TAMPA – With thousands of people heading to the Bay Area for the Super Bowl, law enforcement agencies are cracking down on criminal activity. The Tampa Police Department has launched a Super Bowl sex crime sweep. “The sun rises in the east, and hookers come into town during Super Bowl,” said Capt. Bret Bartlett. He says the main difference since the last time Tampa hosted the Super Bowl is the internet. Super Bowl escort ads are all over the world wide web, with tag lines like, “Hello Tampa, I just got in town” and another site offering “Super Bowl specials.” Bartlett says the extra advertising only makes things worse. “You can go to Craig’s List right now and get somebody to fix a roof and [also] find out where hookers will be here in Tampa,” he said. Police say it doesn’t matter if you pick a girl up on the street or phone for an escort, the dangers are the same. Bartlett says sexually transmitted diseases aren’t the only thing you |

should be worried about. “Whoever is running these girls may decide to go into your room and rob you,” said Bartlett. His advice is that you avoid jail and just enjoy the game. Strippers are also headed to the Bay Area for the Super Bowl. The big question is if officers will enforce the law requiring dancers stay six feet away from patrons. The last time the game came to town it was enforced. This time it appears as if it will not be as big of a deal. “Public safety will be the priority over strip clubs, the six foot rule, and other adult business related offenses,” said Andrea Davis with the Tampa Police Department.
