The Story That Made Me Turn Off the Computer for the Next 48 Hours

"A Southern California fortuneteller has been convicted on nine felony sex counts for convincing two teenage girls he could turnaround bleak futures if they had sex with him." Oh, but? "Defense lawyer Gregory Humphries insisted the girls were lying and says a cold interrogation room led to Duran's videotaped confession." Or! "He also argued that the girls' inability to be specific about times and dates of the incidents shows they were making up the allegations." Oof, that'll go down in the history of bad courtroom arguments.

And look! Now they're embroiled in a sex scandal, so he wasn't even a good fortune teller, either.

Never even saw them coming.

Well, ladies, once you have sex with me, there's really nowhere to go but up.

Turning around bleak futures in exchange for sex is what marriage is all about, right?

When the heat goes off in my apartment I keep warm by phoning in confessions.

Hypnotizing women into submitting to intercourse is suddently chivalrous.

Obviously he didn't see a courtroom in his future, now did he.

I admire Denise Nix Staff Writer ahd her way with an ending:

The only person who didn't lie, Humphries said, was his client."
