"I have prosecuted so many strippers that I cannot attend a bachelor party anymore."

Please provide the most complete list of the crimes that "strippers" routinely find themselves in court for (NOT what they plea down to, but the original charges). I am especially interested in extortion, blackmail, and other crimes of dishonesty in addition to prostitution, drugs, conspiracy, etc.

Tks in advance to either or both of you.....

Please provide the most complete list of the crimes that "strippers" routinely find themselves in court for"

My top 10

1. Possession of Ecstasy

2. Possession of Crack cocaine

3. Possession of Powder Cocaine

4. Possession of Crystal Meth

5. Trafficking of any of the above

6. Assault and Battery of a High and Aggravated Nature (usually involving another stripper and a mutual boyfriend and either a knife or a can of mace)

7. Breach of Trust (usually employee theft involving a day job at some sort of clothing store or taking a roommate's clothes when she moves out (and, yes, the roommate is always another stripper))

8. Prostitution (not that it is all that uncommon, just that it is hard to catch them)

9. Indecent exposure or public nudity (it is hard to get that all-over tan if you wear a top on your bikini)

10. Child Neglect (strippers never seem to hire reliable babysitters)

That list is only slightly toungue-in-cheek. In all seriousness, the drugs are the primary source of arrests. All those strippers are stoned when they perform - it is hard to do the things that get good tips when they are sober. They also get in fights a lot and fight over and/or steal clothes a lot. It is an odd lifestyle, and one that is often correlated with substance abuse.
