Passaic: A man and woman both face prison sentences for their roles in what amounted to the gang rape of a drugged dancer at a gentlemen’s club seven years ago, according to Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia Valdes.
Trystal Lozada, 27, formerly of the Bronx, and 28-year-old Michael Ramirez, formerly of Passaic, were found guilty of charges including aggravated sexual assault Friday, after an eight-week trial in Passaic County Superior Court.
The jury found Lozada and Ramirez each guilty of three counts of first degree aggravated sexual assault, two counts of second degree sexual assault, two counts of third degree aggravated criminal sexual contact and two counts of fourth degree criminal sexual contact.
Ramirez also was found guilty of second degree conspiracy to commit aggravated sexual assault.
According to prosecutors, the repeated sexual assault happened on November 5, 2012, at Mr. B’s Gentleman’s Club in Passaic after the club closed for the night.
Prosecutors said the victim, a former dancer at Mr. B’s, was drugged by one of the club’s managers, leaving her mentally incapacitated and physically helpless, at which point she was repeatedly sexually assaulted inside the club.
The victim reported the sexual assault to Passaic Police the next day and was taken to the hospital, prosecutors said.
Portions of the sexual assault were videotaped by one of the people taking part, Valdes said. The videotape was recovered by police and introduced into evidence during trial.
Lozado and Ramirez were sent to Passaic County Jail Friday ahead of their sentencing, set for March
13, 2020.
As reported by NorthJersey.com, Ramirez was the club manager and Lozado also was a dancer at the time of the prolonged sexual assault on the 26-year-old victim. They are among seven people who later faced criminal charges.
Two more accused rapists already pleaded guilty to first degree aggravated sexual assault stemming from the same 2012 incident. Miguel Delacruz is serving a 12 year state prison sentence he received in 2018, according to Valdes, while Ashley Maldonado is scheduled to be sentenced on February 28, 2020.
The same report by NorthJersey.com said Maldonado pleaded guilty in 2017 and testified for the state.
Another co-defendant, Luis Guzman is scheduled for trial on January 27, 2020.

Which one is the woman?
Can we STOP calling them “gentlemen’s clubs” please.
Suzie Fimiani right??!!
Suzie Fimiani why? That’s what they’re.
Suzie Fimiani ladies club sounds better ?
Suzie Fimiani we once were treated by a past employer to bowling which just so happened to be right next door to this kind of club. Well my 11 year old son at the time said, “What kind of gentlemen goes into a place like that?” Mama was so proud. ????
Most of the clientele are gentle, and soft. Very soft…
Stripper surprised she got drugged and raped at a strip club? Isn’t sex and drugs part of that scene? I’m not saying that she deserved it, just that… people who play with fire should expect to get burned eventually.
Stop the hypocrisy. Your husbands are going to places like this as much as they can. Your kids will too once old enough. Nothing will ever excuse this but extremely bitter and prudish hindsight is not needed
It’s a brothel… they’re called brothels..lol
If you find yourself sitting around a bunch of other men starring at a woman half naked.. please consider yourself a total loser…just saying
Don Adelman I’ve gone and the chicks are mostly nasty, unless it’s a high end club. Went to an all nude club and im pretty sure one of the dancers (and that term cracked me up) either just gave birth or was 5 months pregnant. Looked like her vagina was so stretched out and pretty sure she had hemorrhoids.
Don Adelman not everyone is stupid enough to waste their money in these places.
As a side note only idiots tip “dancers”.
