LEBANON — A dancer at Bristol's Show Club and Revue was found guilty Saturday afternoon of committing sex acts for hire.

        Jana Ullman, 22, of Fairfield was found guilty on three misdemeanor charges of prostitution. She was fined $1,500 and was sentenced to 180 days in jail, most of which could be served on probation if Ms. Ullman, who is three months pregnant, passes a drug test.

        An eight-person jury in Lebanon Municipal Court spent less than an hour deliberating the testimony and evidence from the two-day trial.

        Ms. Ullman was the second dancer whose case reached trial in connection with a March 5 raid on the Monroe club.

        During the first trial in July, a jury acquitted another dancer, Terri Thornton, on similar charges.

        “We're deeply disappointed at the outcome of the trial in light of the fact that the testimony of the officers was basically the same as the last case,” said defense lawyer James Hartke.

        Ms. Ullman previously pled guilty to a felony drug trafficking charge, but is trying to withdraw that plea.

        During the trial, Ms. Ullman and three other dancers testified that the sex acts were simulated, made to look realistic.

        “It was one big show,” Ms. Ullman said. “That's what it's all about, one big fantasy show.”

        Two undercover officers testified Friday that the acts were real, saying they witnessed them from within two feet. They occurred in a private room when Ms. Ullman paired up with other dancers to perform oral sex and other acts on each other during “couch dances.” The agents paid each dancer $35-$40 for the private performances.

        The money came from the Warren County Drug Task Force. The task force raided the adult club in March after a five-month investigation that started with a complaint to Warren County Prosecutor Tim Oliver that drugs were being dealt at Bristol's.

        The investigation produced more than 30 arrests, eight for drug trafficking. A dozen dancers were charged with prostitution and others faced liquor violations, including Bristol's owner, Giselle Wolfe, her husband, Terry Wolfe, and son, Pablo Guardiola.

        Mr. Wolfe said after the sentencing that the charges are “not about the girls,” but a way to “destroy the club's credibility and ruining its future.”

        But City Attorney Mark Yurick said it was about prosecuting criminal violations.

        “(Ms. Ullman) wasn't (criminally) charged for every time she danced. She was only charged when she had sex for hire.”
