"During the raid the police encountered, as they announced. 32 girls who were forced to offer sexual services.
The police freed them from their precarious situation, as informed the police".
Why does it say that the girls were forced to offer sexual services? I think it's not true but but I don't live in Sosùa.
"the police freed them from their precarious situation.". Are they serious. I broke into laughter when I read this because it's not true, it is?
Please tell me what you know of how it works.
Thanks

That being said I do not know the owner so I don't know what goes on behind the scenes at Passions or any other place. But I know if I did own one of those places I would probably have a Dominican partner and follow the law to the letter.
Time will tell exactly what happened I will not exploit someone problems with pure speculation and hearsay as is often done here by some members.

From talking to my people on the scene, nobody was worried about the pimping charge. Once "[CodeWord908]" was brought in everybody said Peter was in deep shit now. Peter is on three of my girls Facebook pages, and they just removed him yesterday. When I saw his picture back then and asked about it, they all said he was a good guy. Now everybody is running from him saying crazy shit but just last year he was perfect.
He even did right by most people here. I just can't throw him under the bus as quickly ad some people have done, I'm sorry.

el ministerio público de puerto plata, pidió 12 meses de prisióand como medida de coercióand, contra dos imputados a quienes se les atribuye ser los cabecillas responsables de proxenetismo en el establecimiento passio's bar, ubicado en municipio de sosúa, provincia puerto plata.
proxenetismo may be translated into english as "pandering" or possibly "pimping". anyway the definition is: ". consiste en obtener beneficios económicos de la prostitucióand de otra persona", so it is pretty obvious what it means.
however, since the prosecution has up to a year, which can no doubt be extended, to build its case, it may not have to produce a detailed list of all the possible charges at the present time.
in the us it is not at all unusual for a prosecution to produce a variety of related charges and to bargain with the defence. often the more severe charges will be dropped in exchange for a plea of guilty to lesser charges to avoid a trial. this is not so much in the uk, although note that the broadcaster stuart hall pled guilty to a number of relatively minor charges of indecent assault of minors (for example kissing a 13-year-old on the mouth) in exchange for dropping a charge of [CodeWord123] against an adult.
to me the worst charges might stem from the mention that women were fined if they refused to go out with certain clients, as this would imply coercion to commit acts of prostitution. no?
below is the link to the puerto plata department of prosecutions web site for anyone who is interested in following further developments.

I hope someone here knows more than me about "work" visas and can answer your question.

Some of my friends and acquaintances in that category would never stay anywhere else but they don't fit the usual profile for Sosua mongers. Also for those like me, who liked to pop into Sosua often to meet fellow mongers, but didn't want to stay overnight there.
FoD's problem is that it never achieves a "critical mass" of satisfied customers to sustain progress with ongoing word-of-mouth recommendations the way Blackbeards does. That is partly, but not entirely, its own fault. Everytime it gets close to that, the ownership or something else changes and they have to roll the rock up the hill again. But it would be a shame if it closed, as there is nowhere else with its specific advantages, so I do my little bit to keep it open. But if they start fucking up again I will be the first to post, as I did about my last disappointing visit there.
Blackbeards doesn't need my praises on the board as I never stay there and there are plenty of posters who do to sing its praises.

If a third party takes a cut from such money it is pimping by any definition and is illegal in every country (that concerns us) in the world. Why they are not being charged with that instead is strange, as they would have no defence whatever. Maybe "people trafficking", as a more serious charge, to impress the US paymasters (and let's not forget that this whole business of the crackdown is orchestrated from the US)."People trafficking" is a horrific crime but one of which Peter and Mariela are not guilty to the best of my knowledge.

The fact that he loves his daughter is sweet, not at all unusual for parents, and absolutely nothing to do with his guilt or otherwise. I imagine it will carry no weight in law, nor should it. I am not suggesting Peter is a monster, or even a bad person, but history is full of monsters (Nazi war criminals for example) who were really devoted to their children.

My friend who once owned a nightclub in Puerto Plata kept an Excel spreadsheet of the income from 1000 peso "salidas" that were paid each time a chica exited the facility with a customer (often 500 pesos of this was immediately returned to a taxi driver). It was very much a "bell curve" with the single most popular chica averaging around one salida daily, a few other hotties getting around one every other day, and more than half the chicas rarely getting any salidas at all. A regular clientele, some of whom asked to be called if a new girl showed up on campus, would often salida each new girl one time, which accounted for a not negligible tranche of the overall business. This initial interest would give the girls high hopes of making some real money, but usually fell off after the first week.
While I have no actual evidence that this pattern translates into the same thing for the bar chicas in Sosua, it seems intuitively likely that it would do so. The majority do not look as if they have high income that allows them to invest in expensive hair stylings and elegant clothing that would attract the more affluent customer. Most wear the same outfit every night. It is also logical that the most desirable chicas will not only get customers more frequently, but are also able to charge higher fees, and spend less time on the hunt. Some of the scams encountered may be attempts by low frequency chicas to maximize income from the few dates that they do manage to score.
