The New York Post reports that the DEA worked in conjunction with the NYPD and Westchester County Police Department to arrest the four dancers —Roselyn Keo, Marsi Rosen, Karina Pascucci, and Samantha Barbash—and Roadhouse NYC Gentleman’s Club manager, Carmine Vitolo, last night. The dancers also face charges of grand larceny, forgery and assault, while Vitolo was charged with grand theft and tampering with evidence.
The Post described how the dancers would set their victims up:
According to authorities, the strippers usually trolled for their victims at tiny Manhattan bars and restaurants over a four-month period beginning in September 2013.
In some cases, the suspects would take suggestive photos of the victims with both women and men, which they used for the purpose of blackmail.
All fiveconspiracy charges. The dancers also face charges of grand larceny, forgery and assault, while Vitolo was charged with grand theft and tampering with evidence.
