      First time hearing of this. But how is this never really brought publicly. Same reason diddy only getting flushed now?

      Regime don’t want to open another can of worms?

      Also on the Californian side you had the sugar shack where all classic rock superstars went to do the exact same thing.

      We often forget that the hippie scene was predominantly white, male, and came from privileged backgrounds. That’s the only demographic that was liberated by the freedom movement. Same with the NY arty scene.

      I think you’re talking about the film “Glory Daze: The Life and Times of Michael Alig” and the associated Club Kids scene. Folks may also recall the film “Party Monster” about the same guy.

      I’m somewhat familiar with the Club Kid scene and while they were often young and often used drugs, I’m not convinced of the sex trafficking scheme that your post seems to imply. Do you have any references, if that is your claim?
