Speaker Christine Quinn wants to get to the bottom of series of allegedly false arrests that she calls "the most egregious I have heard of," where officers are accused of luring gay men at porn shops into trumped up charges of prostitution. For months NYPD has allegedly been using "handsome young undercover cops" to solicit (consensual) sex out of middle-aged gay men and then arresting them for prostitution as they exit the store. At a town hall meeting last month, one man described the scenario where after agreeing to go home with the young man, "He said, 'I want to pay you $50 [to have sex].' I didn't respond, but I thought it was strange." Once accosted by police outside he said, "I thought I'd been set up by a gang...They handcuffed me and said, 'Why the f--- do you think we're arresting you—loitering for the purpose of prostitution.'" Some believe that the city may be using the arrests to shut down sex shops under the "nuisance abatement law," which led the city to sue Unicorn in Chelsea last month.
