Seven Jamaican women are now behind bars after they were charged for lewd and suggestive dancing in Trinidad recently.
They appeared in the Chaguanas Magistrate earlier this week alongside six other women from Dominican Republic, Peru and Colombia.
According to a report in the Trinidad Express, published on Wednesday, the women fined TT$250 (J$3,300) each and in default of payment will spend one week in prison. They were given one week to pay the fine.
The article further stated that "their attorney Joseph Honore told Third Court Magistrate Avason Quinlan that the women arrived in this country (Trinidad) two months ago and 'linked up' with the Tribe mas camp to learn the art of wire bending with the intention of returning to Jamaica to open their own mas band."
Reports are that the women were arrested Saturday morning during a raid at the Santa Maria Hotel at Chase Village, Chaguanas. It is said that a sergeant and two constables were on enquiries at the hotel, dressed in plain clothes, when the women were seen on stage dancing in a sexual and suggestive manner. They were arrested and taken to the Chaguanas Police Station and charged.
The women's lawyer, Honore, told the court that the women admitted that they were dancing suggestively but denied that they were naked on stage.
