Gal shimmies out of jail time in stripper con

A SWINDLING stripper was sentenced Wednesday to five years probation for her role in drugging gentlemen’s club patrons and charging hefty amounts to their credit cards.

Samantha Barbash, 43, was part of a major bust in 2014 by the feds, NYPD and the office of the special narcotics prosecutor targeting the Scores and Roadhouse jiggle joints in Manhattan and Queens.

Barbash and other seductive scam artists spiked drinks with ketamine and molly, prosecutors said.

They took four victims for about $200,000, prosecutors said at the time of their arrest.

The victims, when they complained about the charges, were blackmailed with incriminating photos and text messages. IN A STUNNING move, a Queens judge has directed the city Correction Department to force a convicted fraudster to serve his full one-year sentence.

Judge Michael Aloise ordered Darrell Beatty to serve the full 365 days of his sentence, rather than be released after eight months on April 30 for good behavior.

Beatty, 52, was sent to jail for using a phony deed to swipe Jennifer Merin’s Laurelton house in 2014. He also allegedly sold her family heirlooms.

At Beatty’s sentencing in September, Aloise said, “I’m going to sentence you to one year. And I will recommend that he does every single day of it.”

On Wednesday, he reiterated that sentiment and appeared to turn it into a direct order to the Correction Department. “My direction stands,” Aloise said. “I’m going to recommend that your client serves every minute of every day of the year that he was sentenced,” the judge told Beatty’s lawyer Scott Davis.

Merin, 73, has mounted a campaign to stop Beatty’s early release.

On Wednesday, she called what happened “estate rape.” She noted that Beatty lived illegally in her house for 10 months — two months longer than he would serve in jail under the current rules.

“He obliterated my family legacy,” she said. “It’s as though he were a Nazi taking over my house. My life has been turned upside down. I’m not seeking revenge; I’m seeking justice.”

The Queens district attorney’s office backed Merin.

“The people stand behind that full sentence,” prosecutor Christine Burke said.

Wednesday’s unprecedented decision is a challenge to the long-standing practice in city jails of releasing inmates who have done two-thirds of their sentence as long as they have not committed any infractions.

About 10,000 inmates served time on Rikers last year, 9,500 of whom got early release, a Correction spokeswoman said.

Beatty’s lawyer said Aloise has no jurisdiction to force him to serve the full term.

During the five-minute hearing, Davis noted that the law says the correction commissioner alone has the power to grant or deny early release.

That decision “shall be final and shall not be reviewable if made in accordance with law,” the correction code states.The Correction Department “will review today’s court decision,” a spokeswoman said.
