Photographer's caption reads, "I gave the girl in cornrow braids and cheerleader outfit fifty cents to call her pimp. She hadn't skipped out, she told him tearfully. She'd spent the night in the lock-up at the twin towers downtown. She thought the man was a john. But he'd turned out to be a cop. Honest. It was a sting. No way to tell. She still had the jail bracelet on her left wrist. She would keep it on to prove she wasn't lying."
