Three jailed on prostitution rap:
This happened in Idaho. There’s probably a joke in there somewhere.

SANDPOINT — Three people were arrested Thursday for allegedly selling sex through craigslist, a free online community which connects people with jobs, apartments, vehicles and other services.

Lavelle Necoy Baudin, 23, Randi Jo Friss , 24, and Selene Ann Mende, 29, were arrested during a sting operation conducted at a Sandpoint motel on Thursday night, police Chief Mark Lockwood said.

“It’s probably the first prostitution arrest in Sandpoint since the second world war,” he said.

The man and two women are charged with participating in a joint venture to accept prostitution earnings, a felony offense. The three made initial court appearances Friday via video feed from the Bonner County Jail.

A search of craigslist on Friday showed only one entry for “erotic” services in Sandpoint. Posted on July 6, the entry advertised “2 erotic entertainers” who were available for “discreet outcall encounters” at the rate of “200 roses each or $350 for both.”

Contained in the posting were four images of two scantily clad women in a variety of sexually suggestive poses.

Lockwood said the case is particularly unnerving because of the criminal elements which travel the same orbit as those involved in prostitution, including sexual offenders.

Just more proof that this is happening everywhere.
