PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A Providence strip club has been closed for 20 days following a prostitution investigation resulted in the arrests of two women.
WPRI-TV reports (bit.ly ) the Providence Board of Licenses voted Wednesday to suspend the Satin Doll's license for 20 days. The establishment was also ordered to pay a $4,000 fine.
Providence Police say two dancers offered to perform sexual acts for undercover detectives. The business has denied the accusations.
Providence Mayor Angel Taveras has proposed a ‘‘one-strike'' law that would close any club that employs underage dancers or where dancers are caught soliciting customers.
In October the licensing board fined Cheaters Gentlemen's Club $5,000 and suspended its license for 45 days after authorities say it illegally hired a 14-year-old girl and allowed prostitution.
Why did popo make the arrests? Were the ladies charging too much?
