LEMON TWP. —

A prostitution operation police say was operating out of house in a Lemon Twp. subdivision was busted Friday afternoon by an undercover detective.

Monroe police received a tip about suggestive ads posted on a website listing the location as “Monroe, Middletown and Trenton.” A check of the web site turned up daily ads posted by two women who offered services together, according to Detective Gregg Myers.

“I placed a phone call and scheduled a time,” Myers said.

The detective said he made contact with a woman who said she was Katy who said both girls were available for $200 for full services. She stated there would be no kissing and a condom had to to be worn, according to the police report.

When Myers arrived at the door of 517 Diamond Loop, he was let in the door and the two women allegedly discussed price and sex actions. Myers then signaled for police to respond.

Alicia Cope, 26, 517 Diamond Loop, and Jamie Waybright, 22, 219 E. Circle Drive, Mason, were both charged with solicitation, a third-degree misdemeanor. They were transported to the Middletown City Jail.

Myers said the women indicated they had offered solicitation for about a month. One of the women said that there were usually about six clients a day, Myers said.

While the woman were negotiating prices with the detective, two children, ages 7 and 3, were present with two other adults, Myers said. Butler County Children Services was called to investigate.

The house is located in a usually quiet subdivision just outside Middletown and not typically a problem area of police.

Myers said, “there are no limits to good and bad neighborhoods. It can happen anywhere.”
