Avon Police Charge Unionville Woman with Advertising Prostitution Services Online
Elizabeth Clark, of Unionville, is also suspected of larcenies at Avon and Simsbury businesses.
A Unionville woman believed to be advertising prostitution services online agreed to "perform a sexual act for money," according to Avon police.
But the man that Elizabeth Clark, 23, met with turned out to be an Avon police detective investigating a tip that a woman "was advertising sexual acts on the internet for money in the Farmington Valley," police confirmed in a press release.
Police charged Clark, of 1675 Farmington Ave., Apt. 3, with prostitution, possession of narcotics and possession of drug paraphernalia on May 30 at 2:48 p.m. She was arrested at 800 Old Farms Road in Avon near Fisher Meadows.
After her arrest, police said Clark admitted that she shoplifted from the Avon CVS. Police said she is also "a suspect in several larcenies from businesses in Avon and Simsbury."
The case remains under investigation.
Clark is scheduled to appear in court on June 19.
