Nearby: Cranberry Police Charge Two in Undercover Prostitution Investigation

Cranberry Police have arrested two women as part of an undercover investigation into prostitution activities in the Cranberry area.

Lindsay Gagliordi, 33, of New Castle, and a woman identified in the criminal complaint only as “Jane Doe,” were arrested Tuesday, Aug. 6 at the Red Roof Inn along Route 19 in Cranberry.

Both are charged with promoting prostitution, criminal use of a communication facility and possessing an instrument of crime.

According to the criminal complaint filed by Cranberry Police, undercover detectives found the contact information for both women on the website backpages.com under the Pittsburgh escorts section.

The complaint said Gagliordi answered a phone call from a Cranberry detective under the pseudonym “Angel” and agreed to meet him at the Red Roof Inn in Cranberry. Police arrested her at the hotel after she agreed to a sex act in exchange for money.

Gagliordi admitted to engaging in prostitution activities after her arrest, the complaint said. She added she did not place the ad on backpages.com, but said she was in contact via text message with the woman who did.

The unidentified female, who called herself “Jenny” on the phone, also was arrested Tuesday at the hotel after she agreed to a sex act with the undercover officer in return for cash.

No identification was made of “Jenny” at the time of her arrest, the complaint said.

Police also found two cell phones, a digital tablet and a condom on the bed in the room with the woman. One of the cell phones was assigned the number the officer used to call “Jenny” to make their arrangements to meet.

An open notebook in the room also included several phone numbers and meeting times, including the cell phone number the officer used to contact the woman with “3:30” written beside it.

Gagliordi currently is in Butler County Prison, unable to post the $100,000 bail, according to court documents. She is set to appear at before District Judge David Kovach in Cranberry at 9 a.m. Aug. 16.
