Man Trafficked 2 Women At Bensalem Motel: Police

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —A man has been charged with the human trafficking of two women at a township motel in which he gave them drugs and "set up dates with johns" on a website, police said.

The Bensalem Township Police Special Investigations Unit responded Thursday to the Inn of the Dove on 3901 Old Street Rd. for a prostitution investigation at Room #114.

Upon arrival, they discovered that Dennis Ruoff, 49, had rented the room and had two active warrants. Police did not state where Ruoff lived.

When police knocked on the door, Ruoff and a female looked out of the window but never answered the door for police.

The room was secured to obtain a search warrant.

A short time later, Ruoff opened the door and surrendered to the police. When police went into the room, they discovered the two adult women inside, police said.

After interviewing the women, it was discovered that Ruoff was trafficking them by giving them drugs, setting up "dates" on a website, and forcing them to have sex with the "johns."

He told the women that they owed him for the drugs he provided. One woman said Ruoff sexually assaulted her.

Ruoff was transported to the Bensalem Township Police Department where he was charged with human trafficking, sexual assault, and related offenses.

He was arraigned by District Justice Michael Gallagher and remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10 percent of $1 million bail.
