By way of The River City Kitty (nonworksafe), by way of the Statesman:

Inside tax help for private dances. That's the trade an IRS employee offered a dancer at his favorite South Austin strip club, according to federal court documents.

Charles G. Herndon, 57, of Austin made the proposal last year after Casey Urias, who was a dancer at Exposé on South Congress Avenue, told him she was being audited and hadn't filed a tax return in several years, according a federal court affidavit.

Urias told Treasury Department investigators that "Herndon told her that he worked for the IRS and could help," the affidavit said. "He wanted a dinner date, and private dances and possibly sex at a hotel in exchange for helping her with her taxes."

The Statesman has a pay-per archive after seven days. We've also filed the complete story here, with a request for reprint pending.... Reprint permission has been denied by Statesman AME Drew Marcks on 7/27. So..... if you want to read the whole article, and the date is after 8/2, you'll have to register with the Statesman archives and shell out $5.95 -- It may sound steep, but at that price you'll get access to 19 more old Statesman stories absolutely free!

If you think $5.95 is too much to pay for a bit of moldy old news, or you believe a newspaper operating in the public trust has an obligation to make its archives freely available -- being as they ain't making jack off 'em anyway -- as a way of encouraging public debate grounded in historical fact (wouldn't that be sweet?), email dmarcks@statesman.com
