Glutton For Punishment

There might be a kind of trend going around regarding women in the adult entertainment business- those dance artists and masseusses who are availiable at the dial of a telephone number and for a fee will travel to your home and put on a private show, for various amounts of money. Some of these women are well aware of the risks, I’m sure, and in order to assuage their fears they are advisd in a great many cases to keep their cell phones in reaching distance, or some kind of signalling device whereby they can signal their driver bodyguards in the event of a problem.

Everybody is of course aware of recent events at Duke University, where the members of the LaCrosse team there have recently been charged with the rape of a female dancer and stripper, a case which in addition to the rape charge has racial overtones as well. A lesser known case, an all but unknown one, in fact, occurred just recently in Northern Kentucky.

There, a Mr. Streichling of Erlanger was the sole assailallant of one girl who came to his house, whereupon he proceeded to accost her. Luckily, she had her cell phone handy, and let it be known to her waiting driver that he had broken the rules of the contract. She could touch him if she wished, but he must never lay a hand on her.

She got away from him, though it seems that he did rape her, and made it to the car of her bodyguard, wherupon Streichling pursued them both by vehicle. He was later arressted, and according to his own mother, this was not the first incident. A year before two different victims made a similar complaint, but the charges were dismissed when they decided to drop the charges.

Evidently, as of last account two more charges in addition to the latest have been filed, though it is unclear whether this is the peviously stated victims. One thing is for certain, this is obviously a dangerous profession, and may in some cases be as dangerous for the client as it is for the performer.

A good rule of thumb would seem to be, if you are going to be involved in it from either angle, keep friends close by.
