\"\"<\/p>\n

(Chuck Muth)<\/em> – An avowed anti-sex zealot and Reno lawyer recently filed a federal lawsuit to strike down Nevada’s legal prostitution law on behalf of a woman, now going by the name of Rebekah Charleston, who claims to have been \u201ctrafficked\u201d through a pair of Lyon County\u2019s legal brothels.<\/p>\n

Problem is, Ms. Charleston, in the lawsuit, didn\u2019t tell everybody her FULL story\u2026which calls into question whether or not she told a TRUE story.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the fact that \u201cRebekah Charleston\u201d is the name she goes by now. Her real name back in 2006 \u2013 when she was busted for money laundering and tax evasion \u2013 was \u201cRebekah Kay Dean, a.k.a., Nicole A. Wilson.\u201d<\/p>\n

And for argument\u2019s sake, let\u2019s take her story at face value\u2026because as you\u2019ll see, even if you believe her claims of victimization, her claims to having been \u201ctrafficked\u201d in Lyon County\u2019s legal brothels simply hold no water.<\/p>\n

In an interview<\/strong><\/a> a Ft. Worth Magazine, Charleston\/Dean\/Wilson says by the time she was 16 she\u2019d become a drug abuser and dropped out of school. Her parents, she claims, then institutionalized her in a private Texas Christian school where she \u201cdid manual labor in the fields, cleaned churches and ate old donated food with bugs in them.\u201d<\/p>\n

She eventually ran away and moved into a two-bedroom apartment with a half-dozen \u201clow level\u201d drug dealers and started dealing drugs herself.\u00a0 Around the same time she also began stripping and \u201csitting on 50-year-old men\u2019s laps accepting shots of Hennessy.\u201d<\/p>\n

One night, at the age of 17, \u201cshe and her friends were looking for men in a strip club parking lot\u201d when she met the guy she now claims \u201cbeat\u201d and \u201ctrafficked\u201d her over the next ten years.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe took me from a street-walking, drug-using, $50-prostitute to a high-class call girl,\u201d Charleston\/Dean\/Wilson told the magazine.<\/p>\n

And while she\u2019s now claiming she was a brainwashed victim of sex trafficking back in Dallas, the public record related to her arrest and conviction paints a very different story; one of a willing, conniving and deceitful accomplice.<\/p>\n

On March 9, 2006 a United States federal grand jury issued<\/a> <\/strong>two indictments against her for bank fraud\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cOn or about March 8, 2001, DEAN devised and intended to devise a scheme and artifice to defraud Chase Manhattan Bank to obtain money, funds, and credits owned by or under the control of Chase Manhattan Bank by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representation or promises.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Specifically, she opened a checking account using a false Texas driver\u2019s license and false Social Security number under the name of \u201cNicole A. Wilson\u201d and made deposits and withdrawals that resulted in an overdraft of $5,513.57.<\/p>\n

The bank then discovered she had moved, disconnected her phone and had used fake ID to open the account.<\/p>\n

On March 10, 2006 an arrest warrant<\/strong><\/a> was issued for Charleston\/Dean\/Wilson. It was forwarded to the Las Vegas office of the IRS on March 13, 2006 and Charleston\/Dean\/Wilson appears to have been picked up at her reported $600,000 home in North Las Vegas two days later.<\/p>\n

On August 29, 2006 the United States Attorney also charged<\/strong><\/a> Charleston\/Dean\/Wilson and another woman, Tina Bennett, with \u201cConspiracy to commit Tax Evasion.\u201d The details\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cBENNETT and DEAN were employed in the adult entertainment business as exotic dancers and paid escorts. BENNETT and DEAN, either together or separately using their real names or alias\u2019, opened numerous bank accounts to deposit the proceeds of their employment.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the calendar year of 2004, BENNETT and DEAN deposited $684,541.71 into these accounts with the intent to share the money between themselves. BENNETT and DEAN thereafter attempted to conceal this income and failed to file tax returns with the IRS.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, according to a CBS11 I-Team report around that time, the Charleston\/Dean\/Wilson illegal prostitution ring \u201ctried to use at least some of its money to try to go legit with a pizza restaurant\u201d called \u201cGrab a Slice\u201d which used a photo of her provocatively dressed in slices of pepperoni pizza to lure customers.<\/p>\n
