Local Sports Anchor Under Arrest for Raping Underage Prostitute

One-time sports anchor Marvell Scott is under arrest on rape charges. WCBS-TV reports Scott, formerly with WABC-TV/Channel 7, surrendered to police this morning.

Police say Scott raped a 14-year-old prostitute in his Midtown Manhattan apartment.

Scott was scheduled to face a judge Tuesday afternoon. His attorney, according to WCBS, says Scott is the victim of a shakedown by two prostitutes and a pimp.

Scott, who turns 37 on February 28, left WABC in May initially believed to be on an extended vacation. However, he never returned. Instead, Scott went on to pursue a medical practice. Dr. Marvell Scott specializes in sports medicine.

He told the Daily News in June that he was in the final stages of his education and a fellowship at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in Hamilton, N.J.


Jeezus, this story has everything, a sports anchor, a doctor, a underage prostitute, a shakedown. It must be true. [Examiner]

NEW YORK (WABC) -- A tourist from Germany says when he bit into his steak at the Waldorf-Astoria, there was a used tampon in it.

Axel Sanz-Claus, a tourist from Germany was enjoying a perfect visit to New York City until his dinner Friday night.

He ordered steak and spinach from the Bull and Bear Steak House at the Waldorf Astoria.

"I had it in my mouth, chewed it and nearly swallowed it," said Sanz-Claus. He adds, "This is so disgusting, I've felt sick ever since."

This diner says he rinsed his mouth with brandy then went to the bathroom to vomit. He says the hotel then called an ambulance. Sanz-Claus claims the doctor in the emergency room cut the object in half and confirmed it was a used tampon. New York Presbyterian today confirming he was treated at the hospital

Sanz-Claus says he has not been able to sleep or eat since the episode.

Repulsive enough, just the thought of putting such an object in one's mouth and trying to eat it but this tourist says he now fears he has made himself vulnerable to disease.

He was tested for hepatitis at the hospital and was told to be tested for AIDS in two months.

The Waldorf-Astoria which owns and manages the restaurant, released the following statement. ""We are conducting an internal investigation, but have reason to believe that the circumstances surrounding this incident are highly suspicious. At this time we are not at liberty to provide any additional details."

Download Hulu Videos Using...Hulu Video Downloader!

Hulu Video Downloader (what a name!) lets you download Hulu videos for later viewing. This is good for trips where you might have wifi before you head out on that summer road trip or get on board that airplane. You can use the site to download your favorite NBC and Fox Shows (ABC coming soon!) and watch them whenever you want.

I'm guessing this is going to be blocked very soon, so enjoy it while it's here. [Lifehacker]

ABC Shows Coming to Hulu

To say it's about time, is an understatement. Regardless, ABC shows will finally be available for online viewing as soon as next week.

The first show will be Grey's Anatomy followed by Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty and Lost over the next few weeks. [Hulu Blog]

Missed Dancing With the Stars? Now You Can Watch On Hulu!

Everybody's favorite TV show-watching website just gained a new partner. The Walt Disney Co. announced today that it's struck a deal with Hulu to include programming from ABC and ABC Family (sorry, apparently no ESPN) on the site. This is good news all around, especially for those of you who haven't watched and have been meaning to catch up on Lost for the past four seasons. (It's on Season Five now, right?)

Now the big question (besides "When will CBS join the party already?) is, who at ABC will follow in the footsteps of Alec Baldwin and Seth MacFarlane and star in the next installment of those delightful Hulu commercials? I bet Eva Longoria.

P.S.(A.): Watch all three seasons of Arrested Development on Hulu! That's an order.
