WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE. From News Reports. October 8, 2009: The Westchester County District Attorney, Janet DiFiore announced the end of a two year undercover investigation into a major upscale prostitution operation involving as many as 30 women who were sent on guest-requested rendezvous to major White Plains hotels, including the Crowne Plaza, and Residence Inn in White Plains, the Hilton Rye Town and Doral Arrowwood Hotel in Rye Brook, and Springhill Marriott Suites Hotel, the Marriott Courtyard and the Marriott Hotel in Tarrytown.

The operation was allegedly run by two residents of White Plains who recruited interested women and arranged assignments for them, and advertised the service on Craig's List and the organization website.



Ms. DiFiore announced that Kenneth J. Fuina  of Devonshire Drive (off Rosedale Avenue in White Plains) and Shawana Smith of Barker Avenue in the heart of downtown White Plains were arraigned in City Court today, each on felony charges of promoting prostitution. Their bail was set at $100,000 cash or bond. Genevieve Margaret Peattie, of Forest Hills, Queens, was arraigned and charged with prostitution, a misdemeanor, and released in her own recognizance.

The District Attorney's office conducted a two year undercover operation, with cooperation and help of the Rye Brook, Rye City, Greenburgh and Elmsford police departments.

The women dispatched to the various hotels billed $600 to $2,000 an hour for their time,according to the District Attorney's Office.

The investigation is continuing.

Deputy Commissioner of Public Safety in White Plains,  Daniel Jackson, asked about whether White Plains Police participated in the District Attorney investigation wrote in a statement:

" I do not have any details on the case. I would suggest contacting the D.A.'s office if they announced the arrests. "
