Police raiding Paris Adult shop.

Sheesh. Just took the DART through that area and for a brief moment considered getting off and seeing what was around. I imagine it’ll be quite slow tonight

The WFAA reporter points the cameras at home in 5101 as far as I can tell.

Being charged for human trafficking for allowing a few 304's to hang outside your premise is a reach imo.

Are you sure NFA is still open? So far I’ve not seen anyone report on other area porn shops. The early news reports said other establishments owned by this guy were also raided, but they didn’t know the names as of midafternoon.

Well it was enough idiots on Tik Tok putting out content on this location, it was a matter of time.

Bitches.

Whenever I was at Paris, the ladies always seem a bit too comfortable in the space. I think one time they were keeping their bags and food behind or on the counter. Evidence of trafficking? Of course not; but is a bit sus. I think that’s how places like Lidos stay open, they have a pretty strict no working ladies loitering around. I’ve only seen them drive through the parking lot but they never work there.

DG's and Pandoras were both closed last night (Saturday) which is rare so I'm assuming the guy owned those places as well or was affiliated.

Others have posted that NFA was owned by the same guy, and I did find some litigation against the parent company DBA NFA.

The case was awhile ago, and ownership could have changed hands since then, but I suspect it was also caught up in this.

One of the same articles that mentioned the IRS being involved also mentioned DHS. I thought that was interesting.

I believe DG’s has been closed for a while because a dancer was successful in a lawsuit, managers are at Lipstick now. I thought Pandoras had already closed (but could have already reopened), but the old group is now at Platinum.

NFA has been advertising before V-Day on the local radio stations.

What an end of an era. Miss the days of being able to just get a taco and Gordita and get a table shower and fuck and fuck and fuck. Or pick up a 304 on a whim. Will miss it.

Not to say he (whoever “he” is) didn’t have other interests, but it appears from the filings I saw that the company which owned Paris and NVA was pretty much just video joints/adult merchandise.

Anyone remember an adult drive in theater? I believe that was under the same corporate umbrella. I did not see any topless clubs in my brief research.

NFA has a bad ass toy section. I have been there a few times and ive never seen any shady shit there. Ive never once seen a single girl hanging out in the parking lot either.

I wonder if they can get in trouble, though, for selling generic versions of viagra and cialis without a prescription.

Y'all are gambling with a heart attack using those gas station dick pills
