I'm from this area and get back there often, but I never heard of this going on.
No "Pay for Play" activities was implyed. Two women saying that they were forced to participate is troubling.
But it sounds like it was mostly between consenting adults.
A couple of unsubstantiated reports of it not being voluntary for everyone are troubling but without hard evidence, there's no justification for the city to intervene. Even proof of this is found, it should be the husbands or boyfriends who are punished. The reverend sounds like another moralizer looking to stick his nose into the lives of people whose lifestyle he disapproves of.
...are unfounded, unverified, unlikely and untrue. Unfair and unbalanced. Advocates for Family Peace makes up false anecdotal reports to try and make themselves appear relevant. Why don't we ever hear about men reporting that their wives coerced them into participating in these types of activities?!
