Porn director arrested for break-in, assault
A gay-porn director was arrested last month in Philadelphia after allegedly breaking into the home of his former partner.
Charlot Aime, 28, was arrested Nov. 9 in the 1500 block of Sellers Street, in the city’s Frankford section.
Philadelphia Police spokesperson Sgt. Ray Evers said Aime allegedly forced open his ex-boyfriend’s front door at 2:40 a.m. and entered his bedroom, where the former partner was asleep with his current boyfriend.
“The complainant awoke to see his ex-boyfriend standing at the side foot of the bed with a knife in one hand and a cooking fork in the other, threatening to kill both of them,” Evers said.
Evers said Aime ran out of the house when the complainant and his boyfriend got out of bed and a fight ensued outside, in which Aime allegedly picked up a baseball bat and struck his ex in the head and chest. Evers said a witness pulled the bat from Aime and kept it away from him until police arrived.
The victim suffered contusions on his chest, knees and head.
Aime, who was released on bail, faces charges of burglary, criminal trespassing, possession of an instrument of crime, terroristic threats, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.
Aime is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Feb. 12. A stay-away order was issued Nov. 17.
Party for HIV/AIDS community
LGBT club Albert’s Second Story, 3180 Grant Ave. in the Northeast, will launch a monthly meet-up event for HIV-positive people and their supporters, with the first party kicking off at 8 p.m. Dec. 6.
“PoZitive Encounters” will allow those with the disease and those who have been affected by it to enjoy a night out with others who face similar issues, said Dan Mangini, one of the creators of the event.
In lieu of a cover charge, attendees are asked to contribute to a scholarship fund that will eventually go to an individual in Northeast Philadelphia with HIV/AIDS.
The parties will be held the first Sunday of every month.
For more information, call Mangini at (267) 319-4262 or contact Albert’s at (267) 339-1579.
