Se cansa uno de esta gente que no sabe ni llevar una relaci?n normal, menos decente.

don't be so judgmental, passing your pelvic popsicle to be sucked by a ho is not the height of evil.

"Even "Wally" sent his men..."
Ja y Columbo is lacing up his track shoes as we speak..

 

[bronzeallspice]

Maybe they are on DR1.

LOL! In time we'll find out who's MIA.:classic:

 

[CristoRey]

You mean La fiscal?a? That means District Attorney Office

Indeed you are correct. My sloppy Spanish translation while working, typing, reading and drinking all in the same go. I wonder... how they were caught?

it sort of looks like a raid on a brothel with all present (clients and staff) being booked for alleged pimping.

With perhaps even "the johns" being arrested?

So, it is illegal to be with a prostitute now in the Dominican Republic? Is this a new law or has it always been in the books?

 

[frank recktenwald]

DR1 may be encouraging this kinda activity by running such posts as: "Prostitutes are Cheaper Than Wives"....lol

And more so in the DR

prostitution in itself is not illegal. what is illegal is pimping. but the definition of a pimp is a wide one:

1ro. Que de cualquier manera ayuda, asista o encubra personas, hombres o mujeres con miras a la prostituci?n o al reclutamiento de personas con miras a la explotaci?n sexual;
2do. El o la que del ejercicio de esa pr?ctica reciba beneficios de la prostituci?n;
3ro. El que relacionado con la prostituci?n no pueda Justificar los recursos correspondientes a su tren de vida;
4to. El o la que consienta a la prostituci?n de su pareja y obtenga beneficios de ello;
5to. Que contrata, entrena o mantiene, a?n con su consentimiento, una persona, hombre o mujer, a?n mayor de edad, con miras a la prostituci?n, la entrega a la prostituci?n, o al desenfreno y relajaci?n de las costumbres;
6to. Que hace oficio de intermediario, a cualquier t?tulo, entre las personas (hombres o mujeres) que se dedican a la prostituci?n o al relajamiento de las costumbres o los individuos que explotan o remuneran la prostituci?n y el relajamiento de las costumbres de otro;
7mo. Que por amenazas, presi?n o maniobras, o por cualquier medio, perturba la acci?n de prevenci?n, asistencia o reeducaci?n emprendida por los organismos calificados en favor de las personas (hombres o mujeres) que se dedican a la prostituci?n o est? en riesgo de prostituci?n.

look at point 5.

Yes. It still does not say why a "John" would be arrested.

It makes one wonder how places like this get raided while Blackbeards and Field of Dreams still are in business.

(understanding the mention of minors in concerning)

What is el Choco?

It's a high end area behind Casa Linda. If you take the turn from the main road and to go towards Casa Linda just keep driving and you will see big fancy houses further down past Casa Linda.

El Choco is the name of the area, Haciendas El Choco is the development. Did the article say it was in Haciendas El Choco?

 

[curlando]

All arrested will pay some kind of really big fine before being released.
