Santo Domingo.- Six Dominican women who worked in cabarets in the island nation  Cyprus have filed charges against their employers so far this year, after revealing that aside from “dancing and serving drinks” they were forced to have sex with the customers.

The women, between 21 and 36 years of age have cases pending in Cyprus and have been called to testify on their experiences, that country’s news sources report.

The women said a woman named “Maritza” recruited them in their country on promises of working as waitresses in night clubs, but once in Cyprus were told they wouldn’t get paid unless they also had sex with the customers

The women’s alleged pimps also face charges in other countries, which may uncover a people trafficking network.

Testimonies

In February newspaper Cyprus Mail reported that a 21 year old Dominican testified   that she was forced into sexual encounters with several men in the night club where she worked as a dancer. It added that the woman traveled to Cyprus to work “serving drinks and dancing” and once there was told that her services included having sexual relations with the customers.

If she didn’t do so, the woman said in Court, she wouldn’t get paid.

Like they did't know to start with. Give me a break.

Prostitution may not have been invented here, but local women sure work hard at improving it.

Some gentlemen club women get paid more than many professionals in DR, they also work less hours. These people can complain but I bet that a replacement could be found right away.

The only people believing they serve, dance but don't shag are their mothers.

these have got to be some really naive girls. they probably cannot spell "cat", but believe that they were being recruited to work on some top secret missile delivery guidance systems. give us a break. you all know what you went there for. maybe some bad stuff went down, but stop acting surprised because management wanted you to burnish some knobs.

typical Dominican responses from a country of men who are typical dummies and low lives. These expolited and abused women are doing the right thing, they deserve their day in court. its about time a group women have been brave enough to bring this matter to the surface.

To all poster above:

You know if you wish to have the "best of" no matter where you may be located on the planet: For cameras you buy Nikon, for autos you buy Mercedes, for wristwatches you buy Rolex/Patek Philipe, and for Prostitues you buy Dominicanas !

xwill, Brasilenosisback is just posting to get attention...trust me. he is playing devil's advocate, throwing anything up against the wall, to see what sticks. to call these women exploited, or abused, might be accurate. however, it is not as if they have clean hands, either. Brasilenos, go read up on the CLEAN HANDS DOCTRINE.. or get a friend to read it for you.

I find it interesting to see that you guys have all missed the point here. I agree that most women go to other countries knowing what they are going to do once they get there. Having said that they do get abused and many dont ever make it back home.

Most are forced to leave the country looking for a better life.

The dominican women to their own demise are very good at what they do and very inexpensive compare to women from other countries. making them very attractive to the human trade.

Yes Sir I approved this message- Uptown gentlemen usually goes for the Nathasha's and Slevlana's while those from the proletariat go for the Chicas from DR. In Haiti they find husband's from the Diaspora - I have heard the vertue of these women as wives once you take them out of the brothels and make an honest woman out of them for they never wish to go back to working on their back and appreciate a good man.A good friend of mine dad is a lawyer who specialize in processing the paperwork for these fellas to take their new wives back to the States.

It's relatively easy to take the girl from the street. Not so easy to take the street out of the girl.

walter,
The ones from sosua??/ lol

To all friendly posters above: we all know the ones in Sosua are from La Romana , the ones in Bavaro are from Guachupita, the ones in Las Terrenas are from ...Port-au-Prince.

So the ones in Cyprus, Athens, Uzbekistan, Rome, London, the lesser Antilles, Bariloche, Paris, Madrid are from this part of the island without distinction of city or Province.

In all cases, the mothers don't know they shag, even though they did the same before them and didn't shag either.

And the Gringo boyfriend lives in blind bliss until an unshagging friendly waitress/dancer shags him; then he comes to think "well mine might do that too" and then he gets a hunch and finds out the painful truth.

That happens to the Canadian in Sosua or the Swede on vacation on a Greek island, say, Cyprus.
