An American cocoa trader has his balls in an uproar over a Singapore operation meant to hike his fertility but which ended up shrinking his testicles instead. A former spa owner in Tennessee is convicted of prostitution. Can you guess what he's doing about it? It's will-he-or-won't-he-run time for New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who's been rocked this month by a case of prostate cancer and a marital collapse which includes a possible long-term affair with a long-time friend. And a New Jersey tanning salon worker is arrested as a videopeeper after women flood police with 911 calls. Follow the bouncing balls with the Newsex Roundup... nrnSINGAPORE - Denis Matthew Harte had hoped an operation to boost his fertility would help him start a family with his wife; but it left him with shrunken testicles - and inspired a lawsuit. He says in court papers the 1997 operation left him with a lagging libido, and he is now unlikely to sire his own children, as compared to having had an active and satisfying sex life with his wife, Michelle, prior to the procedure. The procedure was performed by Dr. Tan Hun Hoe, who removed varicose spermatic veins from his testicles. Harte says he felt first pain and swelling in his scrotum, then felt lethargic and lacking in libido, as well as experiencing lost muscle mass and swelling breasts. He says he needed hormone replacement therapy in New York a year later, which improved his libido, but still left him unable to father children. nrnNASHVILLE - Former spa owner Tera Daniels claimed she had no idea the women working for her were offering sex for pay for seven years, but a federal jury didn't buy it. They convicted the former Dawn's Whirlpool and Health Spa owner/operator May 17 of money laundering, racketeering and conspiracy. Her "on-again, off-again" boyfriend, as one news account described Lawrence Orlando, was also convicted of conspiring to commit racketeering and money laundering, but he was acquitted of 16 explicit racketeering and money laundering charges. Six former Dawn's workers had pleaded guilty previously to racketeering or money laundering in the case - including Daniels's mother, Joan Gould, who had been Dawn's bookkeeper; and her stepbrother, David Minnick, Sr., Dawn's general manager. Customers testified describing sexual acts they were offered, with one telling the court he went to Dawn's for sex some 300 times. Testimony was also given that Daniels put in an automated teller machine after authorities told her they were probing credit card receipts given to her customers. Daniels's case grew even more sensitive when she walked out of a Nashville halfway house in late December 1999 and fled to Texas with her twin daughters, only to be arrested in a Houston hotel Jan. 12. Daniel and Orlando face sentencing July 31. She could face maximum 20 year sentences on 34 of the counts against her, and a maximum five years on the remaining count. Orlando faces up to 20 years. The jury is also still deliberating on whether Daniels should forfeit her home to the federal government. nrnNEW YORK - Will Mayor Rudolph Giuliani continue his run for the U.S. Senate despite his admission of a dead marriage and a likely affair? That's the question still being asked as the mayor - known for his crackdown on both crime and the sex industry in New York City - prepared for a major town-hall style meeting at the 91st St. YMCA the night of May 18. Over a week earlier, Giuliani admitted that his marriage to actress and television personality Donna Hanover was all but over, while he was also frequently seen in the company of Judith Nathan, a longtime friend. That in turn triggered a frenzy of debate among Republicans over whether the mayor should step out of the Senate race against First Lady Hillary Clinton, or whether he could still stay in against a candidate hobbled even more by President Clinton's own scandal baggage. Adding to the dilemma is Giuliani's battle with prostate cancer, with some New York commentators suggesting that, if he still wants to make the race, Giuliani could stay in the race and then take time off to recover while "capable lieutenants," as the New York Post calls them, run the city, and various Republican "surrogates" - including Arizona Senator John McCain - campaign for him until he can return. nrnSPRINGFIELD, N.J. - A tanning salon worker here has secretly videotaped female clients in the nude and faces charges in the case. Police say Yung Won Kim used a ladder to peek through an open ceiling tile at Sun Master while naked women lay on tanning beds. The trouble began May 8, when police took a flood of 911 calls from clients who learned they'd been filmed, including one who saw a ceiling tile out of place, replaced it, and saw it being moved out of place as she lay down again. Police arrested Kim at the salon and found him with a miniature surveillance camera and videocassette which contained images of clients from the second tanning room. They confiscated more videotapes and several computer disks from his home as well. He was released on his own recognizance after a court date May 15. nrn--- Compiled by Humphrey Pennyworth
