Police arrested 81 women and 7 men at an L.A. downtown "hostess" club raid. People that go to hostess clubs in L.A. are allowed to legally pay women for time and companionship but not for nudity or stripping. The 88 people were arrested at club 907 on Friday for suspicion of prostitution, lewd conduct, gambling and the use of counterfeit identification. Some of those arrested may have been illegal immigrant women trafficked into the U.S. and then forced to work at the club. Nearly three dozen officers took part in the raid. 400 people were crowded into a space with a capacity for only 250.
Stuff like this just makes me sick. I can't believe stuff like this still goes on in America. I can see something like this still happening in foreign countries, but something needs to be done. I'm glad the police got on this and stopped what was happening in that club. I understand that some people like to go to the club and some people like to go to the strip joints, but it's just sick that 400 people were packed into a place that holds a maximum capacity of 250 people just to take part in the illegal prostitution that was going on in this place. Some of those girls were taken from another country and forced to be in there and do that sickening job. I feel sorry for those poor girls. I would just want to die if somebody did that to me! Those people deserved to be arrested. I hope that whoever owned that club is getting a long sentence in prison. Whoever owns that place and is running that business is a sick person. It's one thing to have a choice at prostitution, but it's quite another to be doing it against your will. How on earth did they get all those people in there anyway? I bet the police had a hard time getting throught all the people.
This stuff is going on all over America. The owner will probably get a slap on the hand and most of those arrest will get a good attorney and get off. That's our legal system hard at work.
ReplyDeleteOh I am not surprised of this kind of thing. I bet this is everywhere in the U.S. and saddly enough the largest supporters of places like this a probably mostly government officials.
ReplyDeleteThis stuff goes on everywhere a lot of the times the owners pay of the police so that they can keep running it but I do agree that is messed up and sick that they forced those women to work there.
ReplyDeleteThat is ridiculous but the fact that this kind of stuff happens everywhere. It is very messed up that those women were forced to work there.
