Deputy's wife charged in prostitution operation

FARMINGTON HILLS -- The wife of a veteran Oakland County Sheriff's deputy faces multiple counts of prostitution in what authorities describe as a long-running operation in which she allegedly advertised her services for $250 an hour through a Web site.

Christy Ann Newlin, 45, of Waterford Township, was arraigned Wednesday before Troy 52-4 District Judge William E. Bolle on charges of keeping a house of prostitution, use of a computer to commit a crime, accosting and soliciting, and use of a computer to commit prostitution. She was similarly charged before Farmington Hills District Judge Marla E. Parker, also on Wednesday, and released on personal bond in both cases pending a Monday preliminary hearing.

"I often receive tips, anonymous tips, regarding criminal activity of citizens, and this one, unfortunately, concerned alleged activity of the wife of one of my officers and, more unfortunately, proved to be true," said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard, who initiated the investigation earlier this summer.
"But it shows we have rules that have to be followed, and people have to be held responsible," said Bouchard, who declined to provide specifics of the probe and how confirmation of illegal activities was ultimately determined by deputies.

Bouchard said it is believed "thousands of dollars were involved" in the illegal business and that she may have then used much of the money to gamble at area casinos.

Bouchard stressed an internal investigation of Newlin's husband, a respected veteran who has held many duties within the department, showed he had no involvement in the illegal activity, and he remains on the Sheriff's Office payroll. "He is very distraught over this; it has been very emotionally draining for him and others," said Bouchard.

Oakland County Assistant Prosecutor Edward Cibor said investigators believe the activities occurred over a 12-year period.
"She would advertise that she would be available three days a week for $250 an hour and appointments would be made via the Internet site," said Cibor.
Newlin used several upscale suburban motels to meet her customers and told workers there she was a pharmaceutical sales representative who would have clients visiting her at various times, Cibor said.

Cibor stressed that the investigation indicates Newlin acted independently and that no one else has been charged in the incidents

Cool, hahahaha, 1 question.

If my wife had money coming in, i would kinda know where its coming from, or know where she works at?

12 years seems to be a long time to conceal something like this from your spouse. wonder if shell write a book, on how she did it for 12 years.
Feel bad for the deputy, if he had no knowledge of this scheme.

Well, it says she went to the casinos, so maybe she just lost it as soon as she made it???

Sucks to be him.

$250 an hour....for that!

We men are so stupid, and I'm not just talking about the deputy.

Hell, who knows, maybe she swallowed.

She may have said the extra income came from a good night at the casino, if she didn't blow it all there.

She sure blew something.

Which reminds me..............what do you call a hooker with a runny nose?

FULL.

He never noticed? Strange....

**ex401mp** · 08-21-07, 08:10 AM

She even looks like a skank. You cannot tell me that she did this for 12 years and he had no idea? Come on, give me a break, 12 years? If he really did not know, then I would have to say that he has NO INVESTIGATIVE SKILLS whatsoever.

**Ducky** · 08-21-07, 09:16 AM

Maybe when she started, she wasn't that bad?

Alternately, it could be 24kt gold and have a vibrate option. I dunno.

I feel sorry for this woman as well as her husband. What she did was wrong, but I wonder how messed up she must have been to feel that she needed to work as a prostitute, and how much she must have hated her life.

Feel bad for the husband all you want, her actions have cast doubt on him, both as a man and as a cop. Don't feel sorry for her though, her selfish actions have cost her loved ones far more than any money she could have possibly made.

True, we may not know the "whole story" of this woman's childhood, environmental circumstances, etc, but I do not feel sorry for her at all if this was of her own doing. There comes a time in a persons life where you get to an age of accountability and know better. I feel sure she had the avenue and ability to have help should she have needed it. I don't think she needed it.

**Pretty Boring Civi** · 08-21-07, 09:49 AM

This just makes me wonder...

Every time I've seen photos or footage of women charged with prostitution, the women have been kind of unattractive.

If the unattractive women make money at this, how much money do the pretty ones make? And why aren't more pretty ones going for it? There's some serious moolah to be had!
