From my second link above, the “salacious bits”
“But the more interesting local angle of the story is Marta’s connection to controversial Rockwood School Board member Jessica Clark, who was elected in April 2022. Clark’s claim to fame was that she was the first person elected to a school board after proudly holding the title, “Sugar Baby.”
It turns out, from all appearances, that Marta was her first “Sugar Daddy."
In a since-deleted Facebook post dated February 10, 2020, Clark – posting under the name “Jessica Laurent” – displayed photos of herself with Marta. Under the heading “Jessica Laurent is with Fabian Marta,” there was this:
“On this day last year, I walked into this weird-ass party and met that weird-ass man (heart emoji). Now we spend our days being weird all day. It was pure magic. Cheers to the sweet life.” On the same day, Clark/Laurent also posted an invitation to “Sugar Ball” – “the finest sugar party experience” – at a place called “Elmo’s Love Lounge” in University City.“
“Perhaps it’s a sign of my advanced years that sugaring is a phrase with which I wasn’t familiar until Clark burst on the scene. I’ve tried to get up to speed, and here’s the best definition I was able to find from a law firm online:
“Over the past decade, an unconventional method of dating, known as sugaring, has become more and more popular. Sugaring is when a younger woman and an older, wealthy man form a relationship where the man, the sugar daddy, gives the woman, the sugar baby, money and gifts in exchange for the time they spend together.
“The phenomenon often draws comparisons to prostitution. Both prostitution and sugaring involve exchanging money for intimate services. While sugaring does not always include sexual acts, it is often part of the arrangement. Those who are involved in sugaring often differentiate between prostitution and sugaring by emphasizing the dating aspect of sugaring. They say that prostitution is flat out exchanging money for sex, and being a sugar baby is more similar to being in a consensual, adult relationship where your partner supports you financially.”

He successfully lobbied, Jim claims, to have her elected to the Rockwood School Board. She ran a ‘Sugar Boot Camp’ that taught ladies how to conduct themselves at ‘Sugar’ parties.
‘Sugar party’ hosts advertise them as ways for the youth to earn money by engaging in platonic relationships with older, wealthier people. However, anti-sex trafficking advocates claim these parties are conduits into sex trafficking. Marnie Becker, the director of Stolen Youth, a non-profit that works to eliminate child sex trafficking, wrote on The Imprint:
“Sugaring is when an older person, usually a male, offers payment to a younger person in return for companionship. Really, it’s being veiled as prostitution, because it’s rarely just for companionship — usually there is the expectation [of] sex. It’s becoming more common and normalized. It’s all over the internet, social media — you see the hashtag ‘#sugardaddy’ or ‘#sugarbaby,’ and it’s become very normalized.”
