11/15/98

Denver’s leading stripper agent JR Wolfe fell unwittingly into the Luke F-rd Star Chamber this week. I published the following about my Tuesday afternoon at Reb’s Pretty Girl International:

Domonique DeWitt [daughter of the slain teacher Dave Saunders at Columbine High School] says she had an awful experience entering porn through Denver journalist and agent JR Wolf, veteran photographer Johnny Castano and Max Hardcore.

Domonique: "I went to the Exotica 98 Expo [strip club convention in Las Vegas in September] with JR Wolfe. He was supposed to get me all this work. He didn’t do s---. He got me one shoot. It was with Max Hardcore. I like the guy but it was the worst possible first shoot I could’ve done. It was my first anal in my life. He was not gentle.

"I got stuck in Las Vegas because the maid threw my plane ticket away. Johnny Castano said I could stay at his house. JR called him and bitched about me. I bitched about JR. Johnny stood up for JR. We got into a big screaming match. He starts throwing stuff… He said, ‘I’m going to call this person and you’ll never work again.’ I took my s--- and I left his house. Johnny Castano can die and rot in hell.

"Paul Little as a person is a nice guy but when Paul turns into Max… Paul and I E-mail once in a while. He’s cool but I don’t know if I’ll ever work for him again."

Thursday afternoon, JR Wolfe sent me this E-mail: "Thank you for asking me my side of the Dominique DeWitt story [sarcasm – Luke did no fact checking on this story]. Here are the facts. I met Dominique when she approached me about the striptease business. When I told her that Diamond LaRocce and I were going to the Exotic Dancer magazine "Gentlemens Club Expo" in Las Vegas. I explained to her that it was a convention of feature entertainers and night club owners. It was explained that it was not a convention of adult video companies. I told her that I would introduce her to whoever I knew at the event. I did just that. I introduced her to Max Hardcore, she did a scene with him. She was so proud of the scene, the next day she had Max's company logo painted on her butt. I have pictures of her doing this on the convention floor.. I introduced her to Johnny Castano. She promised to pose for him, then blew him off until she had no place to stay in Las Vegas. She had her own room, and her own transportation. She loses her plane ticket, then blames it on the maid. There is the problem. Dominique has a history of blaming her irresponsibility's on someone else . I did not call Johnny and bitch about her, I was driving home to Denver. I did not know that she had lost her plane ticket until I got home. Johnny did call me, and tell me that she was "trouble" and I agreed. Johnny stood up for me because he saw me introduce Dominique to a number of people, and then watched her either backstab me, or blow them off. According to witnesses Dominique blew the money Max paid her at the blackjack tables. Dominique did several hardcore shoots before that trip to Vegas. Including "Sex In Public" for AMX. She called me on Oct.10th [well after her "horrible" experience at the stripper convention] looking for work. I turned her down. Mr. Ford, you may contact Johnny Castano, Diamond LaRocce, or Ernie Flores about Dominique. They will tell you how she partied all night, slept all day, and missed every opportunity given her."

Mr. Ford was too damn lazy to contact anyone about Domonique (who was referred to Reb by Charley Frey). He instead spent his Thursday yammering to his therapist about his lack of impulse control and moral back bone and overabundance of laziness and greed. While twiddling with his computer late Thursday afternoon, Luke got a phone call from JR Wolfe and Johnny Castano.

The most colorful quotes came from the veteran Las Vegas photographer: "Luke, she ain’t into doing porno. She’s into doing tricks."

JR: "She lost all her money playing blackjack… Max paid her $600… The girl will smile to your face till she gets your money, then she’ll backstab you."


Johnny: "Reb doesn’t know how much trouble she is. Wait till she goes on sets and starts complaining. They’ll throw her off sets.


"Tell Regan that I’ve been acting as a casting office since 1979. Luke, I don’t think he’s [Regan Senter] is going to be around that long. Someone is going to put him in a hospital."

Domonique told Luke that Johnny had told her: "I’m going to call this person and you’ll never work again."

Johnny: "I never said that. Who do I know that could do that?"
JR: "Who is she talking about?"

Luke: "I don’t have a clue."

JR: "You don’t have a clue and you printed it? You didn’t bother to ask her who she was talking about [that would bar her from porn]?"

Luke: "Right. I didn’t really care."

Johnny: "I’m not involved in porno. I don’t shoot porno. All these porno people are crazy, especially these girls. You should hear the stories they tell me."

Unaware of Luke’s brand of "journalism," poor JR was stunned that Luke would run a story without checking the facts. For 18 years Wolfe has written for the Rocky Mountain Oyster and other publications such as Exotic Dancer magazine. He checks his facts three times before publishing. "Journalist to journalist," said JR to Luke, "how could you do this?"

JR Wolfe began work as a male stripper at age 21 (in the late ‘60s). He then developed a dance agency. He says does not have sex with his talent and won’t let his girls prostitute themselves.

Domonique DeWitt appeared on national TV offering a tearful eulogy to her father. Saunders was killed when he tried to usher students to safety.

April 24, 1999:

Denver stripper agent J.R. Wolfe emails: "I saw Angela Saunders aka Dominique DeWitt on TV mourning the loss of her father. Her dad was the teacher killed during the Columbine High School Massacre in Littleton, Colorado. Although we have had our desputes in the past, and I haven't seen her or talked to her since September, our condolences go to her family."

According to www.extratv.com: "William "Dave'' Saunders, 47. A computer and business teacher for 24 years, Saunders coached girls' basketball and softball - with the basketball team posting a winning record in his first year, 1997-98 after finishing next to last the year before. He was married with at least two daughters and five grandchildren. He was shot twice in chest while directing students down the hallway to safety, and survived at least three hours until students were rescued."

Wolfe told www.geneross.com: "The high school [Columbine] is five miles from me, and one of my dancers is a senior at the high school. She turned 18 in November and started working for us in February. She was there when the shooting took place but she didn't see anyone hit with bullets."

On Monday night, 4/26, CBS anchorman Dan Rather said: "As he lay dying, those students he saved dug into his wallet, pulled out pictures of his wife and daughters for him to see. It comforted him. 'Tell my girls,' he said, 'I love them.' Today, daughter Angela answered him."

Angela Sanders aka Domonique DeWitt: "You are the greatest daddy, husband, grandpa, teacher, coach, friend and mentor anyone could ever hope for. What you did in that school on Tuesday was an amazing act of heroism, all the way thinking of others instead of yourself. Just like always.
P.S.: The girls and I would like you to know that we love you, too. And, because of you, there are a lot more kids that will make it. Goodbye, daddy. I love you."

J.R. Wolfe of jrstripteasers.com was getting ready to attend church services this afternoon for a relative of performer Diamond Larocce who also lost their life in the Littleton, Colorado high school massacre.

Because of the bad blood between him and Dominique DeWitt, Wolfe opted not to go to services for her father, William Dave Saunders, this morning. Larocce has worked for Wolfe and Wolfe knows DeWitt vaguely when she hubnubbed with him at a Las Vegas dancers' expo last year.

Wolfe: "I don't know if it's a first cousin or a second cousin. I'll find that out from Diamond. I know Diamond, once she found out, came here and hung out for two days then went to see her husband in Ft. Collins [Colorado]. I meet up with them this afternoon. When Diamond came off the road and came over here, she was upset to the point where I couldn't make out what she was saying. She was crying and bawling and going to see relatives. She just used the word 'cousin.' She didn't give me a specific name or anything like that. Diamond's a very emotional person, and I could only get a little bit out of her.

"The main thing was, I was trying to calm her down. Diamond's pregnant and leaving the business for a little while. It's been quite the thing out here. The high school [Columbine] is five miles from me, and one of my dancers is a senior at the high school. She turned 18 in November and started working for us in February. She was there when the shooting took place but she didn't see anyone hit with bullets. She was the only person I was worried about at that time. They didn't release the names of the dead for a couple of days. When they released the name Saunders I said it couldn't be. In the local paper they did an obituary on Mr. Saunders and mentioned Dominique's real name right in there. I feel sorry for both familes. It's such a traumatic thing. Here we can't get away from the news. All the local stations have it on 24/7. They're digging for stories and stuff on it all the time.

"The interesting thing is after you put my website address in there, I got emails from some of the video companies looking to higher the girls [Wolfe's dancers]. That wasn't the intention but the response was certainly surprising."
