ACORN video actress interned at Mooneys journalism program
MARYLAND Hannah Giles, who pretended to be a prostitute seeking advice from the group ACORN, interned this summer at the National Journalism Center, whose executive director is state Sen. Alex X. Mooney.
Were proud of her, Mooney, R-Frederick/Washington, said Thursday.
Giles and James OKeefe III, portraying a pimp, caused a stir with their undercover videos that apparently show ACORN workers in different cities giving advice on illegal activities, such as running a prostitution business and trafficking teenagers from Central America.
After the videos circulated, Congress blocked federal funding to ACORN, which stands for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
Mooney said Giles worked on the ACORN project on her own, outside of her internship, but told people at the National Journalism Center about it after she and OKeefe made their first few videos.
