Maryland State Police also arrest 19-year-old woman.
Police say Baltimore City police officer Lamin Manneh, 31, (left) and Marissa Braun, 19, were arrested on criminal charges including prostitution and human trafficking.
A Baltimore City police officer and a woman have been arrested on criminal charges including prostitution and human trafficking, the Maryland State Police said.
Authorities said the Maryland State Police Child Recovery Unit was working their normal proactive child prostitution/human trafficking operation Thursday when they found a young-looking woman posting on an Internet escort website they said advertises for prostitution.
Police said they singled out one ad in the erotic section and arranged a meeting via text.
Undercover police then waited for 19-year-old Marissa Braun, who called herself Lexi, to arrive at a hotel room in the area around Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. She went inside while her husband, police said, waited outside in the parking lot.
Marrissa was arrested after she allegedly told an undercover officer “You give me the $100 and then you can (have sex) with me.”
She then said her husband “posts the ads and uses his credit cards to do so. He drives her from date to date since she cannot drive.”
