Ten of the 15 women were charged with a first offense, including Christina Cervera, 53, of Deltona, who said she "had been a prostitute only for a few months because she needed fast money,” according to a police report.

The News-Journal, citing a police report, said that several of the women put undercover officers through a series of tests to prove they were “not a cop," including making them touch their exposed breast.

They were arrested after negotiating a price in exchange for a sex act, police said.

The man, George Gregory Buckner, was arrested on a charge of solicitation to commit prostitution.
