I went in to dance Monday and just now got home. Vice had undercover cops workin and they raided us (Men's Club in Dallas) around midnight- they gave everyone a hard time, and they took me and 2 other girls to jail. The girls hauled in with me got prostitution charges- they danced a song or two each for the undercovers and allegedly gave a price when asked for extras. They vehemently deny this, and I didn't see it or know them well but neither had a bad record or reputation. I danced a couple for an undercover, then sold him a hour with me in VIP for $300 plus the $100 bottle, and turned him down flat for extras at least 3 times. Still, about 20 mins into our hour they pull me and charge me with a lesser 'public lewdness', then when I was booked they took the $300 back. They never told me exactly what I'd done to earn that charge, and even now I still don't know, but technically the law states that not maintaining a half foot buffer is a crime (which is to say all dancers in Dallas are perpetually guilty) so I'm guessing that's it, but still, apparently arrest for my lesser charge is atypical (officers in the jail were surprised I was taken in for it), and I have no priors of ANY kind...
In retrospect, my feeling is that vice wanted their $300 back, and also wanted to have something to show for the $140 spent on my bottle and dances (they spent much less on the other girls), so they charged me with what they could to take me in.And then jail was just hell... not even going there, anyway my pals bailed me out as fast as they could, but even so I was incarcerated 24 hours total, and part of it in 'real' jail (where you wear stripes). The other girls got out too- one before me and one after, but they seperated us so I didn't know that while I was in. I stayed with a pal nearby and she helped me tie up loose ends today, just now home and trying to get my head around all this and figure out what's next
I called my club and was told the owner wants to speak with me, and girl B did same and heard same- we hope he'll be understanding and supportive, but are worried we may just be formally fired as examples. I think her and girl A's situation is more dire than mine since their charge is worse, but ultimately none of us have any experience with this and we're wondrin the same things: If we're fired, what are other options- would other clubs hire us if the charge sticks? Do we have a chance in hell of shaking it? If we need to fight it, can we find good lawyers and afford the cash and time it'll require? What are the chances this will happen to us again? WTH was vice doing in our club to begin with?! No place is perfect right, but any occassional shadiness there is NOTHING compared to what happens regularly at some other places in town. >.< %^@#$^#!!! Just, insane shit, and reeling over it all...
send hugs and advice please!!![]()
