The Studio bust now up to 16

8 have now been arrested - there is confusion since AZ Republic, Foxnews and abcnews said owner plus 8 women arrested in raid and one is new arrest after the raid, so seem to have lost a few!

Grand Jury Supervening Indictment and arrest warrants issued for 8 more trying to find.

Owner held on $50,000 cash bond.  Initial Pretrial on 8/21 before judge Stephens (same as Temple and Jody Arias Judge!)

Typical bond for just gal workers seems to be $10,000. Various attorney's already withdrawn. Appears may be transferred to Legal Defenders office like Temple case, not public defenders for those that can not afford the high cost of private attorneys.  This means private attorneys only paid about $1200 by the state for entire case.

A few it appears have private attorneys

As they find more records of people they may keep adding more as in other cases.

Multiple felonies mostly Class 3 probably could face 10+ years in prison

Office of Legal Defense attorneys paid about $1200 by state for those that can not afford private attorneys.

Private attorneys typical charge $10,000-$25,000 if plea.  Much more if go to trial.

Thanks Dave for the info. I'm from NM and I've seen how careless I've been and now see what kind of repercussions there are for not using common sense. It's actually refreshing to see someone try and help these ladies understand there are repercussions for this business. Here in NM mainly Albuquerque/Santa Fe, cops have been making plea deals with girls here to give up names and be used as references. They don't have access to this info and get scared. Info like this is valuable and should be shared. Again. Thank you Dave.

Although it may be unpleasant, I'm grateful we have folks like Dave who go out of their way to keep us informed.  Phoenix is super hot right now and more knowledge will never be a bad thing in times like this. Just my $0.02
