Dennis Hof has revolutionized the industry of legal prostitution. Purchasing
the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in 1992, he took the Nevada brothel business out of
the shadows of society and brought it directly into America's living rooms.
Launching the hit show "Cathouse" on HBO in 2002, the reality style look
into the sex industry is now in it's 13th season, airing in 49 countries in
27 languages. Hof himself is a larger than life persona who is a regular on
major TV networks and cable news channels. From Oprah Winfrey to Saturday
Night Live, "The Bunny Ranch" has become an instantly recognizable reference
in American culture. Rock stars have referenced him in song, and pundits
have looked to him as a reliably opinionated panelist and commentator.
Hof's notoriety has taken him around the world, including an invitation to
speak at Oxford University in England, joining six U.S. presidents in
receiving that honor. Expanding his empire beyond "America's Cathouse" in
1996 and again in 2011, Hof added five more brothel licenses to his
portfolio, now accounting for ownership of a third of the entire industry.
His brand now blankets the entire state, with the Bunny Ranch, Love Ranch
North and Kit Kat brothels located near Reno, while the Alien Cathouse and
Love Ranch South brothels are just outside of Las Vegas. Dennis maintains
an exhaustive media schedule, regularly doing as many as eight television
and radio shows in a day. By night, Hof is equally active with his social
life, being known as a regular at The Playboy Mansion as well as awards
shows, premieres, and other celebrity events.

Arnaldo (Arnie) Pagliarini Lerma (born November 18, 1950) is an American writer and activist, a former Scientologist, and critic of Scientology, who has appeared in television, media and radio interviews. Lerma was the first person to post the court document known as the Fishman Affidavit using his real identity, including the Xenu story, to the internet via the Usenet newsgroup alt.religion.scientology.
Lerma started in Scientology at the age of 16 at the urging of his mother, an executive director for the Washington, DC church. He was impressed by L. Ron Hubbard's exaggerated account of his military career and scientific credentials. Lerma joined Scientology's Sea Org and was assigned in 1976 to a post working alongside Hubbard's daughter Suzette. He claims they became romantically involved and planned to elope. Lerma alleges that other Sea Org officers discovered their plans and threatened to mutilate him if he did not cancel the marriage. Lerma quit Scientology soon afterward.
After Lerma posted the Fishman Affidavit in August 1995, his home was raided by federal marshals and lawyers from the Church of Scientology, alleging he was in possession of copyrighted documents.A lawsuit was filed against Lerma and his Internet service provider by the church's Religious Technology Center, (RTC), claiming copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation.
The Washington Post and two investigative reporters were added to the lawsuit, as an article written about the raid contained three brief quotes from Scientology "Advanced Technology" documents.[5] The Washington Post, et al. were released from the suit when USDJ Leonie Brinkema ruled in a memorandum on November 28, 1995:
"When the RTC first approached the Court with its ex parte request for the seizure warrant and temporary restraining order, the dispute was presented as a straightforward one under copyright and trade secret law. However, the Court is now convinced that the primary motivation of RTC in suing Lerma, DGS and The Post is to stifle criticism of Scientology in general and to harass its critics. As the increasingly vitriolic rhetoric of its briefs and oral argument now demonstrates, the RTC appears far more concerned about criticism of Scientology than vindication of its secrets."
(Memorandum Opinion of November 28, 1995, by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema; Religious Technology Center v. Arnaldo Lerma, Washington Post, Mark Fisher, and Richard Leiby)
The Memorandum Opinion acknowledges what Scientology practices to this day: the "Fair Game" policy, a written directive by L. Ron Hubbard that encourages harassment of anyone who speaks out against the church. In conclusion, the court awarded RTC the statutory minimum of $2,500 for five instances of non-willful copyright violation.
Arnie Lerma started a website "Lermanet" which concentrates on news about Scientology and on documenting lawsuits by Scientology.
Arnie Lerma is also noted for discovering an altered picture on a Scientology website on New Year's Eve in 1999, one that appeared to inflate the number of members attending a millennial event at the Los Angeles Sports Arena in California. He posted the pictures to his website identifying the alterations, with the most prominent feature being the "man with no head." The story appeared on national television and in the press.

Author Carolina Sarassa is an award-winning news reporter, now anchor of the national nightly news for Latino network MundoFox. She was the first to break the story of the shocking murder, and became the journalist who forged the closest association with the key players, including Flores’ roommate, parents and former boyfriends. “Dancing on Her Grave: The Murder of a Las Vegas Showgirl” brings Sarassa’s unparalleled chronicle of events to life, providing readers with a detailed depiction of this tragic true crime. But beyond the investigation, and beyond the trial is a moving cautionary tale of one of society’s most urgent social problems – domestic violence.
An ambiguous text message Debbie left behind for her mother led authorities to her charismatic boyfriend, Jason “Blu” Griffith, a fellow Vegas dancer. When the details of the crime unfolded, Blu was hiding a terrible secret, one that involved a rental van, bags of cement, two plastic tubs, and a handsaw. Debbie’s dreams of a dazzling career became a nightmare. How could a girl with such passion and promise come to an end so violent and unexpected? In time, the truth would reveal a life more tumultuous than believed – and what exactly transpired on Debbie’s tragic final day will blow readers minds.

John Morgan was born in Rotorua, New Zealand in 1957, and has lived in Australia for the last 26 years. He and his wife currently reside in Redcliffe, on the shores of Moreton Bay, near Brisbane.
John is an investigative writer with a diploma in journalism from the Australian College of Journalism. He completed his first book titled Flying Free in 2005 – about life inside a fundamentalist cult.
In his earlier life John was an accountant for various organisations in Auckland and Sydney. Later during the 1990s, he became a retailer operating a shop on Sydney’s northern beaches. Since the 1980s John travelled widely throughout the Pacific, Asia and the Middle East.
He retired in 2003 at the age of 46, after being diagnosed with a severe neurological illness called multiple system atrophy. After a year or two of coming to terms with that devastating turn of events, he eventually found that the forced retirement created an opportunity to fulfil a lifelong ambition to write.
Following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997, John developed an interest in the events that had led to the Paris crash. Since 2005 he carried out extensive full-time research into those events and studied the official British police report after it was published in late 2006. John subsequently completed a book on that subject in September 2007 – it was titled Cover-Up of a Royal Murder: Hundreds of Errors in the Paget Report. That book was read and used by the lawyers at the London inquest into the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed, which commenced in October.
Throughout 2008 John Morgan continued his investigations into the crash and closely followed the six months of the inquest which concluded in April. That research resulted in the six evidence-based volumes of the highly acclaimed Diana Inquest series – written and published between 2009 and 2013.
After publicising the second volume of that series, in late 2009 John received a large volume of unpublished documentation from within the official British police Paget investigation. As a result of that in 2010 he was able to compile a dedicated volume entitled: Diana Inquest: The Documents the Jury Never Saw.
During 2012 John completed a page-turning summary of the shocking story of Diana’s death, Paris-London Connection: The Assassination of Princess Diana. Kopp Verlag translated this book and published the German edition in 2014.
Meanwhile John’s health continued to deteriorate, nevertheless by late 2014 he was able to publish his most important work yet – the narrative abridgement of the six volume Diana Inquest series. It was entitled How They Murdered Princess Diana: The Shocking Truth.
Early in 2015 Jon Conway’s play Truth Lies Diana commenced a five week season at the Charing Cross Theatre in London’s West End. About the death of Princess Diana the play drew heavily on the evidence revealed in the Diana Inquest series. John Morgan starred as a character in the play – his role was played by British actor Barry Bloxham.
