GWINNETT COUNTY, GA -- Two Gwinnett County women were arrested Wednesday for what police called "high end prostitution."
Investigators said the women were real estate agents by day and prostitutes by night, operating out of one of Gwinnett County's most affluent areas.
The two women, 42-year-old Lisa Taylor and 30-year-old Nicole Probert, were charged with prostitution, racketeering and conspiracy to possess cocaine and they were allegedly operating out of a home in the Sugarloaf subdivision in Gwinnett County.
Taylor also goes by the name Melissa Wolfe and is said to be a former Penthouse Playmate.
Investigators said the pair was running a high-end prostitution ring out of a home at 2800 Sugarloaf Club Drive and charging prices up to $10,000 for sexual acts.
District Attorney Danny Porter said the women posed as real estate agents, but had been operating a brothel for the past three years in the gated golf-course community.
"The customers ranged from doctors to car salesmen, to construction people. There were a variety of customers," said Porter.
Porter said he anticipated more arrests of more prostitutes and their clients. Porter said the suspects kept very detailed logs of their clients and the District Attorney's office has now seized them.
Both women were being held on a $27,900 bond Thursday afternoon.
