A Pennsylvania woman convinced a teenage boy to have sex with her several times a day and plied him with prescription pills — then advertised him as a prostitute on the Internet and used the proceeds to buy heroin, authorities say.

Joleen Gambardella, 36, was charged Friday by state police in Hazleton, a city of 20,000 some 50 miles south of Scranton, with endangering the welfare of a child and promoting prostitution.

Police had filed an arrest warrant for Gambardella two years ago after interviewing the youth over an incident involving a stolen gun. But they only caught up to her last week.

The teen, who was not identified, said that he began having sex with Gambardella when he was 15. He said that they would sometimes do it six times a day and that he enjoyed it.

He also told cops that she gave him prescription pills before introducing him to heroin.

Later, Gambardella posted nude photographs of him online and offered him for sexual encounters, according to police. But he said that once, when an older man showed up, he could not bring himself to have sex with him.

The victim also told police that Gambardella got pregnant but had an abortion at a clinic in Michigan in 2014.

Gambardella has a history of arrests, including prostitution, theft, forgery and impersonating a public official.
