NYC strippers accused of drugging patrons, running up credit cards

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Authorities say a crew of New York City strippers scammed wealthy men by drugging them and running up extravagant bills at topless clubs while they were in a daze.

The four strippers arrested in the case are accused of slipping ketamine, cocaine, tranquilizers and Molly into the patrons' drinks before taking them around strip clubs in Manhattan and Queens, where they ran up their credit cards for more than $200,000.

A strip club manager was also taken into custody, as police allege the clubs paid the women as part the scam. The businesses aren't facing criminal charges, though.

The roundup followed an undercover investigation that found that the women joined in a scheme to rip off the men by drugging after arranging to meet them at upscale bars in New York and Long Island, authorities said. The impaired victims were driven to Scores in Manhattan and the RoadHouse in Flushing, Queens, where they were charged for private rooms, expensive meals, drinks and other services, they said.

That is far from an unique occurence in the "sex worker" field. I understand that it's particularly popular with professional athletes...
