Prostitution in Boca Chica as shown on Dominican TV Station
A couple of minutes ago one of the DR tv channels that we have here in San Juan Puerto Rico presented a special report about Prostitution in Boca Chica.
In summary:
1) There is an increase of haitian prostitution in BC since the earthquake.
2) A significant % of the girls are younger than 18 so be aware of non cedula chicas.
3) The police is doing nothing against prostitution, in fact, they are profiting from it. A few phrases from the chicas: " they know we have money so they ask for 200 or 500 pesos to leave us alone","I earned 2, 000 pesos tonight and the Politur took it all";"some policemen ask for money, somo just take us to jail for a couple of days". A few phrases from Politur: "We are here to protect our visitors";"Some girls are thieves who act toghether with their boyfriends or chulos, they have attacked tourists, they have attacked us, some tourists has been seriously hurt";"we have moved to other areas some policemen we have evidence that have been profiting from this situation" "if a tourist is with a young chica we can't do nothing, she can be his daughter, his wife, if they are walking toghether on the streets that is not illegal unless they have sex in public with is illegal at all ages".
4) Most of the girls comes from outside Boca Chica. There is huge sex trade on weekend nights.
5) The reporter acted as a client and asked the girl how much for sex, some asked 3, 000 or 3, 500 all nighters but the reporter bargained to 1, 000 or 1, 500 in seconds. Girls are expert in conversion, they know how much, for example 3, 000 pesos are in dollars or euros. Some girls confessed that when they were rookies they engaged in sex for as low as 200 pesos.
6) The US government has issued warnings of economic sanctions against the DR if they do nothing against the haitian sex trade. Expect some action against prostitution in Boca Chica soon.
