Portland stripclub child trafficking bust
http://www.oregonlive.com/beaverton/...ret_linke.html
What really sucks is obviously that the two girls were being abused.
But the club was not directly involved; it was one of the managers working a side deal with a pimp.
Now their business has naturally dropped way off, they have lost a lot of girls, etc.
I know the DJs there and in a lot of the other Portland clubs from Facebook DJ groups. Naturally there is quite a bit of discussion about it going on now.
These fucking pimps have got to go. Apparently they are common in Portland (as well as Miami).
Thank all the gods my present club has a No Tolerance policy, but I have worked in other clubs which didn't, and came very close to getting into it with them on more than one occasion. And if anything I am less inclined to restrain myself the longer I am in the business.
Re: Portland stripclub child trafficking bust
If I was ever to start dancing again & had my choice of clubs, I would want to go where you are Djoser b/c you actually give a shit. My home club in Tx had good bouncers & my djs kept an eye on me but it just disgusts me how few ppl seem to care that getting busted for that shit affects them as well as the dancers.

^^^ unfortunately, this negative publicity may result in intensified LE activity in all area clubs ... even though the clubs themselves and the dancers working in them had no direct involvement with the alleged trafficking.
Re: Portland stripclub child trafficking bust
That's horrible - especially to hear the girls are so young.
So does that mean the club managers are involved - how do they not know whats going on and these girls are 13?
Re: Portland stripclub child trafficking bust
One of the managers was in with the pimp running the girls. The girls never actually worked in the club, but the pimp would make them available to certain customers he met in the club. The pimp also apparently gave them meth.
The ownership never knew about this, supposedly. Nor the vast majority of the other staff.
