Ashland Woman In Court For Prostitution Charges

A Lehigh County judge ruled that an Ashland woman will be charged with prostitution-related offenses after a sting at strip club in Allentown earlier this year.

Tawnia J. Brown, 23, of Ashland, along with 3 other women went before a judge this morning for a preliminary hearing on the charges.


Authorities are alleging that the women offered to perform sex acts in the Champagne Room of the Platinum Plus Gentlemen's Club on Airport Road, Allentown.

According to court records, undercover agents of the Bureau of Liquour Control Enforcement posed as wine sellers and paid $300 to get into the Champagne Room.  Once inside the dancers offered sex acts ranging from $200 to $1000.

Police had raided the club May 1.
