Chapter 4: Vice grip, or rise of the rat pack

continues with the police harassment of dancers that started in the 1970s continuing into the 1980s. It begins to extend outside of the venue of Les Girls Theater and into public places, and even into dancer's homes.

Decades ago, Kata Pierce-Morgan, a former dancer and the current owner of Les Girls, was labeled an"N.H.I." and"fringe woman" by the police. She and her fellow dancers faced an onslaught of police raids, nude interrogations and coerced encounters. But despite such harassment and intimidation, Kata did not stay silent and compliant. She and her late husband, James Morgan, fought back — specifically by speaking up against police abuse to a county grand jury.

Meanwhile the vice squad's so-called"rat pack," took their harassment to new levels.Candy was a dancer at Les Girls Theater in the 1980s.
