Cops: Brothel 'Busier Than Fast-Food Drive-Thru'
HAVERHILL (WBZ) ―
Haverhill police have arrested two women they say were offering sex for a fee in an apartment across the street from a Roman Catholic church.
Sgt. John Arahovites told the
Eagle Tribune police learned of the alleged operation because of neighbors' complaints and described the house a "busier than a fast-food drive-through."
He says the women needed the money to feed their drug habits.
Police say 41-year-old Johna Sibley and 45-year-old Lisa Gaziano were charged with knowingly permitting the premises to be used for prostitution, sexual conduct for a fee and keeping a noisy and disorderly house.
The apartment on Blaisdell Street is across the street from All Saints Catholic Church.
The women were ordered held on $1,500 bail at their arraignment on Thursday.
