NYC- FLOOR MANAGERS AT SCORES helped broker prostitution deals at the famed strip club, giving undercover cops their blessing to pay for sex in secret back rooms, authorities charge.
“That’s cool,” the managers told police, according to court records obtained yesterday. “As long as you have an agreement with the girl, that’s okay.”
The managers, Gustavo Kiste, 29, and Eli Iskolsky, 36, left little room for misinterpretation, authorities said.
“That’s what the rooms are for,” they allegedly told cops.
Four strippers also were arrested late Wednesday after vice cops say the dancers agreed to perform various sex acts inside the W. 28th St. club for prices ranging from $200 to $700.
State officials said the alleged prostitution could cost Scores its liquor license and expose its owners to fines. An unrelated violation accusing the club of serving alcohol after hours was already pending, officials said.
“We’re investigating the charges,” said Bill Crowley, a spokesman for the State Liquor Authority. “If true, the prostitution accusations would be in violation of their liquor license.”
Police said Scores wasn’t a chronic problem, but added that a nuisance abatement case could be initiated against the club if the alleged crimes continue.
One of the strippers, Nicole Green, 23, of Manhattan, allegedly agreed to have sex with a vice cop for $700. Marianna Nasyarova, 19, of Brooklyn, also agreed to perform oral sex for $300, police said.
Colleen Matthews, 22, [pictured] who still lives in her parents’ home in Livingston, N.J., was accused of agreeing to perform oral sex for $500.
“I’m being hounded by reporters!” another suspect, Karina Vasquez, screamed into her cell phone inside her Harlem apartment yesterday.
Vasquez, 32, allegedly offered to perform oral sex for $200. Her neighbors said stripping allowed her to live comfortably and drive a Mercedes-Benz.
“She don’t talk to nobody,” said neighbor Tony Cruz, 31, who learned Vasquez was a stripper during a random visit to Scores last month.
Green, a strawberry blond who was also charged with prostitution in 2005, was released on $1,500 bail. The other strippers and managers were released on their own recognizance. All the suspects pleaded not guilty.
Another dancer was arrested, but prosecutors dropped the charges against her.
A lawyer for Scores has said he expects all the arrested workers “to be vindicated.”
A police source said cops began investigating the club after getting a tip from a disgruntled customer in October.
