This presentation will look at the investigation involving Anthony Curry and how he seduced, groomed, trafficked, and exploited a 15-year-old girl in the Beaverton, Oregon area. Curry acted as the “master manipulator” when their relationship first started and then continued for weeks. This presentation will also focus on the individual strip club that hired “Stasia,” and how this was the second case where the club had employed a minor to dance. Detective Opitz will discuss the complexity of the investigation, struggles that law enforcement and prosecutors faced, and lessons learned, and how the strip club was forced to change their business practices regarding how dancers were hired and employed.
