[eagleman12]

Well the last I heard she was found guilty for the sencond degree murder of Crsytal( another shemale star) and is doing time under house arrest.
apparently they were having and heated discussion in a parking lot.
some say it was over who was better looking( thats what I was able to dig up
don't know if that is the real fact) and Slylvia pulled a gun out and shot her
during a the fight. Very sad story for both. I was just starting to be big fan of
Ms. Boots and thought she was hottt!

[Hugh Jarrod]

As I understand it the arguement was with a third gurl, and Sylvia accidently shot Crystal. Then again I wasn't there so what do I know.

Borrowed from BobsT-Girls

This is the true story of the rise and fall, of Sylvia Boots an internationally known transsexual porn star.

Her story is one of life in the fast lane. It takes place in Hollywood Ca. and is wilder than anything that Hollywood’s best writers, high on cocaine could ever dream up.

Sylvia’s real name is Amara Vadillo. She began her career, as have many transsexuals as a Gay-Boy. It was her life long childhood friend Rogelio Coto; also from Cuba; who helped Sylvia transition from a Gay-Boy into one of the most beautiful Queens in Hollywood. He helped Sylvia inject herself with hormones and slowly the metamorphosis worked its magic. Three breast enhancements later and Sylvia is a massive 34 DDD. Her adult video salary assumed equally impressive proportions.

Sylvia made it to the top of the adult video world and not on good looks alone. Sylvia is a people person and her personality charmed all she came in contact with. This heterosexual writer has known many beautiful real women in his lifetime, but few have had the inner charm, grace and personality that is Sylvia’s. Sylvia got along well with all her contemporaries in the adult video industry Alissa, Brenda Perez, Sofia Santos and Vo D’ Balm just to name a few.

There was however one Queen that she could not win over, Tanya Amadore. There had long been an extreme animosity between them. The source of Tanya’s hatred for Sylvia apparently jealousy and envy.

The first of four confrontations takes place between them in the Arena Club. Inside the club the two Queens were staring daggers at each other. Outside the club Sylvia was attacked by three of Tanya’s friends. Tanya did not physically participate in the attack but looked on with glee and made sure that Sylvia knew she was responsible for it. Sylvia filed a criminal complaint with the L.A.P.D. at that time.

On August l8, 2002 Sylvia again came into conflict with Tanya. She unknowingly dated Tanya’s boyfriend Mr.Jorge Espinoza. They met at the Plaza Club. Following the date at Sylvia’s apartment Jorge brutally beat Sylvia and stole her new Ford Mustang convertible. The following morning Tanya called Sylvia on the phone and taunted her. She asked how did it feel to be beaten up and have your car stolen. Sylvia responded in kind and told Tanya “Your friend is a faggot; ask him how he liked being fucked in the ass”. Tanya was furious! If beating Sylvia up and stealing her car were a part of Tanya’s plan, Jorge having sex with Sylvia definitely was not.

Sylvia then realized that there was a connection between Tanya and Jorge. She didn’t know that they were in fact boyfriend and girlfriend. Again Sylvia filed a complaint with the L.A.P.D. case #021500009.

Three weeks later on September 8, 2002 Jorge returned to Sylvia’s apartment and attempted to murder her by firing a bullet into her head. Sylvia miraculously survived and will carry this bullet in her head for the rest of her life, as it is inoperative. Again for the third time Sylvia filed a complaint with the L.A.P.D. case #021526214. After this third attack a police officer unofficially advised Sylvia to carry a weapon for self-defense. At this point the true identity of Jorge was not yet known. All the police had to go on was an artist’s sketch and a suspicion that he was associated with Tanya.

Six and a half months later on March 17, 2003 in an after hours restaurant known as the Yukon a chance encounter took place between Sylvia and Tanya in the women’s restroom. Both exchanged gender based insults. Sylvia coming off with some that were quite funny, as this writer had never heard them before. A vicious knock down hair pulling, scratching, punching, kicking, no holds barred fight ensued with Sylvia coming out on top.

Upon both parties being expelled from the Restaurant, round two began in the parking lot with Tanya threatening Sylvia, with the spiked ends of her high heel shoes. Tanya had then gained allies. Two other transsexuals Laura Banuelos and .ca joined Tanya. Martica Garcia, Sylvia’s close transsexual girlfriend came to her aid. More insults were exchanged and the management was doing their best to separate the five combatants.

At one point this tragedy was almost averted as Sylvia and her girlfriend Martica returned to Sylvia’s new Ford Expedition to leave. At one time someone said you bitches aren’t going anywhere. One report has it that Sylvia’s vehicles’ path was momentarily blocked. Sylvia apparently thinking that the ass kicking wasn’t enough to convince Tanya to leave her alone, exited the vehicle with a gun in hand to confront all three would be attacker’s. Sylvia remembering the Arena Club attack wasn’t about to be gang attacked again. She was apparently planning to bluff them into submission.

Given the allegation that Tanya had mounted three previous attacks against Sylvia, each one becoming potentially more deadly in sequence; it is no wonder that she had finally decided to make a stand. In Sylvia’s mind if she didn’t face Tanya at that time she knew that a future fifth attack would certainly follow and might prove fatal to her. We must all ask ourselves what we would have done under the same circumstances.

It’s easy to say go to the authorities but that didn’t work for Sylvia on three previous occasions. Emotions, egos, alcohol and a hand gun are always a dangerous mix. This became a tragedy the moment Tanya decided to attempt to take the gun away from Sylvia. They struggled violently for control of the weapon. For both parties this was a life and death situation. Neither party could afford to relinquish the gun to the other. Ultimately the unthinkable happened. The gun was accidentally fired and Laura Banuelos was fatally shot.

As the shot was fired Tanya’s hand was seared with gun power burns. She let go of the weapon in pain.

Everyone went into shock as no one expected this to happen. This was much like two children scuffling in their parents’ home and something was accidentally broken. Their feeling was we are in trouble now. At first no one appeared to have been hit. Instead of everyone running away they just began to slowly walk away. Then after a few steps Laura began to stagger. After walking about 50 feet she collapsed. This bullet couldn’t have done more damage if it had been deliberated aimed and fired. This single 22 caliber magnum bullet entered Laura’s right lung, made an abrupt left turn, severed an artery to the heart and then lodged in the left lung. It was all over for Laura in less than a minute.

The police arrived and Sylvia was arrested. While awaiting trial in County Jail, Sylvia heard via the inmate grapevine that another inmate was bragging about having shot the celebrity Sylvia Boots. After L.A.P.D. learned of this they did a six-pack photo identification session with Sylvia. On February 4, 2004 Sylvia positively identified Mr. Jorge Espinoza as the man who beat her, stole her car on August 18, 2002 and later shot her on September 8, 2002.

Tanya Amadore and Jorge Espinoza are well known to Detectives Chuck Morales of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Dwaine Anderson and Mike Coffee of L.A.P.D. for these and other crimes they have committed in the community. These crimes are still being investigated.

Sylvia was put on trial in Beverly Hills, a city that borders Hollywood. These two cities are culturally light years apart. If Sylvia truly had a jury of her peers, then a West Hollywood jury would have been preferred.

Judge Richard A. Stone, a pleasant agreeable man on the surface presided over her trial. The prosecutor was Mrs. Bita Ahdoot. Sylvia’s attorney was Mr. Gary J. Kaufman of Century City.

The prosecutor charged Sylvia with Murder in the first degree, Murder in the second degree, Voluntary Manslaughter, Involuntary Manslaughter and added an Armed Allegation charge, apparently hoping the jury would find her guilty of something.

Her trial lasted only one week. Her defense rested after one day. Her jury decided her fate in about five hours - all this after awaiting trial in County Jail for l4 months. Can there be a just murder trial in one short week?

The prosecutor convinced the jury that Sylvia had intended to shoot Tanya, but accidentally shot Laura. She went on to explain that under an obscure interpretation of the law that they were to consider that Sylvia had intended to shoot Laura, thus making a Second Degree Murder verdict possible.

This is quite a stretch of logic as well as the law. The application of the law in this fashion, in a case of self-defense in which there are so many mitigating circumstances, was never intended.

Sylvia’s attorney pointed out that this transference of intent was meant to apply to a sniper situation wherein a sniper would be shooting at specific people and accidentally hitting an unintended person. This then is a catch 22 situation for the State. It allows them to hold a person liable for a greater offense than was actually committed. To apply this to Sylvia’s case is immoral and uncompassionate.

By law an accidental killing is not Murder. It is Involuntary Manslaughter at most.

In order to be guilty of second degree Murder you have to have shown intent and premeditation beyond a reasonable doubt. There is plenty of reasonable doubt in this case. The gun is fired only once. It is fired only when Tanya has her hands on it and is trying to take it away from Sylvia. As Sylvia’s attorney and others pointed out, this gun was never fired when Sylvia had sole control of the weapon. This proves that Sylvia never had any intent. Without intent this case falls apart and comes down to Involuntary Manslaughter at the worst and self defense at the best.

This court would not see that this was actually a tragic accident and not an intentional act. The Judge in this case wasn’t swayed by the 58 people who all wrote letters and signed a petition urging him to reduce Sylvia’s sentence down to an Involuntary Manslaughter.

This judge threw the book at her. The correct sentence for Second Degree Murder is l5 years to life according to section l90a of the Penal Code. This judge sentenced her to 20 years to life by applying the wrong Penal Code section. He apparently cited section 190d. It reads as follows. “Every person guilty of murder in the second degree shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a term of 20 years to life if the killing was perpetrated by means of shooting a firearm from a motor vehicle, intentionally at another person outside of the vehicle with the intent to inflict great bodily injury.” This gun was never fired from within a vehicle. The struggle for control of this gun took place well outside of any vehicle.

He next applied an Armed Allegation section l2022.53d and added an additional 25 years to life.

After that he still wasn’t finished. He ordered a $10,000 restitution fine to be paid to Laura’s family, if Sylvia is ever released on parole. None of these additional charges could have been added if Sylvia had been found guilty of Manslaughter or less. This is a high price to pay for an accidental shooting in which Sylvia did not have control of the weapon.

The person perceived to be morally responsibility for this tragedy by the Hollywood Community is Tanya, but the law does not try people for moral guilt, only legal and because of the self-defense aspect Tanya escapes all legal consequences for her actions. In all fairness to Tanya, she is reported to be very distraught over Laura’s death. Everyone involved in this tragedy knows it was a tragic accident and suffers for it.

Sylvia was sentenced on July 27, 2004 to 45 years to life. Given all of the mitigating circumstances in this case, is this justice? Sylvia’s friends are unable to afford a second attorney to handle her appeal at this time. It is hoped that this story will persuade a prominent appeals attorney to defend Sylvia without charge.

This case cries out for a correct and compassionate justice. This was after all a tragic accident in which the verdict and punishment do not fit the case. Has there been a more unjust verdict since the O.J. Simpson trial?

Poor Sylvia. I'm sorry to hear about this horrible incident.Bottom line is: THE LAW SUCKS!!! There is no justice left in this world.I mean,45yrs.to life for an accident.You've got to be kidding me.If anyone should be punished it should be Tanya and her asshole BF. You know what they say though. It's all about karma.What goes around, comes around. They'll get there's alright.Hang tight Sylvia.

[bucatini70]

I have heard this story...yea it is old...yea she was most likely wrong legally....morally and intellectually ....but 45 years?? terrorists, gang-bangers, people who compromise national security don't recieve sentences like that. you know you have to say it 45 years who recieves that i would really like to see easy to say oh she broke the law she has to pay this is not entirely the case it is more like she broke the law let us leave you to rot there what a shame on the "just-us" system. My citizen from my old home state said it right when she said her taste in cars was better than her taste in lawyers no wonder i moved abroad to a country with torte law limitations ...if anyone is still trying to help her legally PM me

[Tara Emory]

Yeah I just see "Ford Expedition" and "carrying a gun" and catfights with other trannies over egos and stuff, and I'm inclined to have no sympathy for Sylvia as well. Whatsoever.

While I know there are plenty of responsible gun owners around, I know that there are lots that aren't and bought got a gun thinking they need "protection". Protection from who? I dunno, the people who are gonna break into your New Ford Expedition or break into your house and steal your VCR or some stupidity like that.

Or how's this, "I need to own a gun to protect my house in case someone wants to break in and steal my... expensive gun collection!" We had a guy in a while ago who amassed a huge gun collection, machine guns, etc.. and went on a rampage at the Foxy Lady in New Bedford, MA, killing 2 men and then himself. The case sticks out because the guy was someone that a sibling of mine knew in first grade, and he was a normal kid all throughout high school.. Somewhere in there he went gun crazy, and he lived in a teeny tiny shitty house, so it's not like he was protecting a house full of valuables.

And I've got to respond to this.
>"Poor Sylvia. I'm sorry to hear about this horrible incident.Bottom line is: THE LAW SUCKS!!! There is no justice left in this world.I mean,45yrs.to life for an accident.You've got to be kidding me.If anyone should be punished it should be Tanya and her asshole BF"

Wow Adreienne, I guess you don't think anyone is responsible for thier own actions! Tanya dn her asshole BF made me do it!

Sure, Sylvia Boots was a hot porn star and many fans out here would love to help her (so she can continue making porn), but face it, she was living the gangsta lifestyle, which is dumbfuckery at it's finest, so I don't have much sympathy for that.

[stillies77]

God i loved her in tgirl fantasies...that scene by the pool...so fucking hot

[the Adrienne Barbeaubot]

Perhaps you're right Tara,but 45 years? Others have done worse and got off for less.That's just the way I see it though!

[4ever_ngt]

Ya know da real tragedy in this story is that they closed the Yukon, the restaurant where the shooting took place..The place was a dive but had great food & was open 24 hours..!!! Where else could you go in West Hollywood & see dime pieces & get a bite to eat at 3am..??? Gawd I miss that shithole

[tjinla2001]

Servicing a young Sylvia is one of my fondest memories. It was before implants in San Diego. Stiff curved cock. Magical load

[giovanni_hotel]

FREE SYLVIA!!!

[Ryz]

no.

[loren]

Considering that Sylvia was acting in self-defence against the same people who had harmed her several times before, I think she shouldn't have gotten any more than 5 years.

Also none of this would've happened if the cops had done their jobs. After Sylvia was attacked, she went to the :censor cops and filed a report on the incident. The :censor cops should've looked into it.

[Legend]

no.

Agreed, she is a murderer and deserves to rot in prison.

dbl...

[loren]

shooting (killing) someone isnt self defense nor should it ever be.First of all, I don't know what Calif. law has to say about it, but in Missouri, you are responsible for that bullet once you fire the pistol. However, one might argue (rightly so) that Sylvia was not in controll of the pistol, so she could not be held responsible. Secondly, it's not like Sylvia put the pistol to the "victim's" head. The pistol fired during a struggle where neither party had controll of it.

That's why I wouldn't give her any more than 5 years.

Oh, and it was my life that was in imminent danger, and I had no other way out, you better believe I'd shoot (kill) the SOB!

[buckjohnson]

This probably should not have even gone to trial. Was a plea bargin ever offered?

This does seem a travesty but th TS on the board are always complaing, rightly so, that law enforcement/justice system does not treat TS victims of crime seriously. In this case they did want the TS community wanted as far as treating TS victims of crime in givng out such a harsh sentence.

Sylvia then realized that there was a connection between Tanya and Jorge. She didn’t know that they were in fact boyfriend and girlfriend. Again Sylvia filed a complaint with the L.A.P.D. case #021500009.

Three weeks later on September 8, 2002 Jorge returned to Sylvia’s apartment and attempted to murder her by firing a bullet into her head. Sylvia miraculously survived and will carry this bullet in her head for the rest of her life, as it is inoperative. Again for the third time Sylvia filed a complaint with the L.A.P.D. case #021526214. After this third attack a police officer unofficially advised Sylvia to carry a weapon for self-defense. At this point the true identity of Jorge was not yet known. All the police had to go on was an artist’s sketch and a suspicion that he was associated with Tanya.

Six and a half months later on March 17, 2003 in an after hours restaurant known as the Yukon a chance encounter took place between Sylvia and Tanya in the women’s restroom. Both exchanged gender based insults. Sylvia coming off with some that were quite funny, as this writer had never heard them before. A vicious knock down hair pulling, scratching, punching, kicking, no holds barred fight ensued with Sylvia coming out on top.

Upon both parties being expelled from the Restaurant, round two began in the parking lot with Tanya threatening Sylvia, with the spiked ends of her high heel shoes. Tanya had then gained allies. Two other transsexuals Laura Banuelos and Monica joined Tanya. Martica Garcia, Sylvia’s close transsexual girlfriend came to her aid. More insults were exchanged and the management was doing their best to separate the five combatants.

At one point this tragedy was almost averted as Sylvia and her girlfriend Martica returned to Sylvia’s new Ford Expedition to leave. At one time someone said you bitches aren’t going anywhere. One report has it that Sylvia’s vehicles’ path was momentarily blocked. Sylvia apparently thinking that the ass kicking wasn’t enough to convince Tanya to leave her alone, exited the vehicle with a gun in hand to confront all three would be attacker’s. Sylvia remembering the Arena Club attack wasn’t about to be gang attacked again. She was apparently planning to bluff them into submission. Given the allegation that Tanya had mounted three previous attacks against Sylvia, each one becoming potentially more deadly in sequence; it is no wonder that she had finally decided to make a stand. In Sylvia’s mind if she didn’t face Tanya at that time she knew that a future fifth attack would certainly follow and might prove fatal to her. We must all ask ourselves what we would have done under the same circumstances. It’s easy to say go to the authorities but that didn’t work for Sylvia on three previous occasions. Emotions, egos, alcohol and a hand gun are always a dangerous mix. This became a tragedy the moment Tanya decided to attempt to take the gun away from Sylvia. They struggled violently for control of the weapon. For both parties this was a life and death situation. Neither party could afford to relinquish the gun to the other. Ultimately the unthinkable happened. The gun was accidentally fired and Laura Banuelos was fatally shot.

As the shot was fired Tanya’s hand was seared with gun power burns. She let go of the weapon in pain. Everyone went into shock as no one expected this to happen. This was much like two children scuffling in their parents’ home and something was accidentally broken. Their feeling was we are in trouble now. At first no one appeared to have been hit. Instead of everyone running away they just began to slowly walk away. Then after a few steps Laura began to stagger. After walking about 50 feet she collapsed. This bullet couldn’t have done more damage if it had been deliberated aimed and fired. This single 22 caliber magnum bullet entered Laura’s right lung, made an abrupt left turn, severed an artery to the heart and then lodged in the left lung. It was all over for Laura in less than a minute.

The police arrived and Sylvia was arrested. While awaiting trial in County Jail, Sylvia heard via the inmate grapevine that another inmate was bragging about having shot the celebrity Sylvia Boots. After L.A.P.D. learned of this they did a six-pack photo identification session with Sylvia. On February 4, 2004 Sylvia positively identified Mr. Jorge Espinoza as the man who beat her, stole her car on August 18, 2002 and later shot her on September 8, 2002.

Tanya Amadore and Jorge Espinoza are well known to Detectives Chuck Morales of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Dwaine Anderson and Mike Coffee of L.A.P.D. for these and other crimes they have committed in the community. These crimes are still being investigated.

Sylvia was put on trial in Beverly Hills, a city that borders Hollywood. These two cities are culturally light years apart. If Sylvia truly had a jury of her peers, then a West Hollywood jury would have been preferred.

Judge Richard A. Stone, a pleasant agreeable man on the surface presided over her trial. The prosecutor was Mrs. Bita Ahdoot. Sylvia’s attorney was Mr. Gary J. Kaufman of Century City.

The prosecutor charged Sylvia with Murder in the first degree, Murder in the second degree, Voluntary Manslaughter, Involuntary Manslaughter and added an Armed Allegation charge, apparently hoping the jury would find her guilty of something.

Her trial lasted only one week. Her defense rested after one day. Her jury decided her fate in about five hours - all this after awaiting trial in County Jail for l4 months. Can there be a just murder trial in one short week?

The prosecutor convinced the jury that Sylvia had intended to shoot Tanya, but accidentally shot Laura. She went on to explain that under an obscure interpretation of the law that they were to consider that Sylvia had intended to shoot Laura, thus making a Second Degree Murder verdict possible.

This is quite a stretch of logic as well as the law. The application of the law in this fashion, in a case of self-defense in which there are so many mitigating circumstances, was never intended.

Sylvia’s attorney pointed out that this transference of intent was meant to apply to a sniper situation wherein a sniper would be shooting at specific people and accidentally hitting an unintended person. This then is a catch 22 situation for the State. It allows them to hold a person liable for a greater offense than was actually committed. To apply this to Sylvia’s case is immoral and uncompassionate.

By law an accidental killing is not Murder. It is Involuntary Manslaughter at most.

In order to be guilty of second degree Murder you have to have shown intent and premeditation beyond a reasonable doubt. There is plenty of reasonable doubt in this case. The gun is fired only once. It is fired only when Tanya has her hands on it and is trying to take it away from Sylvia. As Sylvia’s attorney and others pointed out, this gun was never fired when Sylvia had sole control of the weapon. This proves that Sylvia never had any intent. Without intent this case falls apart and comes down to Involuntary Manslaughter at the worst and self defense at the best.

This court would not see that this was actually a tragic accident and not an intentional act. The Judge in this case wasn’t swayed by the 58 people who all wrote letters and signed a petition urging him to reduce Sylvia’s sentence down to an Involuntary Manslaughter. This judge threw the book at her. The correct sentence for Second Degree Murder is l5 years to life according to section l90a of the Penal Code. This judge sentenced her to 20 years to life by applying the wrong Penal Code section. He apparently cited section 190d. It reads as follows. “Every person guilty of murder in the second degree shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a term of 20 years to life if the killing was perpetrated by means of shooting a firearm from a motor vehicle, intentionally at another person outside of the vehicle with the intent to inflict great bodily injury.” This gun was never fired from within a vehicle. The struggle for control of this gun took place well outside of any vehicle. He next applied an Armed Allegation section l2022.53d and added an additional 25 years to life. After that he still wasn’t finished. He ordered a $10,000 restitution fine to be paid to Laura’s family, if Sylvia is ever released on parole. None of these additional charges could have been added if Sylvia had been found guilty of Manslaughter or less. This is a high price to pay for an accidental shooting in which Sylvia did not have control of the weapon.

The person perceived to be morally responsibility for this tragedy by the Hollywood Community is Tanya, but the law does not try people for moral guilt, only legal and because of the self-defense aspect Tanya escapes all legal consequences for her actions. In all fairness to Tanya, she is reported to be very distraught over Laura’s death. Everyone involved in this tragedy knows it was a tragic accident and suffers for it.

Sylvia was sentenced on July 27, 2004 to 45 years to life. Given all of the mitigating circumstances in this case, is this justice? Sylvia’s friends are unable to afford a second attorney to handle her appeal at this time. It is hoped that this story will persuade a prominent appeals attorney to defend Sylvia without charge. This case cries out for a correct and compassionate justice. This was after all a tragic accident in which the verdict and punishment do not fit the case. Has there been a more unjust verdict since the O.J. Simpson trial?


Who was the source of this story Amara Vadillo if so sorry but that is just one side and it does sound very biased.




shooting (killing) someone isnt self defense nor should it ever be.First of all, I don't know what Calif. law has to say about it, but in Missouri, you are responsible for that bullet once you fire the pistol. However, one might argue (rightly so) that Sylvia was not in controll of the pistol, so she could not be held responsible. Secondly, it's not like Sylvia put the pistol to the "victim's" head. The pistol fired during a struggle where neither party had controll of it.

That's why I wouldn't give her any more than 5 years.

Oh, and it was my life that was in imminent danger, and I had no other way out, you better believe I'd shoot (kill) the SOB!


Your kidding right she held a gun at some one and your trying to say there's no intent clearly she was going to use it otherwise why would it be loaded if it was for scare tactics.

Trying to say she was not in control also is a joke why would she remove the saftey on the gun in first place if she wasn't going to use it the accident as you claim wouldn't happen with safety on.

Their is different degrees of danger and self defence is not pulling a gun on un armed people it's like saying its right to carry knifes around because some one might attack you that attitude is what is the cause of this sort of situation.

Tinsel Town T-Girl Tragedy
This is the true story of the rise and fall, of Sylvia Boots an internationally known transsexual porn star.

Her story is one of life in the fast lane. It takes place in Hollywood Ca. and is wilder than anything that Hollywood’s best writers, high on cocaine could ever dream up.

Sylvia’s real name is Amara Vadillo. She began her career, as have many transsexuals as a Gay-Boy. It was her life long childhood friend Rogelio Coto; also from Cuba; who helped Sylvia transition from a Gay-Boy into one of the most beautiful Queens in Hollywood. He helped Sylvia inject herself with hormones and slowly the metamorphosis worked its magic. Three breast enhancements later and Sylvia is a massive 34 DDD. Her adult video salary assumed equally impressive proportions.

Sylvia made it to the top of the adult video world and not on good looks alone. Sylvia is a people person and her personality charmed all she came in contact with. This heterosexual writer has known many beautiful real women in his lifetime, but few have had the inner charm, grace and personality that is Sylvia’s. Sylvia got along well with all her contemporaries in the adult video industry Alissa, Brenda Perez, Sofia Santos and Vo D’ Balm just to name a few.

There was however one Queen that she could not win over, Tanya Amadore. There had long been an extreme animosity between them. The source of Tanya’s hatred for Sylvia apparently jealousy and envy.

The first of four confrontations takes place between them in the Arena Club. Inside the club the two Queens were staring daggers at each other. Outside the club Sylvia was attacked by three of Tanya’s friends. Tanya did not physically participate in the attack but looked on with glee and made sure that Sylvia knew she was responsible for it. Sylvia filed a criminal complaint with the L.A.P.D. at that time.

On August l8, 2002 Sylvia again came into conflict with Tanya. She unknowingly dated Tanya’s boyfriend Mr. Jorge Espinoza. They met at the Plaza Club. Following the date at Sylvia’s apartment Jorge brutally beat Sylvia and stole her new Ford Mustang convertible. The following morning Tanya called Sylvia on the phone and taunted her. She asked how did it feel to be beaten up and have your car stolen. Sylvia responded in kind and told Tanya “Your friend is a faggot; ask him how he liked being fucked in the ass”. Tanya was furious! If beating Sylvia up and stealing her car were a part of Tanya’s plan, Jorge having sex with Sylvia definitely was not.

Sylvia then realized that there was a connection between Tanya and Jorge. She didn’t know that they were in fact boyfriend and girlfriend. Again Sylvia filed a complaint with the L.A.P.D. case #021500009.

Three weeks later on September 8, 2002 Jorge returned to Sylvia’s apartment and attempted to murder her by firing a bullet into her head. Sylvia miraculously survived and will carry this bullet in her head for the rest of her life, as it is inoperative. Again for the third time Sylvia filed a complaint with the L.A.P.D. case #021526214. After this third attack a police officer unofficially advised Sylvia to carry a weapon for self-defense. At this point the true identity of Jorge was not yet known. All the police had to go on was an artist’s sketch and a suspicion that he was associated with Tanya.

Six and a half months later on March 17, 2003 in an after hours restaurant known as the Yukon a chance encounter took place between Sylvia and Tanya in the women’s restroom. Both exchanged gender based insults. Sylvia coming off with some that were quite funny, as this writer had never heard them before.

googled :shrug

Your kidding right she held a gun at some one and your trying to say there's no intent clearly she was going to use it otherwise why would it be loaded if it was for scare tactics.

Trying to say she was not in control also is a joke why would she remove the saftey on the gun in first place if she wasn't going to use it the accident as you claim wouldn't happen with safety on.

Their is different degrees of danger and self defence is not pulling a gun on un armed people it's like saying its right to carry knifes around because some one might attack you that attitude is what is the cause of this sort of situation.

[tjinla2001]

If you'd ever serviced Sylvia's cock you'd want her to be free. It was magnificent. However, when she is free she will immediately going to be deported. Furthermore, I understand she has a nasty bug that she can't shake.

[loren]

Your kidding right she held a gun at some one and your trying to say there's no intent clearly she was going to use it otherwise why would it be loaded if it was for scare tactics.Yes, she pulled a pistol, but the other girl grabbed it and they struggled for controll. Sylvia dod not take an aimed shot at the victum. I bet the prosecuter didn't even bother to try to prove whether Sylvia's finger was even on the trigger when the pistol discharged (fired).


Trying to say she was not in control also is a joke why would she remove the saftey on the gun in first place if she wasn't going to use it the accident as you claim wouldn't happen with safety on.She probably did intend to shoot her attacker. I don't know about anyone else, but when I carry, I carry with the safety off: :shock: :o. And :o:shock: OMG :!: , I carry loaded, however the chamber is empty. If its in my house, I usually have the safety on.


Their is different degrees of danger and self defence is not pulling a gun on un armed people it's like saying its right to carry knifes around because some one might attack you that attitude is what is the cause of this sort of situation.Again, I don't know about Calif. law, but in Missouri, all you need is a credible threat of imminent death or bodily harm.
One case that was cited in my CCW class was the guy in Louisiana. A Japanese college student was on his way to a Halowene party. A man saw the student approach his door (the student went to the wrong place). The man believed the student was there to break-in to his house. He ordered the student to stop (the student couldn't speak English). The student kept on advancing. The man said "Stop or I'll shoot." The student did not stop. The man shot and killed the student. The shooting was rulled justified, because the man had a credible threat at the time of the shooting.

Well it happened in CA not Missouri so :shrug

Atleast Sylvia still has a lot of sexual partners. She must be getting pounded in prison... ha

Great find chrismo12
I always felt that the original article was missing some "facts".

But I wonder why the appeal did not focus on the possible misapplication of the sentecing guidelines.

I always thought that the charges were accurate but her attorney missed many opp during the trial to being up objections to certain stated facts. Appeal courts do not want to retry the facts and the time to object is during the original trial. Her attorney missed multiple opp to object.

[Beagle]

These Boots weren't made for walkin....

[yodajazz]

One possible irony of the whole story is that Tanya was reported to have died a couple of years later from silicone injections or related problems. If Sylvia could have waited, her 'enemy' would have self destructed anyway; if the rumor is true.

The other irony is that they were both physically beautiful women, but thier beauty did not bring them happiness inside, apparently.

[yodajazz]

I have heard lots about this story over the years, but I never saw a picture of Tanya. Along with the story. Once when the story was out previously I thought about some pictures I had of a 'Tanya' in LA at the time. A person who knew about the scene told me that these were pics of the actual Tanya involved with the Sylvia Boots story. Since she has been reported to have died, I don't see any harm in posting these photos. A person that said that she died, even named th LA area hospital where it supposedly took place. Still there are others who said that she returned to Mexico. If anyone has information to the otherwise, feel free to post.

[yodajazz]

Two more of Tanya. These were from and event in LA in maybe 2002-03 called "the Twelve most Beautiful Transexuals". Look at that body! At the time I first saw this she was one of the most beautiful transexuals I had ever seen. She was the most beautiful of the twelve.

[yodajazz]

And just for comparision here are 9 of the other 11. There was a photo session for the girls after, but Tanya was not there.

Some of the names are Alexia Acosta, Miriam, Leslie, and Devanny. All these pics were from a Website called transexualplanet.net, which is now defunct. Also I recognize the one in the hot pink, who did her first porn under the name of Charlotte Deveroux. She eventually moved to NYC, is the subject of a thread or two here.

Also for the sake of this page, I'll post another picture of Sylvia.
