The massive prostitution business is still there, it just went underground. Everyone who lives there knows that. Everybody also know that it is not just the prostitution but the minors serving as sex workers that is thriving there. The rich men from abroad come to Sosúa and pay big money to the local dealers that bring them virgin, teenage girls, basically children from poor families living around for sex. It is known to local people and all talk about this. They also know that local city authorities are involved in that business for years and get a heavy profit from it. The police presence on the streets is not enough. There should be an undercover secret service police working seriously.
