A dancer at a Midtown strip club has alleged that she was raped Thursday night by a patron, police sources said. The unidentified 22-year-old woman who works at Vivid Cabaret on West 37th Street near 6th Avenue told cops that while she was giving a private lap dance to a client around 8 p.m., the man’s friend entered the room, sources said. The client’s friend then allegedly raped the woman, sources said. The victim’s manager called 911 and the woman was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where a rape kit was administered, sources said. Cops are investigating and no arrests have been made.

    Rape is no laughing matter, but usually it's the other way around when it comes to NYC clubs and the customer (along with his line of credit) is supposed to be the one getting raped.

    Don't they have cameras in those NY clubs like they do in a casino?

    If you pay $1000 for 15 minutes, there better be no camera. (new hustle, tell the guy he needs to pay $50 to "turn off the camera" in the VIP room if he wants touching). At a crazy expensive unnamed new york caberet SC, maybe it is Vivid, maybe it is one of its competitors, it wasnt my CC that night. When I used the private room, there was no camera I could tell. The dancer who just transferred from another SC (I saw her 2 days earlier at another SC in new york) said she doesn't know if the room has cameras. Touching was allowed after that. At $1K per 30 minutes, some TUSCL reviews of new york SCs say they got extras. A couple months later, another review of same SC says air dance ROB. IDK what to think. In my TUSCL review of Vivid New York, I rated it as never come back. >The unidentified 22-year-old woman who works at Vivid Cabaret on West 37th Street near 6th Avenue told cops that while she was giving a private lap dance to a client around 8 p.m., the man’s friend entered the room, sources said. >The client’s friend then allegedly raped the woman, sources said. The dancer wanted 2x the money for 2 guys in the VIP room, so she changed the consensual extra to rape. Or the BJ on 1 guy turned into a gangbang with 2 without more $. It takes 1 second for a dancer to run out of the private room into a hallway, and you are always within scream distance of a bouncer from the private room. Unless a gun or knife was used (and Vivid doesn't search you like a hood SC), this is a $ dispute, not a rape. >Cops are investigating and no arrests have been made. If it was a real rape, the dancer would tell security to detain the 2 guys and turn them over to police. What will happen in this case is, John #1 and John #2's lawyers will negotiate a "private settlement" with the victim and she will retract her claims and the DA has no case. Unlike TV the DA won't waste time trying her for perjury or obstruction.

    You're making a lot of assumptions. None of us were there so no one really knows what happened. She could be lying or she could be telling the truth. Maybe they held her down and had a weapon? Maybe they put their hand on her mouth so she couldn't scream. If it did happen, the reason why she didn't tell the bouncer to detain them? Easy, people don't always think straight after experiencing a life and death situation, a lot of them go into a sort of shock after coming down from the adrenaline. I'm not saying it did or didn't happen. I'm saying let's remain neutral before making assumptions and taking sides until we have all the facts.

    probably a lie and she was probably on xanny or something. If it is true, well I feel sorry for her and hope justice is served. What club was it?

    I find it hard to believe. Possible, but hard to believe.

    Note to Juice: "cabaret" is French for Show Club

    I never worked at that place but as a sisters club of Ricks, Vivid is strict on enforcing no-extras policy so I guess they either have cameras or hosts come check on dancers in private rooms. Or both. But host can be bribed/security watching VIP might have gotten distracted with something else. I don't know. And yes, you can run out of a room but not if two males are holding you. Music is so loud in many clubs and bouncers are not always close. Not to mention that she might have been paralyzed by fear.

    Or she got caught giving extras and cried rape to cover her own ass.
