Hancock Seeks DPD Surveillance Of Escort Investigation
Hancock's Lawyer Sought To Get Video, Photos, If They Existed, And Keep From Media

DENVER -- Prior to the mayoral election, Denver Mayor-elect Michael Hancock repeatedly asked Denver police if he or his vehicle was captured on video or in photographs at locations of an escort service authorities had under surveillance, records obtained Thursday by CALL7 Investigators showed.

Hancock's attorney, Bruce James, requested on June 3 that the police give him any evidence of Hancock at the escort service at 1675 Fillmore St., and on June 6 he asked that if any information is found about Hancock at other locations for the escort service that it be withheld from media, citing Hancock's privacy.

James said he was just trying to help clear Hancock's name and that any other assumption is a "tortured" interpretation of his email.

The controversy centers around the Denver Players, which was an escort service charging clients as much as $450 an hour for appointments with women, presumably for sex, court records said....

I wasn't too thrilled about his election (though no more for his opponent). He might well be simply "caught" up in appearances & coincidence, but damn this is getting old.

More women (liberal, progressive) in politics and elected office--please.

2. Like Mabel Busby. She knew 'stuff'.

She was better known as Sally Stanford. Any history of northern California is incomplete without a stroll through her bigography.

3. I was afraid his administration would be marked by corruption and sleaze

But I thought he'd be inaugurated first.
