Go-Go Bar Owner, Dancers, Bartending Wife Busted In Paterson Prostitution Raid
Undercover vice squad detectives who raided a Paterson go-go bar found a dancer giving a patron oral sex in a lap dance booth, authorities said.
They arrested the owner, 62-year-old Thomas P. Humphrey of Riverdale, and his wife, Luciana, 45, along with four dancers, two bartenders and a security guard in the raid at Baby Dolls on Market Street, Police Director Jerry Speziale said Wednesday.
They also captured a fugitive wanted out of New York City and seized $6,679 in cash from the thriving business, Speziale said.
“Various complaints” about prostitution and drug dealing brought police to the Baby Dolls, where dancers propositioned patrons, then kicked back a portion of the proceeds to a manager or bartender, the director said.
Undercover detectives who entered the establishment immediately were propositioned by several dancers to pay for sex, he said.
Humphrey had $1,765 in illegal proceeds seized from him, while his wife, bartender Luciana Humphrey, 45, had $3,210 seized from her, Speziale said.
Both were charged with maintaining a house of prostitution, the director said.
So were security guard Thomas Baldwin, 38, of Hackensack, and bartender Luz Pastrana, 61, of Belleville, he said.
Arrested on prostitution charges were three dancers from the Bronx:
Ruth Hernandez, 19, who had $1,064 seized;
Rafelina Perez, 34, who had $389 taken;
Emma Diaz, who had $191 seized.
A fourth dancer charged with prostitution, Argentina Diaz-Devicioso, 49, of Utica, NY, had $60 taken, Speziale said.
All were released pending court hearings.
The fugitive from justice was identified as Lamont Moody, 42, who lives in the Alphabet City section of Manhattan. He was taken to the Passaic County Jail pending possible extradition proceedings.

I'm sure she'll be out soon and back at it again. Where else can a 19 year old make $1000 per night? She'll just be more cautious about feeling the customer out first before she offers her services.
Didn't see any mention of a drug deal having gone down in this super-important raid obviously needed to stop consenting adults from giving and receiving head.
I still don't see how that can be a clean prostitution bust.

the clubs in more industrial areas are being left alone. At least for now
Probably they are all just Neo-Liberals.
Our San Jose Mayor, Sam Liccardo, supposedly a Democrat ,he is really a Neo-Liberal. He rails against street prostitution and is totally opposed to strip clubs and AMPs.

Does sound that way - certain interests being at play and clubs being seen as "being in the way" of those interests
serious fireworks to get that SR open in San Jose, formerly San Jose Gold Club, much opposition to it.
People said on Neighborhoods groups that it would cause street prostition, like these SG's would be the back up to satisfy the desires aroused inside of the strip club.
They want to outlaw sexual desire. These people are really reactionary, no matter which political party they go with.
That SR is in the central downtown commerical district. But people in residences 10 blocks away were vocal in opposing it, as was Sam Liccardo.

I stay out of the downtown part of Paterson, mostly because I can get what I want in the industrial areas.
I doubt that Paterson will gentrify. But that won’t stop them from dumping hundreds of millions in the filthy downtown.
Cities after cities ignoring real crimes.
On the neighborhoods groups they post pictures they have taken of street hookers. And these are women who are already just barely marginal. But people keep on it until the cops just bust them without evidence.
SJG
and they ALL have a vested interest in restricting laws.
control and bribery.
Go figure.
