Male hookers target Portmore hip strip

The Port Henderson hip strip more popularly known as, Back Road, in Portmore, St Catherine, is said to be becoming a strange place, as the world's oldest profession is now moving in a dangerous direction, with some men depriving the women of their business.

"Yes de bwoy dem nah give us a chance to make any money, as the vehicle pull up if you don't mind dem push yu down to approach the man wid them business," one prostitute told THE WEEKEND STAR as she protested the new practice.

Other prostitutes were likewise upset and concerned about the new male hookers, and say they have noticed that the amount of men doing it has increased.

"Sometimes them even try to intimidate you, when you make a sale and even a tell us the business is for all," revealed another prostitute.

THE WEEKEND STAR learnt that although most men will visit the stretch of road for entertainment, there are a few who have been daring enough to take up the 'male sellers' on their offers.

"A pure hype vehicle dem go inna, dem need fi stop as God nah sleep," another of the disgruntled female reasoned.

The St Catherine South police said there was no official report on the matter. They however promised to look into it.

"We have not received any official reports on the matter. If it is happening it's a criminal offence and we would have to investigate the matter," Deputy Superintendent Clive Blair, operations officer for St Catherine South, told THE WEEKEND STAR.
