Allentown woman sentenced for 24th prostitution conviction
By Kevin Amerman

A 47-year-old Allentown woman was sentenced to up to four years in prison Thursday after being convicted of prostitution for the 24th time.

The woman told Lehigh County Judge Robert L. Steinberg that her addiction to heroin and other drugs led her to the lifestyle.

”I don’t know how you’ve avoided diseases,” Steinberg said. ”That’s none of my business, but eventually this is going to catch up with you.”

The woman was sentenced to 16 to 48 months in state prison on prostitution and drug possession charges.

”The defendant is going to commit this crime again. The commonwealth has no doubt about it,” Assistant District Attorney Anna-Kristie Morffi told the judge.

Morffi said the woman has 33 prior convictions altogether, including probation and parole violations and drug convictions.

Wearing gold glasses and a beige prison jumpsuit, the woman said she’d like to get out of Allentown to start a new life.
