16 Strippers Arrested at North Jakarta Hotel
Police have arrested 16 striptease dancers at a hotel in North Jakarta and charged them with “committing a pornographic act.”
Adj. Sr. Comr. Herry Heryawan, the head of the Jakarta Police’s mobile unit, said the women were arrested at the Golden Hands Hotel and Spa on Wednesday night, along with their suspected handlers, several hotel employees and three massage therapists.
In all, police have named 21 people as suspects in the case, all of whom could face up to six years in prison.
Sources said the hotel regularly provided a strip show in which clients would lounge in the hotel’s second-floor pool and watch the women strip. Those who had paid a Rp 1.5 million ($167) booking fee up front would then get a lap dance in the pool.
