Stacey Dooley admits taking her daughter to a BROTHEL when she was just eight months old while filming Nevada sex work documentary
Stacey Dooley has admitted that she took her daughter Minnie to a Nevada brothel when she was just eight months old during a TV appearance on Tuesday. The TV star, 38, is known for fronting hard-hitting documentaries that shine a light on some of life's darkest places. In her documentaries so far, she's explored topics such as stalking, fast fashion, poverty, prostitution and religion. However, Stacey has admitted she brought her daughter along while filming in a legal brother in Nevada in the US. Appearing on ITV 's This Morning with her husband Kevin Cliffton, the presenter made the admission as she prepares to take her daughter on the road while starring in 2:22 A Ghost Story. Stacey jokingly told Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary that the couple were 'dragging her along' on their tour. The star then added: 'She's a good sport, ain't she? 'Because she's always been on the move, she's quite adaptable. 'I took her to a brothel in Nevada once when she was eight months!' Kevin then interjected: 'I was sitting in a trailer with her outside the brothel for like three days and three nights reading the same thing.' 'We had to get special permission from the sheriff because she was under 18,' Stacey added to the stunned hosts. The former Strictly star reassured Alison and Dermot that it was 'all above board' as they quickly moved on with the interview. Previously speaking about the experience, Stacey told The Telegraph how she had already signed up to front the doc without realising Minnie would be only eight months. She explained: 'I have to then rent a trailer to put [my child] in. Her dad stays in this trailer with Minnie looking out the window while I'm filming and then going back to the trailer to breastfeed Minnie, and all the girls [working at the brothel] are like: "Morning Miss Minnie!" Kevin then interjected: 'I was sitting in a trailer with her outside the brothel for like three days and three nights reading the same thing' The TV star, 38, is known for fronting hard-hitting documentaries that shine a light on some of life's most darkest corners 'I'm like: she'll be open-minded if nothing else!' The documentary aired in 2024 as part of her series with Sky, called Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over USA. She welcomed first child Minnie with professional dancer Kevin, 42, in January 2023, the pair fell for each other while competing on Strictly Come Dancing together in 2018. In March, Stacey released a book called Dear Minnie, in which she wrote a heartfelt letter to her now two-year-old. In the letter, she detailed the moment she realised she was expecting back in 2022, after taking a pregnancy test in the Selfridges toilet.

I run Vegas sex resort loved by A-list CELEBS with over 100 beauties – we offer unique experiences they won't forget
AT a picturesque ranch near the Vegas strip, madam Dena Duff offers a discreet service. Celebrity hotspot Sheri's Ranch has strict protocols - particularly with some of the pricier experiences costing eye-watering six-figure sums. 10 10 Dena Duff, 54, has been the madam of the venue in Pahrump, Nevada, for 19 years. She says the brothel, which is licensed, has been turning the heads of the famous who flock from Sin City. And staff have measures in place to ensure sex-obsessed A-listers don't get caught. Duff told The Sun: 'We've absolutely had celebrities and well-known people come through these doors. 'But whenever anybody asks me who they are, my lips are sealed. 'Usually, if they're of a higher profile when they arrive, it's set up prior and we have arrangements where they go right with the lady that they're coming here to see. 'Or we have private areas where we could do a meet and greet. 'There is a bar and restaurant at Sheri's and many clients do hang out in the bar, have a drink and have some lunch. 'We also get people who come in just to have lunch and aren't actually looking to see any of us. 'It's not strictly necessary that if someone comes, they have an appointment. 'We follow an appointment protocol without having to put celebrities out in the bar for everyone to see, if that's something they'd prefer. 'That happens even sometimes just for people who are very shy and nervous, even if they aren't necessarily famous, but then of course we are prepared as well when these higher profile clients come in.' Prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas, but is legal at Sheri's Ranch, which lies around 60 miles from the strip, thanks to a loophole. Some of the pricier experiences cost six-figure sums - particularly for stays at their hotel, staff confirmed. Each worker determines their own rates - and the resort has 100 licensed sex workers who rotate, with 25 available at any one time It now also offers customers the chance to film their experiences with women who work there, keeping a copy with permission. Married porn star Electra Rayne, 28, has been working as a sex worker at the venue for two years. She offers packages including a 'double porn star experience' with fellow adult actress Summer Hart. Rayne says she also hosts 'toy parties' and knows a colleague who offers a 'double redhead experience'. 10 She told The Sun: 'The idea of exchanging sex for money was always something that really interested me. 'I really like being able to bring joy to lots of people. "It's not necessarily sexually gratifying, but it is gratifying to be able to figure out what someone wants, what is enjoyable for them, and then to be able to give it to them. "When I moved to Las Vegas, I had heard that there were legal ranches. 'I didn't know very much about them but I've always been a big rule follower to the point where my family actually makes fun of me. "So this is not something that I was going to just start doing myself. 'But once I moved here, I had a friend who started working at Sheri's, and she actually had a really good time there. 'And so I was like, okay I'm going to give it a try. "I also do porn, and I was only planning to do it once as an opportunity for my fans to come meet me, but I ended up enjoying being there so much and enjoying the staff so much that now I'm there every month." 'DOUBLE PORN STAR EXPERIENCE' Rayne also cleared up the "common misconception" that prostitution is legal in Las Vegas. 'In order for a county in Nevada to have legal brothels, it has to be in a county below a certain population threshold, and then also it has to be done at a licensed brothel," she said. 'So I couldn't just meet a client in my county and go to see them at their hotel or something, that would still be illegal. "They have to come to you, not the other way around.' She continued: 'One thing that's actually a great example of what's happening right now: a really good friend of mine, her name is Summer Hart, she is also a porn star. 'She is a more famous porn star than I am, but we've been really good friends for years. From me being like, 'oh my God, I love working there, it's so great', she finally was like, okay I want to try it. 'So she is coming for her first time in just a couple of weeks, and we'll be there at the same time. We have been actively marketing a double porn star experience. 'Sometimes other ladies will get together too when they have common interests or there's something about them, like I have a friend who is a redhead and is planning to put together some packages with another redhead for a double redhead experience. "There's a lady that I love booking toy parties with.' Duff began working at the venue in 2006 following a chance tour she took there when she visited with her mother-in-law for lunch. She was pulled to one side and was offered a job she has held ever since. Rayne says she has seen endless eye-opening requests from customers since she started working there. And she says her wife is 'fully supportive' of what she does for a living. Rayne added: "Some things that I do are pretty interesting, things that people don't necessarily think about. I never in a million years thought I'd be a porn star. It was just like a bucket list thing 'I have a client who comes to see me who likes to try on my skirts, but what's interesting about him is all of the rest of the sex is very vanilla and normal. 'I love when guys bring me their wives and they really just want to watch while I play with their wives. Those are some of my favourite appointments." She added: 'I never in a million years thought I'd be a porn star. It was just like a bucket list thing. 'I started stripping to pay for college. I absolutely loved stripping. I finished my degree, and I started going to work with my degree but I was still dancing on the side. 'And then in 2019, I had 3 surgeries, and I was diagnosed with a chronic illness, and so I racked up $10,000 in medical debt, and I was back in the strip club for one week in March of 2020 when all of the strip clubs closed. 'So I hopped on the OnlyFans train at that time like everyone else did. 'Then in March of 2021, I quit my day job to do adult work full time. In October 2021, I moved from Chicago to Las Vegas for my job.' She added: 'My wife is super supportive. In fact, on my first trip to Sheri's, she drove me and she helped me bring in my suitcases.' With its unique luxury packages and 100 licensed sex workers on rotation, the popularity of Sheri's Ranch shows few signs of slowing.

Aussie ‘madam' reveals what really happens inside a brothel
'When the panic button was pressed, I had to step in.' You might expect to hear this from a security guard in a bank or prison. But this is a day in the life of a Melbourne brothel madam. Historically, the world's oldest profession has been run by women. Australia has a rich history of madams tracing back to the era of powerful female monarchs like Matilda 'Tilly' Devine. That's because women are often better placed to navigate the sensitive balance between the needs of their workers and clients. But few are cut out for it. From humiliation kinks to bikies and high-powered clients, Krystal Galtry has seen it all. Now, the glamorous OnlyFans creator is lifting a lid on her glory days working in the legal sex trade. Spoiler alert: there was never a dull night. Because wherever you stand morally on the issue of prostitution, who isn't curious to see what really goes on inside a brothel? 'In the deep end' For Krystal, it all kicked off during the pandemic. Like many others, she found herself out of work when the world stopped spinning. One night, she met an events promoter with a misty offer for cash-in-hand work. 'He gave nothing away,' she told 'Just, 'wear black and look presentable'.' Only on arriving did Krystal's new job sink in: she'd been hired as a brothel door girl (she was later promoted to madam). There wasn't a wealth of onboarding. 'With only a brief rundown of what to do, I was thrown in the deep end.' Night in the life Krystal's shift would start by greeting clients and ushering them into the intro booth. Before workers come in, they can identify clients via a security camera. This ensures it's not someone they know or wouldn't feel comfortable having sex with. Next, Krystal prompted the workers when it was time to file in one by one and introduce themselves. Before a decision was made by the client, Krystal would sometimes negotiate what services were on and off the table – and for how long. 'At first, I wondered: why are they talking to me about this? Then I learned they're more comfortable arranging it through me.' Krystal would then collect payment from the client and assign them a room. In brothels, workers pocket a percentage of their earnings, with the remainder going to the business. Next, she notified the worker and supplied the tools of the trade. Krystal was then responsible for keeping track of who was in what room and for how long. Or if they needed a hand getting out. Panic button That's when workers could use the infamous panic button to alert her when they need help. This was her time to literally step in (the doors were never locked). 'The button is for when clients broke the house rules,' she says. 'They might try things like removing condoms without consent, which is sexual assault. Or they might try services that weren't negotiated or paid for in advance.' At that point, Krystal would step in to 'end the session'. But what if they didn't get the message? 'I'd call the other girls in. No security guard is as intimidating as a bunch of fired-up sex workers.' Despite evoking a Wild West impression, Krystal said she never felt unsafe on the job. And she made the safety of her workers a top priority. 'Brothels are full of strong, supportive women who look out for each other,' she said. If anything, it was the uncouth clients who ended up feeling spooked by her. 'And I've always been a bit intimidating. If someone acted up, I had no issue giving it right back.' 'That's what makes me a good fit for the role.' 'Collars and leashes' Krystal said there are many presumptions about the sort of people who frequent brothels, and most of them are wrong. She saw many high-powered figures coming and going. And whatever their sexual fetish or fantasy, she catered for it. 'Many were married, wealthy and into submission,' Krystal says. 'When you spend that much of your life in a position of control, what entices you most is letting go it.' Krystal says these clients often wanted to fulfil humiliation fantasises – including blackmail roleplay. The more strange, sadistic, and ridiculous things got, the more fascinated she became. 'It's all about power. The client wants to be dominated and made to feel completely out of control. Clients would provide embarrassing photos or a wife's phone number. The dominatrix would use this threat of exposure to get them off. 'This provides a real sense of risk and submission,' she explained. These businessmen would get changed into dresses, collars and leashes, sometimes asking her to lead them around on it like a dog. One client even asked to have a worker rub Deep Heat on his genitals. But ultimately, Kystal believes what they were searching for is human connection. 'Sex workers offer something incredibly valuable: non-judgmental intimacy,' she said. 'Not everyone is able to find love or connection in traditional ways.' Krystal says for some clients, brothels are the only hope of human connection. 'It can bring the emotional and physical closeness they were missing — without strings like the social pressure of dating.' She says other clients enjoy the transparency. 'The exchange is clear: both people understand it'. Criminal underworld Despite the sexual nature of the experience, the legal sex industry in Australia is heavily regulated. All brothels must be licensed, registered, and granted council planning approval. They face fines and closure if they don't carefully follow a strict set of rules. To enforce these rules, officers from the health department and the council often make unannounced visits. Ironically, brothels also intersect with the criminal underworld. The shadow of outlaw bikie clubs has long hung heavy over the industry. Krystal said this legacy lives on today. 'There's still some level of criminal crossover. While nothing overtly illegal happened in front of us, you'd see men come in and out who were clearly affiliated with bikie gangs,' she said. 'With time, it was another side to the job that became normal to workers. 'It wasn't something we engaged with or questioned. The connection to the criminal world just hovered in the background.' Dirty laundry Of course, it wasn't all peaches and cream. Like any job, being a madam has its tough slogs – like doing the laundry at the end of the night. 'I'll be honest: that was the worst part!' Krystal also said it was challenging being exposed to vulnerable workers. 'One of the hardest parts is dealing with workers who come into the industry for the wrong reasons. They're often struggling mentally or emotionally,' she revealed. 'They usually don't last long, but while they're there, it can be tough watching them try to cope.' Despite these challenges, she says it was an overwhelmingly positive culture. She added that perceptions of the industry as seedy and misogynistic are misunderstood. Despite the stigma, it's a profession that most women pursue by choice. And she no longer feels ashamed of or embarrassed about her time as a madam. 'At first, I was nervous about people's reactions, so I kept it private. But now I say it proudly,' she said. 'People assume we're only in it for the money. We're all drug-addicted. We only do it because we have no other options. 'The truth? Many of us do it because we love our bodies and their power to create a safe, accepting space where people can feel seen, cared for, and understood. 'Most women in this industry genuinely love their work. The sex industry can be incredibly empowering,' Krystal added. 'Personally, it brought back my confidence.' While Krystal has swerved into a successful career as an OnlyFans creator, she says she wouldn't have gotten where she is without being a madam. 'It opened my eyes to the world of kink and eventually led me to incorporate similar services into my online service,' she said. 'This industry has done so much for me, it deserves credit.'. Ultimately, Krystal is adamant of one thing: despite the ugly stereotypes, brothels are a place of beauty.

Tourist, 18, ‘sexually assaulted by bouncer and prostitute' on hols hotspot island after ‘he woke up naked' at brothel
A TEENAGE tourist was allegedly sexually assaulted by a bouncer and a prostitute on a holiday hotspot island - after waking up naked at a brothel. The alleged perpetrators were arrested by police after allegedly sexually assaulting the 18-year-old German holidaymaker in S'Arenal in Majorca, Spain. 2 2 The alleged victim claimed he was scammed out of €450 before being taken to a room and falling unconscious. He claimed he was then sexually assaulted while he was asleep - and woke up later on fully unclothed. Both of the suspects denied all of the charges against them on Friday, and the investigation is still ongoing. The man submitted the police report after going partying with pals at a brothel on Pare Bartomeu Salvà Street, commonly known as "Ham Street" on Wednesday night. But he claimed the group did not pay for any sexual services - they only stayed for drinks before leaving. After realising a staggering sum of €450 had been removed from his account, he returned to the brothel in the early hours of Thursday and demanded for the money to be sent back. He went back alone at 3am without his friends, and threatened to call the cops if his money was not returned. The doorman then allegedly invited him in, before he began to feel dizzy and was pushed into a room with another woman. The 18-year-old claimed he felt faint before falling completely unconscious. After an unspecified amount of time, the holidaymaker woke up and allegedly found the woman naked in front of him. Moment man who 'posed as Uber driver to attack woman' is stopped with 'rape kit' The teen claimed his clothes had also been removed and he was also laying naked. He also said there was a used condom on the bed where he had passed out. Immediately after realising he had woken up, the bouncer allegedly entered the room and pushed him out He also allegedly said to the teenager as he came in: "Get dressed and go." After leaving the hotel confused, he filed a report and told his mates what happened. He added that he did not drink any alcohol at the brothel. But he believes he was spiked at another local establishment before losing consciousness in the brothel. The young man went to Son Espases and then filed a police report, along with a medical examination for proof. The report also emphasised that the man went back to ask for his money back, and "did not want or intend to have sex with any woman". Local cops launched an investigation after receiving the complain. And hours later, they arrested the prostitute and the bouncer alleged to have carried out the sexual attack. The two defendants denied the tourist's accusation. According to their accounts, when the young man first visited the brothel, he wanted to pay for sex with the woman. He agreed to pay €450, but did so via bank transfer, which didn't arrive immediately. As the payment was not received straight away, the store manager told him he wouldn't be able to have sex with the woman until it was confirmed. The sex worker and bouncer alleged that the young man returned early the next day. And after verifying that the cash had been successfully transferred to the destination account, they allowed him to have sex with one of the employees.

Brothel introduces 50% ‘Trump tax' on American customers – sending price of ‘full service' sky high in tit-for-tat move
A BRAZILIAN brothel has slapped a steamy 50 per cent tax on its American customers in response to Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs. Cabare Thatys Drinks, a sex bar in the city of Fortaleza, added the so-called "Tarifa do Trump" in a tit-for-tat move, sending the cost of a night of 'full service' soaring. 5 5 5 It came just after the US president imposed a punishing 50 per cent import duty on all Brazilian goods last Wednesday. The retaliatory charge was revealed on a handwritten bill issued to an unnamed US punter, who was hit with an additional £14.01 on top of the standard £33.35 for a 'Programa' — local slang for full service. With extras including five beers and a condom, the final bill totalled £55.36. The move has gone viral on social media, with the bill racking up nearly 150,000 retweets within hours of being posted on Friday. Mocking the policy, Brazilian political group Youth for Democracy said: 'Retaliation to the US has already begun in Fortaleza! 'A more patriotic establishment than Congress!' One user defended the brothel's bold pricing, adding: 'I will defend the establishment, it is all within the consumer law. 'And within the law of reciprocity!' The cheeky tax comes amid an escalating global trade row ignited by Trump's surprise tariffs. Trump says US will send Patriot missiles to Ukraine Just days before the brothel bombshell, the president imposed 50 per cent tariffs on Brazilian copper and other exports, citing 'national security' concerns and Brazil's handling of a criminal case involving ex-president Jair Bolsonaro. Despite the US running a trade surplus with Brazil, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett defended the move, saying it was part of a broader plan to 'onshore production' and reduce trade dependence in case of a 'national emergency.' But Trump hasn't stopped at Brazil, which is America's second largest Latin American trading partner. He's also slammed the EU and Mexico with fresh tariffs — 30 per cent on imports starting August — triggering outrage across Western capitals. European Parliament trade chief Bernd Lange branded the move 'brazen and disrespectful,' calling it 'a slap in the face.' EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned the t ariffs would 'disrupt essential transatlantic supply chains,' and said countermeasures were being prepared. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni's office said in a statement: "We trust in the goodwill of all players in the field in order to reach a fair agreement that can strengthen the West as a whole, given that - particularly in the current scenario - it would make no sense to trigger a trade clash between the two sides of the Atlantic. "It is now crucial to remain focused on the negotiations, avoiding polarisations that would make reaching an agreement more complex." Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, meanwhile, urged diplomacy, saying she hoped to negotiate a deal before the tariffs hit. Trump's fiery tariff strategy has become a cornerstone of his presidency redux, targeting even long-time allies like Canada, Japan, and South Korea. His administration argues the tariffs will boost U.S. manufacturing, protect supply chains, and strengthen the economy. 5 5
