| | The Boys from Brunei really know how to party. According to a lawsuit
filed by ex-Miss USA Shannon Marketic, portions of which are reproduced
here, that country's billionaire rulers regularly import American women for
six-week stints as high-paid hookers. Marketic, a devout Christian, claims
she was unaware that, in exchange for $127,200, women were expected to
serve the Sultan and his rowdy friends. The 27-year-old actress/model
initially sued the Los Angeles "talent agency" she says recruited her, as
well as the Sultan of Brunei (identified here as Haji Hassanal Bolkiah) and
his brother, Prince Jefri. But a federal judge last month ruled that the
Sultan, one of the world's richest men, cannot be sued due to the immunity
afforded a head of state. Along with portions of the lawsuit, we've also
included a Marketic biography and a document describing the financial
package offered by the talent agency. (12 pages)
