Metro Workers Busted in Transit Sex Ring

Posted Jun 27, 08 4:58 AM CDT in Crime & Courts 

(Newser) – Two workers in the Washington Metro transit system have been busted for running a prostitution ring from one of the train stations, and using a loudspeaker to arrange a tryst, according to police. One of the staffers, a station manager, advertised available "sexual pleasures" in flyers, reports Fox TV. She presented a book of options to an undercover cop that could be obtained on trips to Brazil—or locally, police said.
