New York Adult Entertainment: Officers respond to residents’ complaints
Police have acted to close a suspected brothel after receiving complaints from nearby residents.
…
Police said the two-bed flat was arranged as a brothel.
…
The woman who opened the door told police she was a former prostitute who had set up a brothel as a means of “keeping her girls safe from the streets.”
…
He said: “We are satisfied that with the lists, book-keeping, card machine etc, this is a brothel.
“We would have made arrests only if there were under-18s working here, if anybody was working here against their will or there was evidence that the brothel was part of a serious or organised crime racket and there was none of that.”
The officer said the brothel charged £50 for half an hour, £35 of which went to the girl and the rest to the house.
