Police believe porn actress Vanessa Luna used her real name, Ruth Planas, to help women enlarge their butts by operating an unlicensed clinic in a West Miami-Dade strip mall.
The clinic, called Cuerpos Health and Aesthetic, was shuttered after a 28-year-old mother, Suyima Torres, died following a botched butt lift performed there. Prosecutors have charged Jose Robusto, a purported medical doctor in Venezuela, who they believe injected Torres with illegal and dangerous liquid silicone at the facility.
But nearly a year after his arrest, authorities have been unable to build a case against clinic owner Planas, who claimed no injections were ever done at the business. Planas insisted she only used the clinic to sell cosmetic products, pitch Herbalife nutritional supplements and, a couple times a week, perform on live X-rated web videos.
