Trafford woman accused of prostitution
A Trafford woman is facing prostitution charges after witnesses told police they watched men going in and out of her apartment at least 16 times between January and April, according to court papers.
The men would stay for 30 minutes or less at the apartment of 30-year-old Sarah Angela Frye, police said.
A Trafford officer entered Frye’s phone number, which he had from a previous arrest, into an internet search after receiving complaints about “heavy traffic involving various males of various ages” at her apartment, according to court papers. The officer tracked down ratings, reviews and advertisements linked to that phone number on two websites that advertise sexual services, police said.
Frye is charged with prostitution and possession of drug paraphernalia. She is being held at the Westmoreland County Prison on $15,000 bail.
She did not have an attorney listed in online court records. A May 14 preliminary hearing is set.
