New Orleans Escorts: Fake phone workers accused of right-wing sting against senator
January 29, 2010
WASHINGTON: A conservative activist famous for a ”prostitute and pimp” sting against a federally funded community group has been arrested for trying to ”maliciously interfere” with the phone lines of a Democrat senator.
James O’Keefe, 25, and three other young right-wing activists face up to 10 years in jail and fines of more than $250,000 for entering federal property under false pretences.
The FBI alleged that on Monday two men arrived at the offices of Senator Mary Landrieu, in New Orleans, dressed in hard hats, tool belts and fluorescent vests. The men said they had come to fix the phones.
