This girl just wanted to have fun!
A stripper accused of drugging and swindling a wealthy doctor into spending six figures at the West Side strip club Scores says she was with the guy simply because she wanted a good time.
Queens resident Marsi Rosen says in court papers that she was hanging out with cardiologist Dr. Zyad Younan at the West 28th Street flesh emporium last year “for the sole purpose of leisure, socializing, networking, partying and enjoying and promoting nightlife.”
In Manhattan Civil Court papers filed this week, the buxom 28-year-old insists Younan was a willing “customer” and “party companion” — not a victim.
But Manhattan narcotics prosecutor Bridget Brennan says Rosen is a cunning con artist.
Brennan took down an alleged ring in June, nabbing Rosen and three other vixens, as well as a man who manages a Queens strip club, for allegedly targeting rich marks, slipping tranquilizers and the party drug Molly into their drinks, and then charging their credit cards for phony services.
Rosen counters in the legal papers that the Holmdel, NJ, doctor “ingested substances of his own volition.”
Her attorney, Helen Wu, has said Younan has “buyer’s remorse.” She has asked the prosecutor to drop charges against her client at a court appearance in October.
After Younan, 41, asked his credit-card company to cancel the charges, Rosen still pursued him, sending relentless text messages Nov. 26 and 27 demanding payment, according to court papers.
When the demands failed, Rosen tried a softer approach — cooing by text message, “I just want to explain to you what the charges are about . . . This isn’t the Zyad I know and love. It’s the holidays babe these poor girls need there [sic] $, have a heart.”
Younan’s spokeswoman, Karen Kessler, said, “Marsi Rosen’s response . . . did not surprise us. This is part of a criminal investigation. There will be other opportunities to hear from her.”
