Seattle Strip Clubs: US crackdown on sexpresso bikini baristas
US crackdown on sexpresso bikini baristas
Saturday, 6 February 2010
A US clampdown has begun on Seattle coffee shops which hire young women to serve up espressos while wearing as little as a G-string.
Officials are taking a closer look at the “sexpresso” craze after police investigations revealed some of the “bikini baristas” – set up three years ago – were serving coffee with a side of something not even legal at many strip clubs.
Five bikini baristas in Everett, north of Seattle, are accused of charging up to $80 to let customers fondle or photograph them as they put on erotic shows — sometimes in view of passing traffic. They face court dates on prostitution charges this month.
In images so graphic that officials were reluctant to release them under public disclosure requests, undercover officers photographed them spreading their legs while wearing crotchless panties or licking whipped cream off each other’s exposed pubic regions. While such acts may not constitute traditional prostitution, authorities say they met the legal definition of engaging in sexual conduct for a fee.
