Cheerleading coach boasted of girls, clients, report says

By BRIAN HAYNES
REVIEW-JOURNAL

Esperanza Brooks bragged about her discreet girls and high-end clientele.

But the cheerleading coach turned moonlighting madame name-dropped to the wrong people and landed in jail last week.

Las Vegas police arrested Brooks, 36, and four associates last week after a two-week investigation into the local prostitution ring. The investigation started when a tipster told detectives about a cheerleading coach at Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy who might be running a prostitution service.

When an undercover detective called Brooks, she said her girls were clean and only serviced upscale clients, a police report said. She later boasted that she had more than 40 women working for her and that her clients ranged from basketball star Shaquille O'Neal to a former president, according to the report.

"These are not your average girls. Some of them have worked with Bill Clinton," Brooks told an undercover officer, according to the report.

Police don't have any information to prove or disprove Brooks' clientele claims, Officer Jose Montoya said.

A spokesman for Prism Sports Marketing, which represents O'Neal and Agassi Preparatory, called Brooks a liar.

"It's disgusting that a person in her position would say the kind of things that she said," Rob Powers said. "It's unfair, unwarranted and untrue."

The point is the prostitution… although if Bill Clinton is at it again, that's news.  Now, part II from a blog I like - Green Eyeshade:

Love-$200K – Andre Agassi’s Ace Earmark

Posted by: John Campbell  at 10:00 AM

If you thought you’d heard it all, the Republican Study Committee yesterday revealed that Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-NV) requested a $200,000 earmark for the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy in Las Vegas, NV. The academy, whose website is inactive, was established in 2001 as a tuition free charter school for local "at-risk" children. … This earmark, like the rest of the roughly 1338 earmarks in the Labor-HHS Appropriations bill, needs to be stripped, and it’s up to my colleagues in Congress to do it. They must decide whether to continue their out-of-control spending or to restore fiscal sanity to our government. The ball’s in their court.
