Police charged a 43-year-old woman with prostitution yesterday after she offered sexual services in exchange for tickets to the upcoming Baseball World Series.
Susan Finkelstein of Philadelphia, was arrested after police responded to an advertisement she posted on online classified site Craigslist, the Bensalem, Pennsylvania, police department said on its website.
Finkelstein's ad, described her as a "desperate blond" in need of tickets to the World Series featuring her hometown Philadelphia Phillies against New York Yankees.
"Diehard Phillies fan gorgeous tall buxom blonde in desperate need of two World Series tickets. Price negotiable.
I'm the creative type. Maybe we can help each other," it said. Bensalem police responded to Finkelstein's ad and filed prostitution charges against her after she "solicited an undercover police officer to perform sex acts in exchange for tickets." The Phillies open their defence of their Major League Baseball title against Yankees in New York today.
