Detectives seized $5,379 in prostitution proceeds in the second raid, police said.

Police seized $353 from Valez, $25 from Juarez, $2,804 from Lopez-Michicoj, and $2,197 from Casanova.

    Catching Corona from those girls should be the least of your concerns. More likely to get HIV, HEP C, Gonorrhea, Syphilis etc etc

  • John Brown
