Former Doll House owners pleads guilty to more charges

Santiago Steven Maese, 32, the former owner of the Doll House escort service, has pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges that wrap up a witness tampering case against him.

Maese had been charged with witness tampering, a third-degree felony, and stalking, a class A misdemeanor, in connection with allegations that he had harassed his former girlfriend and Doll House business partner, Tiffany French Curtis.

Maese this week pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted acting as a private investigator without a license, both class B misdemeanors. Third District Judge Randall Skanchy sentenced Maese to 12 months probation, which is to run concurrently with a term of probation Maese already is serving for his convictions on charges connected to the operation of the Doll House.
