Another Woman Charged With Prostitution At AJ's Go Go Bar
"The inaction of the Alcohol Beverage Control Board continues to allow vice crimes to flourish at AJ's," said the Secaucus Police Chief.
SECAUCUS, NJ — In April, Secaucus Police received a tip that prostitution is still ongoing at AJ’s go-go bar in town.
In 2022, Secaucus Police arrested these three women who work at AJ's, charging them with prostitution. The year prior, Secaucus Police made a sting of nine arrests at AJ's, for a mix of prostitution and cocaine/pill sales.
In response to continued complaints about prostitution at AJ's, undercover Secaucus Police were inside AJ’s during the week of June 10.

Secaucus Police Chief Dennis Miller said Friday he wants the state to take away AJ's liquor license.
“The State Alcohol and Beverage Control Board continues to allow AJ’s operate, despite my plea to them to revoke their license,” Miller said Friday. “I commend the efforts of our investigative personnel for their continued hard work, but I feel like my police department is working alone. The inaction of the state Alcohol Beverage Control Board continues to allow vice crimes to flourish at AJ’s.”
