LAKE WORTH, FL--Twenty-two people were arrested during a prostitution sting called "Operation Cheap Trick," according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
The sting was a response to numerous complaints from the community about prostitution activity in Lake Worth, according to Teri Barbera, PBSO spokesperson. "This operation is designed to deter individuals from patronizing local prostitutes conducting activities in District 14 and Palm Beach County."
Undercover deputies arrested four prostitutes. Three of the four prostitutes were charged with Felony Prostitution due to their prior prostitution convictions, according to PBSO.
Customers were also targeted in the sting. Eighteen men were arrested on prostitution charges after they solicited undercover deputies posing as street-level prostitutes and were booked in the Palm Beach County Jail, according to PBSO.

last commentTwo of the top ten tuscl clubs are in these cities.. Miami has Tootsie's and Palm Beach has Lido Cabaret. Maybe more of the prostitution will move into the SCs there meaning more extras?
Personally I sometimes go to SCs because arranging to meet with strangers is too risky.

Lake Worth was the home of the notorious Club Peek a Boo, which was closed and Club Mirage opened next door. Lido is in Cocoa, some 100 miles up the coast, and Tootsie's is in Miami, 60 miles south. Lake Worth is the next town south of W. Palm Beach, home of Cheetah, Flashdance, T's, Spearmint Rhino, Rachel's, etc. All the PB County clubs have close to GFE, except Rachel's.

The whole felony for prostitution thing is purposeful. The more of a criminal they make you, the more money they can make off you. Everything from stealing your car to hoisting money from the tax payers to imprison one. The government is turning into a bit of a racket.

deogol: "A bit"? Many of the our so-called elected officials could be prosecuted under the RICO act, if they hadn't written themselves immunity from it.

To add to the list of people recently busted for prostitution:
R&B singer D'Angelo
March 07, 2010. MediaTakeOut.com learned that on Friday night, R&B singer D'Angelo was arrested for trying to solicit a prostitute.
Police set up a sting operation with a police woman posing as a prostitute, and D'Angelo went for the bait. According to police, D'Angelo offered the officer $40 for sex.
But here's where the story gets INTERESTING!!! D'Angelo tried to pick up the woman in the WEST VILLAGE - a neighborhood in New York known for having TRANNEY PROSTITUTES. In fact, the West Village is so WELL KNOWN for it's tranney's (especially Black ones) that gay men from AROUND THE WORLD come there to get it in.
Now the question, was D'Angelo looking for a dude?????
