BIG WARNING to all escorts in London

Earlier this week there was an organised brutal armed robbery in a house, where 2 escorts were working (London).
It was organised group of 4 or 5 criminals, very aggressive and violent.
One of them pretend to be a client and when the door is open they forced the door and get in.

They beat the girls and stole everything valuable from the house.

The damage is very big.
The criminals are still on the streets, so be very careful when you invite your clients.


I would like to thank the police officers for understanding and the professional work done this night and the day after.

I was very impressed how organised, fast and professional the police could be.

More bad news, and not new either. I think it is probably time that escorts did not work alone and vet their clients before they arrive, maybe arranging to meet them somewhere before the session -if it is Queensway they could meet in the Starbucks. At some point, if this continues without precautions being taken, someone is going to get killed.

The problem is that I believe legally they need to work alone or from one location. Isn't there a brothel law for more than 2 working from same address?

Yes, though it is applied inconsistently between police authorities in England&Wales and is slightly different in Scotland. Would probably depend on whether there were associated public order issues; it's an easy way to shut the problem down.

However robbery with violence and forced entry are both far more serious and the police should prioritise those. Whether they would is another matter.

the brothel law is confusing ... as when i get raided last year with my ts friend ... the complaint was that fact it was 2 working girls living together offering duo;s...

the short of it was simply we had to remove the adverts, and technically 1 of us had to be out of the place while other was working and have our advert offline ... of which we agreed with the police is hard to do lol

i think that would be a case by case , 2 uk independant girls doing stuff together and that have a good rep with local vice would maybe be ok ..and have a blind eye turned .. but you never know ..

sad news indeed to hear ,, glad i moved out of london .

Yeah reading between the lines of what you're saying there, the police who dealt with it seem to have taken a fairly reasonable line.

Chief Constables in E&W and also in Scotland have huge amounts of discretion how they carry out their job. However, the law is the law and if the police get a complaint that it has been broken, they have to investigate and make a report. (Even if normally they would think it was a waste of valuable time.)

A huge amount of the complaints the police get come from, basically, narky neighbours, and unless serious crime is being committed, they tend to deal with them on the spot with 'a quiet word'. Most police officers see keeping the peace as a big part of their job, rather than the literal and strict application of the letter of the law. (For the yanks, prostitution is legal everywhere in the UK, though solicitation and 'running a house of ill repute' are both illegal.) The fact is that there just is not enough resources, money or court time to take the minor stuff any further.

But two girls together in an apartment clearly isn't much of a defence - since there were two girls in this case who got attacked. The solution Stavros makes is a sensible one - a meeting someplace on neutral ground. But they'd have to vary the place. The same girl meeting clients day after day, several times a day in one location would soon arouse unwelcome attention.

I heard of another case recently where a GG escort sustained a serious eye injury when robbers forced their way into her apartment.

Some strategy is clearly necessary to stop this.

Ick. Hoping the bastards are caught soon, and, yeah, probably time to get that anti-brothel law off the books too. I'm not sure how much help that'd provide but it'd be a start.
