Woman attacked by 10 prostitutes (yes, in Florida)

Socialite claims she was attacked by 10 prostitutes at South Beach hotel

MIAMI Times must be tough for South Beach hookers.

So tough, apparently, that they've now allegedly taken to beating down their competition or at least that's what a South Jersey woman claims in a civil lawsuit filed against the W Hotel.

​

Anna Burgese, an attractive socialite wife of a wealthy construction company executive, claims in the federal lawsuit that as many as 10 prostitutes jumped her in the hotel lobby on Jan. 19, mistakenly believing that she was homing in on their clientele. And instead of helping Burgese catch the attackers, the suit claims that the "prostitute-friendly" hotel put the call girls in a taxi to help them escape before police arrived.

Burgese and her husband, Joseph Burgese, claim that the assault was unprovoked and that the prostitutes threw her face-first against a stone wall and, in front of hotel employees, began pummeling her. Her husband was on crutches, and had been a few steps ahead of her when the attack began. He began hitting the women with his crutches, according to the couple's attorney, Lance Rogers of Philadelphia.

Miami Beach police apparently weren't surprised, Rogers said.

"They told her that the women were hookers who were likely drunk or on drugs and mistakenly thought Anna was a prostitute," the lawyer said.

Burgese was treated and released from Mount Sinai Medical Center. The suit specifies damages in excess of $150,000.

The hotel's spokeswoman could not immediately be reached.

Is it social progress that there was no "Florida man" mentioned in the story !?

Oh, that happens anywhere there's lucrative territory. I've heard of similar things.

Sounds like Anna got lucky. They usually charge quite a bit for that service.

hmmm... wonder what "coincidental misfortune" he found himself in... because a mind is naturally curious...

Rule #1: Never take your wife to the same hotel you take your prostitutes.

Actually, let's make that "Golden Rule #1".
