Police Chief Involved in Payoffs Grand Jury Testimony
Reported testimony from two former madams and other witnesses details a South American styled sex trade in California and nearby towns. Former Police Chief and aides allegedly took bribes to protect bawdy houses from raids from 1949 to 1951. Dixie, known as Tugboat Annie, claimed her bordello earned about twenty thousand dollars in a single three month period in 1951. Marie Raynaud testified that the business paid well, with hundreds monthly in protection money. Some officials denied the accusations while others faced scrutiny in a grand jury probe.
