Update With Photos: Cedar Falls, Waterloo Women Among Arrests in Iowa City Prostitution Sting

Iowa City police officers in cooperation with other local law agencies made a slew of arrests earlier this week using undercover officers to respond to ads either seeking or offering the services of a prostitute.

The arrests, with few exceptions all made in Coralville on April 10, are as follows according to criminal complaints released this morning. Note, prostitution by itself is an aggravated misdemeanor charge:

- Melody Kanosha McCullom, 21, of Waterloo is the person facing the most serious charges -- in addition to prostitution, she also has been charged with felony pimping, human trafficking, and pandering for involving her underage sister in prostituton and allegedly taking money from her after she collected the money from these acts. She was arrested after arriving at a predetermined time and place and agreed to perform a sex act for money, according to the complaint.

McCullom told police after a drawn out interrogation that she operates her business over the Internet and is able to net several thousands of dollars per week. She also allegedly told police that she involved her willing sister in this enterprise, having her to do the sex acts for cilents that she was not willing to do. Since her sister is underage the human trafficking code still applies, even though she was a willing participant.
