Sterling Woman Sentenced to Year in Prison for Prostitution

A Sterling woman was sentenced Wednesday to serve a year in prison after Loudoun County sheriff’s deputies found evidence that she used her home for prostitution activity.

Nataliya Davis, 44, was charged with two counts of child neglect, and prosecutors said she had directed her two children to take nude photographs of her for online prostitution ads, according to the Washington Post.

Davis, a native of Ukraine, is also being held pursuant to a federal immigration detainer, which directs her removal from the United States upon her release, the Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office said in a press release.

Local authorities began to investigate Davis last year after sheriff’s deputies responded to Davis’s home in Sterling, on two separate occasions, in response to complaints of loud noise, disorderly conduct and assaultive behavior, according to the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office. Eventually, authorities referred her two children, ages 8 and 9, to Child Protective Services.

On Wednesday, Judge Thomas D. Horne of the Loudoun County Circuit Court in Leesburg sentenced Davis to one year on each count of child neglect. The time is to be served concurrently, the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office said.

Horne also imposed an additional eight years of suspended time, five years of supervised probation, and ordered that Davis only have contact with her children as permitted by the Department of Family Services.
