AKRON, OH — The almost uncanny run of good luck in bad situations for the Girls Gone Wild team continues unabated, with teen Nina R’s rape case against one of the company’s cameramen reaching a brick wall.According to the Beacon Journal, the 17-year-old Cuyahoga Falls girl whose underage drinking and sexy dancing brought her to the attention of the Girls Gone Wild tour bus staff during a trip to Akron, OH appeared on both local and national television in an effort to make sure that her story was told. Unfortunately for her, a lack of evidence to support her contention of rape may well mean that her story has reached an end, at least in court.

Nina contended that she was raped in a back bedroom on the tour bus while nearly unconscious from over indulgence in liquor. Prior to accepting an invitation into the infamous tour bus, she enjoyed an evening of heavy drinking and variably topless or bottomless bar top dancing at Mango’s nightclub.

She told police she was served so much liquor at Mango’s nightclub that she became extremely drunk and, late in the evening, was lured onto the bus by a cameraman who had been videotaping her as she danced — sometimes topless, sometimes bottomless — on the bar.

Girls Gone Wild lawyers did their best to block local detectives from viewing employment records or video footage from the Akron trip, but after two months handed over both. After viewing photographs, Nina was able to identify a 25-year-old Los Angeles independent contractor for the company who, along with another videographer and an associate producer, denied that anything untoward had occurred.

Given that Nina had washed both her body and her clothing during the four days she kept her alleged assault a secret, removing any physical evidence that might have existed; the denials and lack of proof found in subpoenaed evidence make her case a sad example of she said/he said, with investigators left with nothing to use in a prosecution.

Edmond Jaber, the owner of Mango’s nightclub, on the other hand, continues to be very much in the legal eye, as is the promoter that assisted with the Girls Gone Wild arrangements. Jaber, who has pled not guilty, faces two felony charges of illegal use of a minor in a nudity-oriented performance, a felony charge of child endangering, and two misdemeanors concerning the sale of alcohol to a minor. His trial is set to begin on February 6th.

Carl Moss, the Akron promoter working with Mango’s and Girls Gone Wild, has also pled not guilty. He is charged with three felony charges including two charges of using a minor in a nude performance and one for child endangering.

Nina, understandably, is exhausted and disappointed. “It’s very saddening,” she told the Beacon Journal, adding that, “Up until now, I felt I had a chance, but it’s basically over.” With hindsight being what it is, Nina acknowledged that “The thing that upsets me the most is that if I had just gone to the doctor, it would be practically a done case.”
