from www.examiner.com – A woman found murdered last week in Monrovia has been identified as Felicia Lee, 31 – perhaps better known as soft-porn star Felicia Tang. Her boyfriend, Brian Lee Randone, 45, has been arrested and charged with torture and murder. He is believed to be a former preacher.
Randone, originally from Nebraska, was also a mime who performed a “special brand of ministry” in 1996 at Baylor University. Baylor is a “nationally ranked Christian university” in Texas. It appears Randone then moved on to California seeking a career in show business, and was “Mr. Nebraska” on Fox’s Sexiest Bachelor in America, a “pageant” of eligible bachelors from around the country.
Lee is listed on various sites as a soft-core porn actress, staring in such films as “Asian Fever” and “Hotel Decadence.” Her more mainstream credits are listed as:
“Cradle 2 The Grave” (Movie/Production: Warner Brothers); “Rush Hour 2” (Movie/Production: New Line Cinema); and she was featured in “The Fast And The Furious” (Movie/Production: Universal).
Under the California Penal Code , many are familiar with §187 as defining murder:
§187. (a) Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being, or a
fetus, with malice aforethought.
The additional charge, torture, is listed under Chapter 2, MAYHEM:
§206. Every person who, with the intent to cause cruel or extreme
pain and suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion,
or for any sadistic purpose, inflicts great bodily injury as defined
in Section 12022.7 upon the person of another, is guilty of torture.
The crime of torture does not require any proof that the victim
suffered pain.
206.1. Torture is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison
for a term of life.
Ms. Lee’s web-site, FeliciaTang.com, appears to now be defunct, but seekers need simply Google her name and a plethora of web-sites and photographs (warning: many are nude photos) are available for viewing.
Randone is being held on $2 million dollars bail, and a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson avers the investigation is ongoing.
