A COURT has awarded control of a brothel's sex toys to SA Police, although prosecutors have admitted they are unsure what officers will do with them.

The former manager of Snoopy's brothel, Georgia Nicola, 45, of Unley, today pleaded guilty to keeping a brothel, living on the earnings of prostitution, and receiving money paid in a brothel.

Henry Cleland, prosecuting, told Adelaide Magistrates Court that an undercover policeman had entered the South Rd brothel in November, 2008, and paid Nicola $140.

Police then raided the house and seized cash and "numerous articles to do with sexual acts" before arresting Nicola.

Mr Cleland asked Magistrate Terence Forrest order Nicola forfeit the items, but admitted he "did not know what police would do with them."

Craig Caldicott, for Nicola, said his client no longer ran the brothel and has begun stable work as a receptionist.

He said Nicola would pay the "lion's share" of the money earned from her clients to the women who worked at the brothel.

Charges of managing a brothel against Nicola's co-accused, Andrew Kalogeras, 42, of Unley, were dropped.

Mr Forrest fined Nicola $1000, recorded a conviction against her and ordered she forfeit the sexual items.
