PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Police in Massachusetts have arrested two men they say ran a prostitution ring out of an apartment at a senior living facility.

Pittsfield police say 65-year-old Joseph Van Wert and 45-year-old Randy Lambach have been held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Nov. 29.

Authorities say Lambach recruited drug addicts from Pittsfield, took photos of them, and posted ads on adult websites. Police say he scheduled and drove them to and from meetings with men, kept most of the proceeds, and paid the women in drugs.

Police say Van Wert used his apartment at a senior living facility as a place to conduct the prostitution.

Lambach allegedly threatened to turn the women in if they stopped working for him.

It could not immediately be determined if they have lawyers.

Here’s a headline I didn’t expect to read today.

That explains why grandpa had a little extra giddy up in his step lately.

I knew the story would be more sinister than the headline would lead one to believe. Supposed senior living facilities have become a catch-all for welfare recipients in all shapes and sizes. In many cases they become the worst possible places for the elderly to live. One more grotesque failure from government

Were they at the Senior Living Center to be close to customers, was that where the, errrr, workers were based?

One of the commentators on the site mentioned, “world’s oldest profession”.

Adult retirement communities have a super high rate of STD transmission. Not the managed care, but those 55 and older ones.

If this were done above board, using healthy, of age women who are legal citizens, I think it would be a good thing.
This would be one of the customer services offered. Take it if you want to. No pressure.
I suspect such an arrangement would reduce the need for many medications. Less arthritis, less arrhythmia, less chronic depression and loneliness for others.

The Doctor would have to be confident enough to believe the patient understands what they’re agreeing to and want this kind of contact. There may be some agreement not to tell the adult children and visiting grandkids exactly what “modalities” are being employed for reasons of health and quality of life.

OK, misleading!

As I read it, the old guy who lived at the Senior Living Facility had Ho drug addicts from ELSEWHERE and drove them to the John’s place.

Nothing implying the ho’s were living at the Senior Living Facility—just the pimp.
