The women generally said they had to have sex with clients or they couldn’t work there.

“The owner covered his butt by us going on camera, knowing what we were doing and if we didn’t we couldn’t work there,” one former employee told investigators. That woman said she was told one day to leave work after she refused to do “full service.”

Another woman, interviewed in February 2012, told police that she was fired from the Rising Sun because she wasn’t “doing the programs” properly — having the client shower, followed by a back rub, then by whatever else followed, including sex. She said that while working at the Rising Sun she had sex with clients at least 60 times.

Police interviewed another woman who worked at the Rising Sun from 2003 to 2005, who said Charles Prindiville taught her how to tell if a client was a police officer.

Another former employee told police that she was assigned to Goodweiler, the accountant, as a regular client whenever he came to the business.
