PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A prostitute who once faced up to life in prison for supplying heroin to a customer who died has been sentenced to 14 months served.
She pleaded guilty to a lesser charge after her lawyer persuaded authorities the man’s enlarged heart, clogged artery and cold shower after a 30-minute dip in a hot tub contributed to his death. The man died during a sex act with her after taking the drug.
An Oakland County judge sentenced Natasha Vanwasshenova (vahn-wah-sheh-NOH’-vah) Tuesday for delivering a controlled substance. The 28-year-old also received two years’ probation.
Authorities say a 38-year-old man hired her in November 2010 to come to his home in Rochester in suburban Detroit. At his request, she bought $80 of heroin for him.

Detroit Massage Parlors: Midwestern Transmissions: Silo Halo Tour Diary Day 2
May 8, 2012 at 7:48 pm | In Detroit massage parlors | No CommentsTo our dismay, the Motown Museum is closed on Sundays, but dinner was waiting for us at Asim’s house in Ferndale: daal, brown rice and salad. Asim = Awesome. He fed us several times, housed us, made tea for us, set up the show and became my new favorite person. The show was at a place called The Loving Touch, which used to be a massage parlor and still has the original (suggestive?) flashing signs above the stage area (which I’m told usually houses a foosball table). It also has a green corner with a glass ceiling and wall plants. There are about ten pool tables and a bar with half-price drinks for bands that amounted to next to nothing compared to D.C. prices. We drank many WAB Raspberry Blonde ales that are brewed on that same block.

Detroit Adult Entertainment: Detroit blight
May 8, 2012 at 3:01 pm | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsThere’s less of a hammer under these private nuisance lawsuits, experts said. The property can’t be seized, but a judge could set up a repair timeline and fine owners for not following it.
“It’s going to be difficult, but every little bit helps,” said John Mogk, a Wayne State University law professor who studies land issues.
Tomich’s neighbor’s home, a stately, dark-brick house with a turret and leaded glass in the 17000 block of Wildemere, has sat vacant in one of the city’s most beautiful neighborhoods since a Mother’s Day fire last year.
The rear of the home was extensively damaged and the garage had to be demolished. Scavengers broke through a window and have stripped some of the plumbing and, on a recent day, a prostitute used the house for an afternoon transaction, neighbors said.
Detroit Adult Entertainment: Lincoln Park escort gets probation after being cleared of client’s death
May 8, 2012 at 3:01 pm | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsToby told Bowman his client was “no angel” and had been involved in activities she shouldn’t have been prior to Hood’s death. Toby also pointed out that she went to Hood’s home with $80 worth of heroin he had requested, and Hood, who had already been drinking, ingested (snorted) the drug, before spending 30 minutes in a hot tub with Vanwasshenova. When she noticed Hood was falling asleep, she told him to get out of the jacuzzi, and he took a cold shower before she performed a sex act on him.
During sex, Hood slumped over and could not be revived. Vanwasshenova called her employer who told her to leave the house, but instead she called 911 and waited for paramedics and police to arrive.
“Instead of leaving, she stayed on the line and attempted CPR on him,” said Toby. “She could have left there, and no one would have known her involvement.”
Vanwasshenova, a mother of four children, had been working for the Sensual Obsession escort service for about a year as a $250-an-hour escort, Toby said.
Detroit Escorts: Prostitute Cleared Of Life Felony In Customer’s Death
May 8, 2012 at 10:13 am | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsROCHESTER (WWJ/AP) – A prostitute no longer faces a life felony for supplying heroin to a customer who died while having sex with her.
Oakland County prosecutors dropped a charge of drug delivery causing death against 28-year-old Natasha Vanwasshenova. She is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday on a reduced charge of delivery of a controlled substance and could walk free after 14 months in jail.
The original charge carried a maximum sentence of life in prison. Her lawyer said he plans to ask Judge Leo Bowman on Tuesday to sentence Vanwasshenova to time served.
Vanwasshenova allegedly worked for a Dearborn-based escort service for about a year to support her four children. According to authorities, a 38-year-old man hired Vanwasshenova on Nov. 23, 2010, to come to his home in the Detroit suburb of Rochester. He asked her to bring heroin, and she bought $80 worth, according to court records.

Detroit Escorts: Lincoln Park escort cleared in client’s death
May 8, 2012 at 2:13 am | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsOakland County Chief Medical Examiner Ljubisa Dragovic said tests on heart tissue in such drug-related deaths are done at the pathologist’s discretion. “The pathologist felt that other information provided — the heroin purchased and used by the man — pointed to it as the factor or a contributing factor in his death and further tests were not required.”
“We went back as soon as we had more information. Now it appears that it should have been done at the time. But you cannot run those kinds of tests on every drug overdose case.”
Toby said Vanwasshenova worked for a Dearborn-based escort service, and Hood sought her services Nov. 23, 2010. After they took heroin, drank alcohol and sat in a hot tub, she performed sex on him. He collapsed and could not be revived, Toby said.
