Spanish bar owner promised waitress sex as raffle prize

SALOBRENA, Spain, Aug. 14 (UPI) -- A Spanish pub owner is receiving criticism from officials and locals for offering sex with a waitress as a raffle prize.

The pub owner, whose name was not reported, said he canceled the party at his Salobrena business due to complaints from locals in the city, The Local.es reported Wednesday.

The posters promoting the party said a raffle would be held and the winner would receive a sexual encounter with a "special waitress."

María Jose García, equality councilor in Salobrena, said the planned party was "sexist and disrespectful towards women."

"It incites prostitution and views women as mere objects," García told Spanish news agency EFE of the party's promotion.
