Proving again that it’s legally perilous to work at a Texas gentlemen’s club, police last Thursday arrested 18 employees of a Houston strip joint on a variety of charges, including prostitution and violating the city’s strict regulations governing sexually oriented business. The May 29 raid at St. James Cabaret was carried out by Harris County Sheriff’s Office vice officers following a weeklong undercover operation. On the following pages you’ll find mug shots of 15 of the women caught up in the law enforcement sweep, which was triggered by citizen complaints about operations at the club. This is at least the fourth time in the last 18 months that a Houston strip club has been raided.
