WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) – Prosecutors say a ring that sent high-priced call girls to major hotels in the New York suburbs has been busted.
District Attorney Janet DiFiore [pictured] says two people have been charged with promoting prostitution. She says they ran the operation from their homes in White Plains, recruiting, managing and scheduling more than 30 women.
DiFiore says the agency was advertised on Craigslist and in the Village Voice and was described on its Internet site as an escort service “catering to the upscale gentlemen with a taste for the very best.” Rates ranged from $600 to $2,000 an hour.
The district attorney said Thursday that women were dispatched to hotels in Rye Brook, Tarrytown and White Plains.
One woman was charged with prostitution.
