Several strippers in New York City have been accused of spiking the drinks of wealthy men and subsequently scamming them for tens of thousands of dollars. The Drug Enforcement Administration collaborated with New York Police Department investigators to arrest the four women on charges of ‘grand larceny, assault and forgery.’
A manager at RoadHouse Gentlemen’s Club in Flushing was also taken into custody. The charges result from an undercover investigation that found the females were all allegedly part of a scheme to rip off rich men.
The strippers arranged to meet the males at upscale bars and drugged them with ‘molly’ or ketamine. Once impaired, the suspects drove the dazed men to strip clubs where they were charged for meals, drinks, services and private rooms. The males would later wake up in their cars or in hotel beds with a vague or no memory of what happened.
The victims then realized they had racked up serious debts on their credit cards. If they tried to dispute the charges, the strippers would threaten to go public the men’s ‘transgressions’.
New York City Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget G. Brennan said “This repugnant scheme involved not only the theft of $200,000, but compromised the health, safety and security of victims by covertly giving them harmful substances.”
