Mayor, others push back on Canadian company’s proposed robot brothel in Houston
HOUSTON — A so-called robot brothel a Canadian company said it wants to open in Houston is getting pushback from local officials and community groups, with the mayor saying the city is reviewing its ordinances to determine if they address public safety and health issues raised by the business.
Mayor Sylvester Turner said he’s not trying to be the “moral police” but this is not the type of business he wants opening in the city.
“We do need to be very mindful of what comes into our city and what our children and others may be exposed to. So I want to be very sensitive to that,” Turner said Wednesday.
KinkySdollS announced last month on its Facebook page that it plans on opening a “love dolls brothel” in Houston. It would be the company’s second location. The first location opened in 2017 in Toronto.
