Fantasy Babes are reporting that a man called Barry and his associates are currently trying to extort money from agencies and independents in the Dundalk and Drogheda areas. One of the ladies at Fantasy Babes has been threatened and verbally and physically abused by these people and this has been reported to police. Update 18/05/05: Since I posted this report, I have been contacted by another party who pointed out this is not the first incident of trouble in Dundalk and it may be that the area is an especially dangerous place for escorts to work currently. According to a local blog, a lap dancer was attacked in Dundalk in February 2005 (See dundealgan.blogspot.com/2005/02/lapdancer-assaulted.html for details).
