Bank's 'free peep show' upsets sex workers
Friday, August 24, 2001
Sex workers at a New Zealand massage parlour are outraged staff at the bank next door could be peeping at them.

Girls at Candy's Gentleman's Club in Queenstown are upset about the hole in the wall through to next door.

The girls say bankers should make a deposit if they are going to peep on them.

"I don't mind them looking at me getting changed as long as they poke a $20 note down the pipe on a piece of string," said one of the girls.

The hole was discovered when parlour security adviser and spokesman Scott Howie investigated claims a leak from their side was flooding WestpacTrust Bank next door.

He said: "I crawled up into the roof and the walls between Candy's and the bank trying to find the leak and found that a hole had been kicked through the fire wall from the bank's side. You can see down to the girls' toilets and changing rooms."

But bank manager Keith Vaughan dismisses any thought that his staff could have been peeping into the parlour when Truth contacted him this week.

He told the New Zealand Truth newspaper, "It sounds like someone's playing a prank."
