3 charged in Bethpage prostitution busts

A Brooklyn man was arrested and charged with drug possession and promoting prostitution Monday night in Bethpage and a woman he was with was charged with prostitution after she offered to engage in "sexual conduct" for $310, police said.

Another woman was also charged with prostitution following a separate incident Monday night in Bethpage, Nassau County police said. In that case, the woman offered sex for $250, according to police.

Police said the Brooklyn man was arrested along with a 53-year-old woman from Flushing at a Bethpage address after the woman offered sex for $310. The arrests were made at 10:15 p.m., police said. Police have not released the Bethpage address where the two were arrested.

The man was charged with fourth-degree promoting prostitution as well as unlawful possession of marijuana.

The woman was charged with prostitution, as was a 34-year-old woman from Astoria who was arrested 10 minutes later at another location in Bethpage. Police also withheld that address.

The man and the two women were all scheduled for arraignment Tuesday in First District Court in Hempstead.
