JANUARY 21--A New York City man is suing a Las Vegas escort service, claiming that he is suffering from a “psycotic disorder” as a result of an incident last month during which an agency employee “did an illegal sexual act on me during her paid service to me.”

In a lawsuit filed earlier this month in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Hubert Blackman, a 22-year-old East Harlem resident, alleges that the Las Vegas Exclusive Personals escort “broke the law” during a December 17 encounter. Blackman’s civil rights complaint seeks reimbursment of the $275 he paid the escort, as well as “a $1.8 million verdict for the tragic event that happened.”

“I would like Court to close the business,” he also requests in his January 4 filing, a copy of which you’ll find here.

Blackman, pictured above, was not home when a TSG reporter visited his apartment early this morning. His mother, Brenda Moore, said she was unaware of her son’s lawsuit, which Blackman filed without the aid of a lawyer. “I don’t have any frequent income to get any processing or lawyer fees done,” Blackman reported in a filing seeking a waiver of court fees.

Moore, who said that her son has attended Borough of Manhattan Community College, declined to answer other questions, saying, “I don’t want him to get angry at me.”

In an interview yesterday with the Las Vegas Sun, Blackman explained that he paid $155 for an escort to come to his room at the Stratosphere hotel, where the woman stripped and gave him a lap dance. For another $120, he added, she performed a sexual act. The following morning he called Las Vegas Exclusive Personals seeking a refund because the woman only stayed in his room for 30 minutes, not the agreed-upon hour.

When his request was rejected by the service, Blackman actually contacted Las Vegas cops, who explained that he risked getting busted for engaging in such a prostitution transaction. In his lawsuit, Blackman noted, “I had almost gotten arrested.”

In the “Injuries” section of his complaint, Blackman reported, “I just need medical treatment on medical condition: psycotic disorder.” (4 pages)
