A Florida mom was arrested for forcing her underage daughter to have sex with men in exchange for money. The mother traveled with her daughter to New York City to take advantage of Super Bowl fans looking for a rendezvous, the New York Daily News reported.
Yolanda Ostoloza, 39, said she came to the city with her 15-year-old daughter to work as prostitutes.
"We came up here to work and make money with a pimp," Ostoloza said according to court documents obtained by the Daily News. "I knew it was for escorting and prostitution."
But Ostoloza said her daughter, whose name was not released, wasn't supposed to do anything extreme.
"I thought my daughter was just going to do the fetish stuff," Ostoloza said, according to the Daily News.
Police arrested Ostoloza, from Hollywood, Florida, when her daughter agreed to engage in a sex act with undercover Bronx detectives. The detectives searched the Internet pretending to be interested clients, and agreed to pay the girl $200 for a meeting at the New York Hilton hotel just after 12 a.m. on Wednesday, the Daily News reported.
Before they arrested her, the girl told the police she was only 15, and that her mother was waiting at another hotel.
Ostoloza was later arrested at the Double Tree Metropolitan on Lexington Avenue and East 51st Street. She was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and promoting prostitution, the Daily News reported.
Police are searching for Ostoloza's pimp, whose official name is not known. Another Florida woman who is Ostoloza's friend, Tara Todd, was also arrested. However, she will not face prosecution, the Daily News reported.
Ostoloza's arrest is part of a larger effort by law enforcement to eradicate the city of prostitution schemes taking advantage of the influx of travelers for the New Jersey-based Super Bowl. On Thursday authorities busted a prostitution ring with 18 workers that ran out of a Manhattan apartment.
