Houston police crashed a Christmas party for high-priced call girls and their customers last week at a Midtown club called Element. Tuesday night, police were back out rounding up the men who allegedly paid for sex at the party. KHOU's Jeff McShan has the sordid story.
The holiday party had been planned for weeks. and was held inside THIS nightclub in Houston's midtown. but shortly after 8pm.., the social event came to an abrupt halt.... .... as more than two dozen police moved in and shut the gathering down. Only our cameras were there.
HPD's Vice Division says those who attended..... heard about the party here. ... on a sight called ASPD.NET. It is a place where members..., (who must first be invited and then verified) can chat about Houston escorts and write reviews. It is also a site where warnings are posted about police activity...., and which escorts can be trusted. but..... HPD infiltraded the site... became members themselves.
At the party, HPD undercover officers tell us they were able to obtain enough evidence to charge 12-people with prostitution.,
As soon as the arrest happened..., members of aspd.net began to chat about the raid. and tonight, moments after we first told you we would have the story on our news at 10..., a member logged on to warn others.
HPD's Vice Division is using the site to gather information..., and since last weeks raid it has been conducting prostitution stings at hotels and motels all over our city. HPD says it has collected names, and will be making additional arrests soon.
