Teen charged with running prostitution ring of high schoolers:
MINNEAPOLIS — Federal authorities are investigating a 19-year-old Eagan, Minn. woman suspected of operating a prostitution ring of high school students through the motel where she worked.
Justine Alex Reisdorf was charged last month in a federal criminal complaint with recruiting minors for prostitution after some teenage girls who allegedly worked for her told investigators that she was actively recruiting clients for sex.
Investigators believe that Reisdorf advertised in the “erotic services” section of Craigslist.org, an Internet bulletin board, and more recently on the “Live Links” telephone chat line, according to a sworn statement by FBI agent Lisa Nielsen.
Reisdorf, the mother of a 14-month-old girl, was charged June 14 with recruiting minors for a prostitution ring that operated in Dakota County from November 2006 until June. Nielsen, of the FBI, outlined the case in several affidavits filed to obtain search warrants and to substantiate the complaint.
Bratulich learned that Reisdorf was recruiting high school girls to work for her as prostitutes at a townhouse she rented in Burnsville, Nielsen said.
Bratulich found advertisements on Craigslist that read: “Hi Fellas. it’s the party girls …200 roses for 2 hours for one of us … 375 roses for 2 hours for 3 of us … Kandy, Deja and Carmen.” He learned that “Deja” was an alias used by Reisdorf, and that “roses” was a code word for dollars.
Last month, another juvenile told Bratulich that Reisdorf was “actively recruiting minor children to engage in acts of prostitution,” Nielsen said. The investigation indicated that Reisdorf was using her job at the Hampton Inn in Burnsville “to obtain hotel rooms for purposes of prostitution,” she continued.
So Reisdorf has a kid and was recruiting minor girls. Remember kids, there is no such thing as a victimless crime.
SCITUATE - Police have arrested a woman on charges that she sold sex out of her boyfriend’s home.
Police say for at least the last three months, Amy D. Olson, 34, has been working as a prostitute, advertising her services on the online classified advertising site Craigslist.
She was arrested yesterday in a sting operation involving detectives from Hanover, Marshfield and Scituate.
Scituate Detective Lt. Michael Stewart said Olson told an undercover detective before her arrest that she has been seeing two customers a day from her boyfriend’s home, charging $275 an hour.
The home, at 3 Alden Ave., is in a normally sleepy section of Scituate near the beach in Shore Acres, inhabited mostly by families with young children and summertime visitors.
‘‘Everyone will be shocked,’’ said one neighbor, who asked not to be named.
Olson was arraigned today at Hingham District Court on charges of prostitution and possession of marijuana.
Although arrests are rare, there is ample evidence that prositution exists on the South Shore. Scituate has not had a prostitution arrest in at least five years.
A Patriot Ledger survey of a two-week period last year found 180 postings in the ‘‘erotic’’ section on Craigslist by people identifying themselves as living on the South Shore or willing to visit. Some offered free services, but most listings included hourly rates or requested donations.
A check today showed 388 local listings for the past six weeks. Quincy had the most, with 100. Scituate had just four.
This isn’t just happening in inner cities. This is happening in your backyard.
