Golf course 'dotted with prostitutes' tents during tournament' |
Police in California who raided a private golf tournament say they found prostitutes' tents dotted around the course.
They detained over 100 golfers and arrested six others during the raid on the Hidden Valley Golf Club in Norco.
The Times says an LA restaurant booked the course under the name Golf Ventures, thought to be an alias for its real name.
As the 100 competitors and 19 women were taken off for questioning, six people were led from the course in handcuffs.
The club says it is as shocked as police.
Lisa McConnell of the sheriff's department in Riverside County, east of LA, said: "As part of a golf tournament, sex acts were offered to participants for a fee. There were tents set up around the course where people could pay for sex."
Club manager Eric Roush said: "The restaurant had a few tournaments here - three or four I would say. We knew nothing about any of this activity."
