Columbia Police Raid, Shutdown Platinum Plus Strip Club

Columbia, SC. April 1, 2010. Columbia police raided and shut down the Platinum Plus Gentlemen's Club shortly after midnight today. Police made numerous prostitution related arrests. Police Chief Tandy Carter said the raid was the culmination of a 2 year undercover investigation. “Our dedicated undercover officers spent literally hundreds of hours in the club. Some of the boys even got the girls down to $25 for 2 dances.” “I preferred the day girls,” said one undercover officer, “the night girls could be kinda bitchy.” Police sources said they were first tipped to the illicit activity at the club by “reading between the lines” of club reviews on a popular online strip club review site. “Once we figured out what HJ, BBBJ, FS and ITC meant, we knew something was going on there.” Police reported that in addition to the dancers, a number of customers were also taken into custody and charged. However, one particularly notorious customer, known only as “The Candy Man,” reportedly remains at large.

Mug shots were not available at press time.

I can honestly say I have not seen any of that in my last few visits and my last few visits go back at least a couple of years. Now I can say I have gotten two for $25 lap dances. That's certainly no crime. ITC? What in the world is that? My definition of OTC or outside the club is simply anything that you do with a dancer away from the club. In my definition it does not mean you had sex with her. It's more like one of your friends and whatever happens with your friends is up to you and your friends. Unless some guys are treating encounters with dancers away from clubs as a pay for play experience. That is not treating people like friends in my definition. A friend can be just a friend or more like a girlfriend. I once used to hang out with one dancer after she got off from work and I don't believe I ever had sex with her. I didn't pay her any money either. We did at one time or another get into some sexual situations. She even quit stripping for a while.

Good joke! I was wondering if this was the second raid in a few days since the club didn't seem too active when I visited recently. I encountered a very hands off no touch at all dancer too. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more than one but I asked more questions to one dancer since she was persistent with me.
