Louisiana Woman Accused of Prostitution

(Baton Rouge, Louisiana) A 19-year-old local female, Payton Shelton, has been arrested for prostitution along with a 16-year-old female friend after an undercover police sting operation.

Shelton faces a charge of prostitution.

The undercover deputy met the two women at the Courtyard Mariott on Acadian Thruway.

The deputy met Payton Shelton, of Baker, and the 16-year-old girl at the hotel. He was told that the cost would be $600 and the two girls would perform various sexual favors. He was told an additional $200 would buy him an additional half-hour with both girls.

The arrest report describes in explicit detail the services the girls agreed to perform, and those which were excluded.

The deputy gave Payton $800 in cash. She allegedly replied “Ok, I’m going to go and hide the money and we are going to get undressed,” after he gave her the money.

Shelton was booked into custody at the East Baton Rogue Parish Prison with bond set at $10,000.

The 16-year-old was taken to the Juvenile Detention Center.
