Forced to dance for her Rapist
One of the performers was nearly raped on Monday night. She is at least the third victim of the attacker.
He came in last night on her shift, and she was told that she had to perform for him despite the fact that she was nearly raped by this guy 3 days ago.
She is worried that he is now following her, as this was her first shift back at the James st venue since the incident, and he 'happened' to come in to see her.
Stuart has banned him from the Barrack street Venue, but apparently he is still allowed to see the girls at James st.
After he attacked his second victim he was told that he was not to have Private strips anymore, yet he came in to get a strip with a new performer and new counterstaff, who were unaware of this risk.
However as she is his THIRD (at least) victim in Club X alone, and he has been told that he is not allowed to have strips, surely he should be kept away from the performers? I am terrified that he will continue to prey upon the girls, and his victims are considering legal steps, to protect fellow performers.
Surely as subcontractor the girls have a right to refuse to perform, regardless of him being a paying customer?
I am extremely unwilling to expose the performers to this danger, please advise

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
What... the.... shit??? I just seriously cant find words... Gah. These girls REALLY need to press charges. And why that scumbag is even allowed on the property is beyond me. NO one should be forced to dance for ANYone, let alone someone like that.

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
I'm not aware of australian law, but these girls should most definitely press as many legal charges as they can. That's not even a suggestion, that's something they NEED to be doing, NOW. If he isn't stopped now, he'll take it as a green light to take it further.

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
Why isn't he in prison?
And may I add that there is no power on this earth that could FORCE me to do such a thing!

You're goddam right surely. >:(

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
I can believe she was physically or mentally able. This is so sick. I feel like I'm going to be ill. Refuse if you're requested to "entertain" this scumbag. Say you've got diarrhea, or need to change your tampon before you leak all over the place, something. This is so aweful.
Uhhh! I'm so mad about this!

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
I do know Australian law - and he should have charges pressed on him. My guy's hearing is in two weeks and all he did was proposition me and grab me in public. He didn't try to rape me and he's already getting his ass kicked.

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
It's already been said but WTF? Is the club hurting for customers so bad the owners would let that guy in? They would MAKE her dance for him? I've had exes who pissed me off banned from my club, and I have the right to ask anyone I feel uncomfy with banned. I don't see how this could ever happen. I don't see how you could MAKE anyone dance for ANYONE. I know this is in Australia, and the laws may be slightly different, but Jesus, it can't be all that different. Furthermore, I would walk out of the club sooner than I would dance for that guy. Can't imagine. Actually have a headache forming now...

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
Fucking hell!
Maybe she or one / all of the other girls should think about pressing charges against him and / or getting a restraining order?
Laws vary from state to state but I am absolutly sure that every dancer has the right to refuse to dance for anyone if they dont want to. The basic reasoning behind this is that if you dont have this right then you dont have any rights period.
Do you have a sex worker advise group in WA - they hopefully should be able to help you with the legals even though they mostly tend to deal with prostitution. Unfortunatly the names of these groups seems to be different in every state. Also it definatly sounds like something needs to be done about security. Is it legal not to have any? (or do you have some but they're just not on the ball?)

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
Oh and if he comes in again get as many details about him as possible even if you dont know his name etc then a good description of his appearence (take a photo if you can get away with it safely) and take it to the police and even if no-one presses charges make a complaint. In Qld they dont act on one complaint, but if they get a few they will look into it.
Edited to add re photo: I certainly dont mean doing it in a way that could anger the mand or make him behave any worse. Im thinking extreme discreteness or security tapes.

Yes you do have the right to refuse not to dance for them
im sorry to hear of this .. this is all our worst fears in this industry comming true.. its not right and really something should do something about it b4 someone ends up dead ..
i hope that who he has raped have pressed charges

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
Oh yeah - who ever made the girl dance for the customer is possibly also breaking the law. I would say that there are some definate violations of the law if you force someone into a dangerous situation / tell someone that their job is at risk unless they do something which could lead to them being sexually assulted.
Unfortunatly strippers dont always get taken very seriously, but still I think this is pretty damned serious!

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
No one could make me dance for him. I don't understand how one can be made to dance for someone. Sure she may have been encouraged...but was she forcibly made? Did someone hold a gun to her head?
Yeah this guy should have charges pressed against him, and quite honestly...this girl should be responsible for that, and before it happens to someone else.
These clubs sound pathetic also. To let shit like this happen under their roof sickens me.

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
This is so maddening and ridiculous its hard to even believe. Ugh.

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
I can't believe you're even having to ask. Why hasn't he been banned and the cops called on this fucker??? Someone WILL get raped and possibly worse if you people let this jerkoff keep coming around. So fucking WHAT if he's paying??? I cannot believe the sheer inhumanity of fucking club management!!!! :mad:
JUST GET RID OF HIM!!!

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
Im having trouble editing...
Also a list of legal advice centres in WA. I think Im right in saying that everyone is entitled to a free half hours free advice at The Citizens Advice Beaureu. Use it if you need it! And good luck with getting rid of this arsehole!

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
Just keep in mind that any club that allows this behavior puts themselves on the burner when something bad happens. Make $20 bucks now or payout $150,000 later...it's stupid, but that's club management for ya!
-
Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
^^^Right. Not only is this ASSHOLE a huge risk to the girls, but the clubs are allowing him to put the club at risk as well...its effing STUPID.
He needs to be charged with these crimes...by each girl he has attacked, I can't believe this shit gets blown off so easily.

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
I'm a member of Scarlet Alliance that Aussie mentioned. They will definitely help you. Scarletalliance.com.au

Re: Forced to dance for her Rapist
I've worked for Club X (and was actually sexually harassed by one of the managers. Apparently I was his second victim). Anyway, I knew they were a fairly nasty operation, but not so nasty as to force a girl to dance for her attacker. That revolts me.
