It's being reported that the NYPD is cracking down on some porn shops...and it's not in the way you'd think. In certain areas, they want to shut the shops down, but can't unless they find a good reason. Porn is legal to sell in certain places in the city. When they can't find a reason, it's being reported that the NYPD is making them up. Not little 'white lies' either. They are arresting gay men for NO REASON!
Here is reportedly how it goes down-
Middle-aged man walks into porn shop. Middle-aged man is approached by good looking younger man. They talk. The young man flirts and the two then agree to 'get busy' and leave. Just as they are about to leave the shop...the younger man says "oh, I'll pay you for the sex". This confuses the middle aged man and when they step outside, plain-clothes NYPD are waiting to arrest the middle aged man for solicitation! Can you believe it? Not only is it entrapment...but it's an out right lie. They are taking advantage of middle aged men by using a much younger attractive man. Most of the men are well into their 40's and the young man is in his 20's. Now I've seen some street walkers and let me tell you...most are not over 30.
Most of the men arrested are so shocked and embarrased, they don't fight the charge and go for a quick trial. These false arrests are giving the NYPD ammunition to say that these porn shops are full of prostitutes. What a bunch of sneeky, slimy police. The big kicker is that some of the arrests go on in the gay parts of the city like Chelsea.
There are some that are trying to shed light on this issue and it seems to be working. So those of you visiting or living in NYC...be careful. Those of you that want to help...contact the NYC Gay Rights Group.
