the real problem with murdered 18-year-old pornstitutes...

...is the way they harsh the sexy buzz of the pornography industry and the pornographers who make it.

First the story as reported by local news:

Thursday, August 30, 2007
By kgw.com Staff

The suspect in the murder of an 18-year-old woman in a Portland apartment has been put on 24-hour suicide watch in jail.

Police arrested Paul Frizzelle, 37, for the murder of Emily Egan, 18, who was found dead Tuesday at the Empire Apartments building on Southwest 11th.

The suspect had tried to slit his wrists before police found him Wednesday morning, according to Sgt. Brian Schmautz with the Portland Police Bureau.

Schmautz said an autopsy determined that Egan died from homicidal violence. Police have not said how Egan was killed.

Egan's mother said she was just about to rescue her daughter from a life of drugs and pornography before the young woman turned up dead.

The victim's mother, Terry Egan told KGW "he was a predator taking advantage of our fragile daughter, luring her into a world of drugs and porn."

Terry Egan said Emily had been on medication for emotional problems throughout her high school years at St, Mary's after one doctor diagnosed her as bi-polar.

"She was an incredibly bright person, very innocent. She was a naive girl," according to her mother.

Emily had a hard time fitting in in high school, but eventually got her GED from Pacific Crest, an alternative school, her mother said.

It was only recently that she came into contact with the suspect, who ran a modeling business. Terry said Emily may have met the suspect through an alternative weekly ad before she began modeling around town -- but the modeling eventually turned to nude photo shoots and a culture of drugs.

Emily's mother believes the suspect got her to stop using her prescription medication, turning instead to marijuana, meth and other prescription drugs.

"I know she wasn't herself," Terry said.

Much of the blame, Terry said, lies within Portland's alternative-porn friendly culture that allows predators to groom young women into the lifestyle.

"There's kind of an indie, cool sort of image these predators are using. When you throw in the word 'alternative' here in Portland everyone thinks it's great."

Terry said she became friendly enough with her daughter through the experience that Emily volunteered information about what she was doing and whom she was working with.

It was Wednesday morning that she was scheduled to pick up Emily -- what Terry thought was to be her final effort to rescue her daughter. But Terry now thinks that plan tipped off Emily's attacker and may be what led to the killing.

'I thought I had it all figured out," she says. "It was very insidious, he broke her down."

Sgt. Schmautz told KGW that the suspect had called a number of people, saying things that led them to believe he had killed someone, and at least two of those people alerted police.

Detectives also said that 9-1-1 dispatchers received three out-of-state calls Tuesday reporting a crime may have been committed at the apartment.

Terry said now she wants to make her battle to get other young girls out of the lifestyle that she blames for Emily's murder.

"If any of them are listening and don't feel they have anyone to talk to they do -- I will. This is not the end of the road. (Emily) is not the only one out there."


Now commentary from my local alternormal weekly (italics theirs):

"Winner & Losers" column

Loser
Portland’s DIY porn industry suffered a blow to its otherwise sterling reputation when Paul Eugene Frizzelle II was arrested in the murder of 18-year-old Emily Egan, his live-in girlfriend and model. Frizelle had maintained several online porn sites out of his downtown apartment. Let’s hear it for the creative class!


my letter:

Dear WWeekers,

Don't you think it's rather callous and selfish to hear of a young woman of only 18 brutally beaten, slashed and thrashed to death by a pimpographer "boyfriend" twice her age and have your first thought be "PORNO IS GREAT YAY PORNO FOREVER GOD BLESS LOCAL PORNOGRAPHERS!?"

The way your paper reacted to hearing her young life was snuffed out one could think the worst thing about this medication-taking teen girl getting butchered by a man running several pornography sites out of Portland is that it casts a pall over local capitalist sexploitation. Since your priorities are geared towards defending the reputation and continued business of local pornographers, I want to assure you that no mountain of dead teen girls would ever hamper your access to limitless quantities of vulnerable females drugged and raped on camera for your pleasure like Emily Egan was. Your whack-off products are safe. Portland girls and women not so much.

Sam, it is such a tragic story. Poor Emily... Obviously, she is not the only one out there to whom these sorts of things happen to... :cry:

Much of the blame, Terry said, lies within Portland's alternative-porn friendly culture that allows predators to groom young women into the lifestyle.

I agree. :x

Well put, Sam, great! Who the fuck is this (patriarchal) "God" anyway? Never saw him... :P

Wow, Right On, Sam! Yeah, this is superbly put!!! :D

Oh, those fucking disgusting and cruel pro-porn knee-jerk idiots make me so sick! :evil:
"The assumption that "most women are innately heterosexual'' stands as a theoretical and political stumbling block for many women. It remains a tenable assumption, partly because lesbian existence has been written out of history or catalogued under disease;. . . partly because to acknowledge that for women heterosexuality may not be a "preference" at all but something that has had to be imposed, managed, organized, propagandized and maintained by force is an immense step to take if you consider yourself freely and "innately" heterosexual. Yet the failure to examine heterosexuality as an institution is like failing to admit that the economic system called capitalism or the caste system of racism is maintained by a variety of forces, including both physical violence and false consciousness. . ."

The way this story is written, we're led to believe it's just a one-time deal, with this individual man and a particularly vulnerable young woman.

Of course, I haven't come to expect much more from the media...
"Early on, I made a very conscious decision that women were never going to find themselves on the wrong end of my venom...I'm deeply committed to calling out male violence at its source and that source, in this world, is men. They are the perpetrators of violence, the upholders of the system, the ones who benefit from the degredation and oppression of women around the globe." --B.B.

this what her mother said to a TV reporter: (from his blog since it wasn't used---of course)

"I'm not gonna let someone like that destroy Emily. He may have murdered her---yes he did---but he didnt murder who she was here and who she was in her community and who she was in her family."
And he is inconsequential to me and he will get punished as he needs to be. Who should be worried are the other men out there doing that. Because I'm not kidding. I don't have a plan right this second, but this is not the end. She's not the only who that's out there."

I tried the bump feature for the first time, but now it looks like msjared replied to the thread today instead of in 2007.
