Sosua Reports

[La Isla]

Thats not the entire story. The individual did a whole lot more to her than just post her pics on the internet and im a leave it at that.

If you have something pertinent to say, and important for others to know, then say it. Saying you know something, and then not saying it, is childish at best.

You telling me, he couldnt get bail??? Posting pics on the internet is as bad as capital murder there, where you cant get bail??? I find this really hard to believe. The fact that you saw it happen, i guess i have to belive it happened. But how could he not get bail?

I woulda spent the $2000 on the cops to let me get on the next plane.

Bail???? Please tell me that you're not serious. EVERY country is not the USA. Also, bail does no good, if they take away your passport, or hinder you otherwise from leaving the island. This happens quite often with rental cars and motorcycles returned damaged there.

It might've been a shakedown.

Or, it might have been true, and $2k was the cost of getting caught fucking up and making it go away. Either way, he shouldn't have put himself in that position.

It sounds a little fishy but I guess you saw it. But I am wondering how could she prove it was him and who told her about the pictures on the net?

There's a lot of holes to the story??/??

If you can provide more info on this??

Well you can be sure if it is true and she got the dough, the cops and the lawyers got a nice slice. This is the kind of thing that will ruin tourism there.

Hey guys,

I just got back from Sosua and a down there was sitting in a restaurant having something to eat with a few other mongers and a chica with a lawyer and cop with her walked over to him and said "thats the guy that posted my picture on the internet"

The guy was taken in and booked and put in jail where he had gotten a little roughed up.

Turns out the chica and her lawyer wanted $25, 000 U. S. To drop the charges. The guy got a lawyer and from how I heard it went down was that he was advised that he could fight it but that his case would not come up on the courts calendar for 6 months to a year and he would have to wait it out in jail.

Heard he settled the matter with $2, 000 U. S. For the chica.

Major scam! This is the second such incident that I've heard of this year

I think we can all benefit from reading the story . What NOT to do is a very important aspect of mongering.

I knew it had to be more than just posting pics, and you would be a fool to let them know if you posted there pics, or even video taped them. Put some black tape over the red light, LOL. I see alot of younger guys when i'm down there you have to use your brains, remember you are not in the united states, and these people do anything for money!

I know how you feel Sixpaku. I am in the legal field and was stunned when a few years ago I became aware that the D. R. Is governed by Old Spaniard law where "YOU ARE GUILTY TILL PROVEN INNONCENT"

Even though I allready new this when I heard this story it still shocked me and sent chills down my spine as to how vulnerable a tourist actually is in the D. R.

I left out a little something that shoked the guy who was giving me the details about this incident. Turns out he said that the chica was with her lawyer and a cop and that the lawyer had what he called a generic suponea that didn't even have this guys name on it.

I explained to him that this is not that unusual and is done here in the states as well it is called a John Doe warrant here where it has only a description on it.

I only know what I was told by a friend of this individual and felt it was something that I was obligated to pass on to any fellow mongers now in the D. R. Or going to go there. Something that we all should aware of.

Another guy has stated that the chicas down there are alll talking about how much money this chica got. These other chicas may start soon getting ideas as well as some lawyers as well if you know what I mean.

As I said this is the "SECOND" such incident I know of this year and the first one the charges made against the guy were totally bogus and yet he still had to pay more than the $2000 that this second guy did to settle the matter

Anyone that has any more info please feel free to share.

Inaccurate post. The pics weren't enough so she said he made physical threats to her which I believe is bullshit. Steve from Las Vegas was the novio and made her aware of the pics and either: a) cut her off or b)helped influence this incident.

The victims mistake was probably allowing her lawyer to "arrest" him and take him to to Puerto Plata Jail, he should not have went (was not physically forced to go) and called local contacts and Sosua police from the restaurant. Nothing more than another tourist shakedown, the pics only started the process.

Funinthesun

Yes I remember clearly we spoke one morning. We talk about ISC site.

I remember asking you about SD. I was planing a trip down that way.

You said you were from the maple leaf country. This was in Febuary.

At the time you were staying at the garden while I was next door in an apartment at casa valeria.

Both The Palms and the Trade Winds are just up the hill from the car wash.

The Trade winds is the better of the two. The owner of Britannia has for or
five apartments for rent at the palms. I am renting year round for 350 monthly.
I plan on having a better look at the Trade Winds to buy later.

For me it is not all about the chica. I can walk down the hill from the palms and end up at the gym. that is on the main drag (pedro C.) inn ten minutes I am at passions. another ten minutes I am at the beach.

At nigh you take motoconcho down Pedro C. Take a right and you are five
minutes away. It is not for eveyone. I am living there now. I am Captain of a ship. After a hundred days in Nigeria, Walking in the small village of Sousa is a pleasure.

Hope to see you again soon. I arrive June 7th. and depart to Nigeria the end of July. All the best!

Funinthesun- did we not talk last time you were at the new garden?

I work in nigeria and live in DR now.

Cap

Hey Cap, it's possible we met. I stayed at NG the last 2 weeks in January. Met lots of people but can't recall for sure if we met. When you mention you work in Nigeria it seems to ring a bell for some reason.
I was back in March for a week but stayed at Rocky's as NG was full but still dropped by NG daily to hang out. Anything else you can tell me that might jog my memory?
I'm really interested in a condo/apartment for my next trip. The centally located hotels have alot of plusses but my biggest complaint is the noise. Is it any better on the outskirts in that respect? Thanks. Funinthesun

[Funinthesun63]

The place are great for the money. No, you cannot walk it at night shit-faced and with your chica. It is a mile from Dr. Rosen going towards carbarete.

Cap

Thanks for the info Capt. I know where the car wash is. So its across the street from there? Tradewinds is close by as well? These are the condos that Marco from Rocky's runs? I stayed at Rocky's in March for a week, a very basic place to say the least but good food. Would have liked to try the condos but they were all full. I guess there's pro's and cons to location. Walking distance is nice but price and availability are the main concerns. Being centrally located gives proximity to the beach during the day as well as nite activities. Still tossing up trying something away from the action next trip. Motoconchos are always available.

Thanks
