There have been four additional arrests in this multi-jurisdictional effort. One arrest of interest is that of Tara Nordick, 17 years old.
Ms. Nordick is charged with prostitution and also is a suspect in four robberies. Basically solicitors show up for her “services” and are robbed.
Earlier, ten people were arrested for prostitution related charges that are internet based. Fourteen persons have now been arrested in the prostitution sting.
Investigators from Citrus, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Polk, and Sumpter counties and the Orlando Police department joined in a joint operation to crackdown on the illegal activity.
Investigators say Craig’sList is a major contributor driving this type of crime but other internet based services are involved as well.
Among the 10 persons charged are:
Selina Johnson B/F
Rose Angelica Valle W/F
Devin Littlejohn B/F (has several prior prostitution arrests)
Tessa Ledwig W/F
Paulina Balisamo W/F
Tjari McCloud
Orange County Sheriff Demings reminded that prostitution is not a victimless crime.
