35 arrested in Craigslist prostitution sting

Thirty-five people who were using the popular website Craigslist have been arrested by St Lucie County Sheriff’s deputies on charges related to prostitution.

Sheriff’s detectives assisted by members of the Port St. Lucie Police Department made the arrests after a three-day undercover operation that began last month.

It’s an open secret that people are using Craigslist for prostitution, according to St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara.

Some were charged with soliciting prostitution and others were charged with driving income from prostitution. Still others were charged with procuring prostitutes.

Port St. Lucie police detectives used agency surveillance equipment to provide technical support to St. Lucie County deputies in the operation.

Deputies posing as customers for prostitution used the Craigslist web site to arrange for the services of prostitutes, according to the Sheriff.

The undercover deputies arranged to meet the prostitutes at one of three hotels in St. Lucie County. Prostitutes were arrested, in some cases implicating their pimps, who also were arrested.

The operation took place Sept. 18, Oct. 2 and Oct. 17.

In other cases, the sheriff says undercover deputies placed ads in Craigslist and arrested would-be prostitution customers.

One of those arrested, Lisa Savoy, had a “little black book” with names of more than a dozen customers, and deputies are investigating the names in the book, according to Mascara.
