Prosecutors: Bikini barista stands offered prostitution, banked $2 million for owner

EVERETT,
Wash. - Authorities say the owner of bikini coffee stands in Washington
state banked more than $2 million in just three years because her
baristas were also selling sex acts.
Snohomish County prosecutors
charged 52-year-old former nude dancer Carmela Panico with promoting
prostitution and money laundering, alleging that she was the madam of
drive-thru brothels throughout the county north of Seattle.Court documents say the baristas would expose their breasts and genitals and charge for sex acts.
The Everett Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1lliY1P ) Saturday that Panico's attorney told the court she is no longer in the coffee business and has sold off some of her stands and leased others. In a raid last year, investigators found $250,000 at Panico's home.
The investigation into Panico has also resulted in the prosecution of a veteran sheriff's sergeant. Darrell O'Neill is accused of tipping off Panico and baristas to ongoing police investigations in return for sexual favours.

I saw one of these and was quite surprised when driving from Seattle to Canada. When I saw the green outfit with the butt cheeks part of the costume missing I kind of thought that they might be selling more than coffee, especially with the bare legs and garter belt and the tattoo of the cross behind her left ear. However, the lady was really beautiful and perfect even if I thought it was inappropriate and sold more than coffee.I stopped for gas and to go to the bathroom and noticed this little coffee hut on the property outside the main gas station building.
