A 48-year-old Florida woman who advertised herself as a “Sexy Gothic Mistress” was arrested Tuesday during a prostitution sting in Monroe County, the district attorney’s office reports.

Tammy Curran, who was staying in a hotel in Smithfield Township, had an advertisement on a website used for prostitution that caught the attention of a county detective, according to a news release and court papers. The ad, which was aimed at people seeking sex with a middle aged woman, listed a phone number and information on sex acts Curran was willing to perform, the district attorney’s office said.

The detective communicated with Curran via text message and they agreed to meet about 2:30 p.m. and engage in an hour of sex for $220, the district attorney’s office said. A search of the phone number revealed it was assigned to Curran, court papers say.

A male undercover officer met with Curran in the hotel restaurant, she matched photos on the website ad and was subsequently arrested, the district attorney’s office said.

She was read her rights and she told authorities that she had drugs in the room and consented to a search, the district attorney’s office said.

A small amount of marijuana, a smoking device, a laptop, several lingerie items, condoms and dominatrix devices were found, court papers say.

She was arraigned before District Judge Michael R. Muth on charges of promoting prostitution, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, records show. Because she had no permanent address and no family in the county, cash bail was requested and set at $1,000, the district attorney’s office said. Curran was housed in Monroe County jail, where she remained Wednesday afternoon, records show. Her preliminary hearing is tentatively scheduled 10 a.m. May 22 in District Judge Brian Germano’s court.

Court papers did not list an attorney for Curran.
