Police hope madam, 80, can stay out of trouble

Jun 7, 10:37 AM (ET)

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - An 80-year-old woman, who uses a walker and an oxygen tank, has been busted for running an escort service from her New Jersey apartment, state police said on Monday.

Vera Tursi, who rarely left her low-income apartment in Lindenwold, took phone calls from men who answered her Internet ad for "August Playmates" listed under "Personal Escort Services" and other headings for at least six months until her arrest in May, according to police.

Tursi, who inherited the business from her late daughter, was charged with promoting prostitution, a felony.

"We doubt very much whether she will see jail time," said New Jersey State Police Capt. Al Della Fave. "She will probably get some type of probation, and as long as she keeps herself clean while she is on probation, she'll stay out of prison."

Evidence in the case will be considered by a grand jury.

Tursi was charged with sending escorts to meet men depending on the clients' preferences and which of her escorts were available, Della Fave said.

Her activities were discovered by police running an investigation called "Operation Risky Business" which cracked down on several escort services, leading to the arrest of 42 people and the seizure of more than $70,000.

Yeah I thought this was pretty bizarre. I read it to my mom and her snarky comment was that she had never considered supplementing her retirement that way, and that at least she was a nice pimp (in another article it said she keeps $60 out of the $160/hr fee).

"Operation Risky Business"

Man, nobody would have ever cracked that secret code name. We should have them writting code for the military.

Cop1: Hmm, ok we need a code name for our speed trap.
Cop2: How about Radar O'Rielly
Cop3: How about Speedy Gonzales
Cop4: How about Smoky and the Bandit
Cop5: How about Speed or even Speed 2-Cruise Control

All the cops applaud

How about code name Speedy Air Walker Wink

Did anyone ever think that this woman couldn't afford all her health care
and meds and saw this as a way to do so, along with buy a few groceries?

Send this one to the Social Security Commission to ponder on!
