips and kneading his pants." Demonstrating enormous self-control, Mittelmann somehow resisted his charms.

After years of hemorrhaging film production business to cheaper locations like Canada, New York City is seeing a spike in movie shoots, back up to the pre-9/11 level. Bloomberg reports that the city saw a 36% rise in production last year, with over 245 movies and television shows shot citywide in 2007. A consulting group hired by the mayor’s office determined that the industry pumps $5 billion a year into the economy and employs some 100,000 people.

New York City as Neverland is hardly a new concept ever since J. M. Barrie created the fictional land where no one grows up. But lately, it seems little bit real, and Boinkology is the latest to pick up on the concept, using Tumblr creator David Karp -- who said, “It’s really easy to be slutty these day" -- as a muse.

Surprise, surprise: Eliot Spitzer is being linked to Kristin "Billie" Davis's prostitution ring, which got busted earlier this week. Wicked Models, the East Side Madam's operation, toppled on Tuesday, and it looks like it's going to bring down some clients with it (rumor is the list is 10,000 strong).

Has a Sex and the City star been caught doing the dirty deed on film? Kristin Davis (aka Charlotte York-Goldenblatt) reportedly has a sex tape floating around out there, and this particular scene wasn't meant for major motion picture audiences. At the moment, only the photos have leaked -- which you can see here (warning: the images do not include innocent Pinkberry frozen yogurt, and are decidedly NSFW!).

Congratulations, America! You're having less sex than almost anyone else! According to the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey, Americans get it on less often than most, with only 53% having regular, weekly action (and with only 44% actually reporting being satisfied with their sex lives).

The Atlantic is asking if today's McMansions are tomorrow's tenements in an article titled The Next Slum. It seems suburban developments nationwide are seeing the same problems the city streets are: druggies, homeless, grafitti, gang activity, broken windows, stray bullets, and even in Pleasantville copper wire is a commodity.
