Three years ago, the young man who would later be known as John Doe 1 shuffled into the Richard A. Handlon Correctional Facility in Ionia, Michigan. It was still wintery in April, and his state-issued jacket was poor protection against the drafts coming through the broken windows, shattered by men who had passed through before. The rituals of intake were familiar.

The step-father with-held food and water and sexually tortured and physically and emotionally abused the child from the time he was 11 up until he was 17, when he finally told his mother who did not live with them about the abuse. It is not known why the boy was given custody to his step-father and why his immediate family was uninvolved in his upbringing or how the heinous abuse went unnoticed for so long. He said when he was allowed out of the bedroom, Pratt would force him to stay sitting on the kitchen floor. At other times, the boy would be forced to kneel on a hard, wood floor or on a ruler as punishment. Then he would put them in a box, duct tape it shut and store it in the basement. The boy said Pratt intimidated him by hitting him, cutting him with knives and threatening him with the rifle, so he was afraid to try to escape.

By Andrew Collins. From the sexy Crew Club bathhouse to dance clubs, sex clubs, drag shows, nude go-go dancing, specialized clubs for every variety of gay men and women, special hotels, gay restaurants, and more, Washington, D. The Crew Club bathhouse on 14th Street has been the favorite gay sex club in the nation's capital for years, and it's centrally located near Logan Circle—a minute walk along P Street from Dupont Circle, the city's historically gay neighborhood. Back when it opened in or so, it was considered a bit off the beaten path because Logan Circle had yet to experience the gentrification that has since turned it into one of Washington's hottest neighborhoods, buzzing with trendy restaurants and bars, plus popular and gay-friendly hotels like Kimpton's Hotel Rouge and Hotel Helix. These days, Crew Club regulars fear that rising rents might eventually price it out of the area.
