Sosua police action against working girls...

Berzin · #1 02-12-2005, 07:08 PM

Apparently someone had stated that this action was initiated by the AIs. This seems to be strange. First of all, AIs for the most part do not let working girls in to their hotels. The smaller hotels let them in and out with no problems, but the percentage of men who go on vacations to solicit this type of action is very small. So why do the AIs care about this?

Most AIs in Sosua that I have noticed are more family oriented so any single traveller who wants to mingle with native dominicans for whatever reason are'nt really going to appreciate the sequestered atmosphere of an AI. I know

I would'nt and that's why I steer clear of them.
So why are the girls, who from my experience are pretty well-behaved in Sosua, being harrassed? This makes no sense on a few fronts-

1)90% of vacationers stay at AIs according to what I have read-so why do the AIs care about working girls who are'nt even allowed on their premises?

2)Why would the police charge so much money to let the girls out? 1500 pesos is I am sure alot more than the average girl can come up with-unless she is out WORKING!!!!

3)If the police are so corrupt, why are they chasing a population that cannot pat their way out of jail? How about the drug dealers? Why won't they after them?

Sorry, I'm just angry. Had to vent.

Isaid on the other thread, it was just a ruomer, and I didn't know. But what is said is that they have got complaint's from customers that has been unwanted approched by girls on the street. Some of theese girls also are good pick pockers, so many tourists has been robbed.
The problem is that the police don't go mainly after theese girls, but taking in every girl they see out at night.

Wow 1500 that's 3 times what it used to be. 90% of the girls on the streets at 1:00 to ?? AM are hookers. A big % are theives. No decent Dominican girls would be alone on the streets at that hour. I usually drive my barmaids to the "Wawa" stop after work. On a couple of occasions, when they walked alone on the street they were approached by the police. They told them in a nice way where they worked and went on their way. No big deal.

Its been happening in boca chica.....so i am not surprised it is happening in sosua.

When does guilliani run for president in the DR and sell the country over totaly to disney? just make it one big theme park!!!!

I DO underdstand wanting to clean things up a bit....i remember really getting ****ed off at a hooker grabbing at me last year.....

In my ignorant gringo opinion.....i think things will sorta stabalize (kinda like the peso vs the dollar). I hope that clubs open back up.....and i am sure the working girls and guys will return.....but perhaps with just not so much openess and gusto.

Got grabbed several times at PEDRO CLISANTE, SOSUA, early evening. In one case it was developing in a sort of wrestling, I was glad that a armed guard went in between, I am not sure how the whole thing would have gone without him.I was pretty concerned what would have happened if I had no other choice than applying physical force in order to get rid of her.
No win-win situation I guess

Which are the bars that had been closed?

And many people when they come here for vacation are scared to go out at night because of avances. I knew a divorced man who came on vacation with his 28 year old daughter and they went out to a bar one night and the man was swarmed and his daughter was appauled and they will Never again return to sosua!!

Put em in jail! Prostitution is illegal!

Prostitution is NOT illegal. Harrasment and pick pocketing is illegal. If the police wanted they could take out the bad girls, and leave the rest alone.
I have my ideas about why the situation is almost the opposite.

I was always told that it was illegal!!! Well, then I will stick to the theft and harrassment issue, lock em up!!

Prostitution is not illegal in the DR... just look around on the internet..

I agree with the harassment it was getting worse.. like Boca Chica...my first Dr trip I went to Boca chica.. on the internet the laguna seemed soo nice.. it was but I still left the place after 2 days because of the constant harassment by working girls..

From what I've seen and heard though, I get the impression that the police is only in it for the bucks.. they arrest girls who are working and who have money.. then make them pay a fine or perform a sexual service to be released again.. only to harass the tourist again with more desperation because they need money for whatever.. do not be fooled into thinking that the police is there for your benefit on this issue.. (if ever).. look after your own.. the police are just looking to get their share
