RIVERSIDE, NY — Sex trafficking charges were dismissed Tuesday against a woman accused of helping a Bay Shore man sell women for sex and raping a teen after investigators learned she was also a victim, Newsday reported.
Samantha Wimmer, 39, of Central Islip, pleaded guilty to prostitution, which will be dismissed if she avoids being rearrested for six months, the outlet reported.
Wimmer helped Danny St. Louis, 45, arrange dates for two women out of motels, including one she filmed to advertise sex, the outlet reported.
St. Louis was also charged with raping a 13-year-old Patchogue girl whose 25-day disappearance led to a dozen arrests, including sex trafficking, according to the outlet.
Patch has reached out to her attorney, Peter Mayer of Hauppauge.
