Police in Bucks County say a woman faces prostitution charges after posting an online ad seeking World Series tickets.
Bensalem Township police said they made contact with the female after viewing her add on Craigslist.com. The woman then allegedly solicited an undercover police officer to perform various sex acts in exchange for the tickets.
Charged with soliciting prostitution and related offenses was 43-year-old Susan Finkelstein, of the 900 block of St. Bernard Street in Philadelphia.
According to police, her online ad read: "DESPERATE BLONDE NEEDS WS TIX (Philadelphia) Diehard Phillies fan--gorgeous tall buxom blonde-- in desperate need of two World Series Tickets. Price negotiable--- I'm the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!"
"Her and her husband were looking for a chance to go to the World Series and she wound up in handcuffs," says Finkelstein's attorney Bill Brennan.
Brennan says the wording on his client’s online ad does not depict her as a woman looking for a sexual encounter. He says she’s misunderstood.
"You have a die-hard Phillies fan that uses a colloquial phrase and says 'I'll do anything for tickets!' and she's arrested. It's beyond the pale," believes Brennan. "For the life of me, can't figure out how there's criminal activity here."
On Finkelstein's Facebook page, she says she dreams of being "a Phillies groupie" and her attorney says her dream of going to the World Series is still alive, reported Fox 29’s Sean Tobin.
"She hopes so! She's looking for a couple of tickets, if anyone has a few," says Brennan.
Finkelstein has a preliminary court hearing scheduled for December 3.
