4 charged in N.E. Phila. prostitution sting

Three women from Philadelphia and one from Bucks County have been arrested in a prostitution sting operation in Northeast Philadelphia, authorities said Friday.

The vice squad had received complaints about illicit sex acts being performed on the 6800 block of Torresdale Avenue. After an undercover officer was solicited for sex by a number of "massage therapists," police raided the establishment Tuesday, police said.

Arrested and charged with prostitution, conspiracy and related counts were Aneisah Scott, 20, of McMahon Street; Christina Bohnert, 26, of Griscom Street; Brenda Davila, 39, of Griscom Street; and Lisa Ann Kingston, 52, of Croydon. - Sam Wood
