A Philadelphia woman was arrested Tuesday after she allegedly posted an ad on Craigslist offering to perform sex acts in exchange for World Series tickets, MyFoxPhilly reported.
Susan Finkelstein, 43, was charged with prostitution and related offenses after police say she advertised herself as a buxom, blond, die-hard Phillies fan who was desperately seeking World Series tickets and would have sex to get them.
"I'm the creative type! Maybe we can help each other," authorities say Finkelstein's online ad read. She described herself as "gorgeous" and said her price was negotiable, according to police.
Finkelstein was busted when, authorities say, an undercover officer responded to the Craigslist posting. She allegedly offered to perform sex acts on the officer in exchange for the coveted tickets of the baseball championship between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Yankees.
Police in Bucks County say a woman faces prostitution charges after posting an online ad seeking World Series tickets.
Bensalem Township police said they made contact with the female after viewing her add on Craigslist.com. The woman then allegedly solicited an undercover police officer to perform various sex acts in exchange for the tickets.
Charged with soliciting prostitution and related offenses was 43-year-old Susan Finkelstein, of the 900 block of St. Bernard Street in Philadelphia.
According to police, her online ad read: "DESPERATE BLONDE NEEDS WS TIX (Philadelphia) Diehard Phillies fan--gorgeous tall buxom blonde-- in desperate need of two World Series Tickets. Price negotiable--- I'm the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!"
"Her and her husband were looking for a chance to go to the World Series and she wound up in handcuffs," says Finkelstein's attorney Bill Brennan.
Brennan says the wording on his client’s online ad does not depict her as a woman looking for a sexual encounter. He says she’s misunderstood.
"You have a die-hard Phillies fan that uses a colloquial phrase and says 'I'll do anything for tickets!' and she's arrested. It's beyond the pale," believes Brennan. "For the life of me, can't figure out how there's criminal activity here."
On Finkelstein's Facebook page, she says she dreams of being "a Phillies groupie" and her attorney says her dream of going to the World Series is still alive, reported Fox 29’s Sean Tobin.
"She hopes so! She's looking for a couple of tickets, if anyone has a few," says Brennan.
Finkelstein has a preliminary court hearing scheduled for December 3.
