POLITUR APRESA MUJERES EN EL MUNICIPIO DE SOSUA
Publicado el : September 09, 2011 |

Unas 40 mujeres fueron apresadas en el municipio turístico Sosua, durante operativos llevado a cabo por oficiales de la Policía Turística (Politur).

La información la ofreció el capitán Jhonny Alberto Liranzo Bocio, quien dijo que las mujeres apresadas se dedicaban a molestar a los turistas que visitan esa zona turística.

El encargado de Politur en Sosua, señaló que los operativos continuaran para evitar que los turistas sigan siendo molestados y victimas de robos por parte de mujeres que se dedican a ejercer la prostitucion en ese lugar.


I thought that all politur were going to cease and desist their harassment of chicas in town???????????????????????????????

Interesting.......I will be anxious to see how many of what I call the "hardcore" chicas I'll see in the Merengue Bar on my first night back. The hardcore ones, are girls who I have seen in Merengue, night after night, after night.......month after month, year after year........they're the ones who start at one end of the bar and propostion every guy sitting there, working their way to the other end, until they get an offer........

I would suspect the majority will still be there, without mentioning specific names....(these are the girls I stay FAR away from)

My assumption would be that, at the present, the cops are harassing and arresting the new girls that come into town, because they probably can be easier to intimidate and extort money and sexual favors from.....but that is just my own speculation.....

I talked to a good looking girl from Santiago that told me she got arrested in front of Clasicos about a week ago.

[No Worries]

They were locking them up last week. In fact, I saw the police stop two couples and take the girls away from the men and walk them to the police station. (So there goes the idea that they are safe if they are walking with a tourist).

[questner]

Unless girls have money and after a quota is filled arresting girls is pointless. Moreover, if there are no girls on the strip there is no money to extort, less money for businesses payouts etc.
In my August several weeks saw only one girl walked away to the station.
My guess is it's a new broom again.

[Gutter Meat]

I've been here 3 nights and the girls can pretty much walk back and forth with no problems. So far I only saw 2 girls together get stopped last night in front of Bar Central. One girl showed her ID and she was allowed to go on her way. The other girl didn't have ID and she pretty much did a fast 180 toward Latinos and was not pursued.

Some recent experiences: 1.Poli-Pussy fighting and wresting a chica to the street. 2. Poli-Pussies arresting 3 chicas on P.C. 3. Poli-Pussy fighting a 9 year old child on the way to jail. 4.Poli-Pussy ''beach sweep'' for Haitianas. 5. AMRATS accosting a German National over a moto-concho parking violation. Their huge billy clubs were ready to kill him!

[Gutter Meat]

Well last night there were only about half the chicas out on the strip I would attribute it to the rain and being a Sunday. Left New Garden and turned the corner by fat Herman's and the new National police commander was their smoking a cigar. He was there must of the night and didn't bother any chicas. The tourist police were located between Latinos and Meringue bar and I seen them arrest at least 3 chicas.

Anybody that was delusional about Sosúa returning to the good old days should read the above.

Prolly, at best, Sosúa will be only as good as it is now. At, worst, most of the chicas going there now will be scared off - leaving only the hardest of the hardcore..........and even those might be scared off after the 'dream team 92' makes their run through Sosúa.

I agree with you that some of the girls in Merengue club have been there for years.
But, I wouldn't say they are all hardcore. I know quite a few of them and most them are decent girls just trying to make a living.

I would say the more hardcore ones are upstairs in Classicos - aggressive, pick-pockets etc.

And BTW, what is with the blue text? It is really irritating on the eyes.

Muy lo siento.........I thought it would be an appropriate color given the somewhat depressing situation in Sosua......

[jose1234]

Great reports, I can second the recent reports on the ground.

[Sidney]

And of course the ''vermin'' are free = drug dealers, chulo's, pickpockets, hard core ho's, street hustlers, etc.

They are going to de-puta Pedro Clisante. It is what it is.

[elmudo]

That just fucking sucks..so at this point next year no more chicas on PC? I guess I better start making a trip every month instead of every year before this becomes a sweet distant memory

[steviewonder]

Actually if u think about it, they're messing with the only welfare system in place for the DR

[el toro]

Since last December there's been a roller coaster of negativity followed by hype then more negativity. Thankfully when I went in March I had reason to believe the positive hype rather than the scarcity negative thinking. While PC wasn't flooded with chicas during the day, there were enough and more than enough on any given night. I believe from 9/14-9/21 there will be plenty for us. Peace and hair grease.

True, but Sosúa is just a small fabric of the prostitution infrastructure of the DR.

Casas, brothels, etc are throughout the country. And of course there are the part-time chicas (eg. university students) who hook for extra cash. The majority of men served by prostys in the DR are Dominican men living in the DR.

Ending open air prostitution in Sosúa prolly won't make much of a dent in the revenue generated by prostitution in the country as a whole. So that welfare system will still be intact.

And most of the prostys who work in the Su come from somewhere else on the island (Santo Domingo, Santiago, Barahona etc.) If they can't work in the Su than they will go hook somewhere else - I mean, what else are they gonna do.

I remember talking to a Dominican friend who lives in Puerto Plata. I commented to him "There are a lot of putas in POP, right" and he replied "En todo del pais".

My comment was in general for the DR, not exclusive to Sosua. Apart from a certain area in Bavaro, Sousa is probably #2 with what chicas average from most visitors. What they get from locals is another matter which is in most cases couldn't buy a 300gr bag of leche for the baby

Same story as I posted above, but translated with added embellishments:
http://www.sosuanews.com/index.php

Friday night, September 9th, the Tourist Police (Politur) raided the bars of the Pedro Clisante street again. The police arrested more than 40 women and brought them to the police station were they had to spend the night in a filthy cell. The commander of the police Johnny Alberto Liranzo Bocio, justified the action by saying that the ladies harassed tourists. Also, there were thought to be pickpockets, among the women, who had recently robbed some tourists. Through this action it seems that the policy of being a bit more tolerant in the past few weeks has been broken again. Since a committee of the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Health (Salud Público) had visited Sosúa, the policy of the police had been more cautious.

But with this wave of arrests last Friday, it seems that the repressive policies have returned.

Politur arrested 40 women

[FritoBandito]

Next step, reinstalling the privacy wall again at Latinos......hahahahah........

How Dominican officials operate: take one step forward, then three steps back......

......surprise!!!!!! No progress made at all.........duh...............
