A 32-year-old North Andover mother pleaded not guilty Friday in Lawrence District Court to several charges centered around an alleged operation of a house of prostitution.

Melissa Halstrom of 93 Elm street, Apt. 1, was arraigned on charges of inducing a minor to prostitution, maintaining a house of prostitution, deriving support from prostitution, posing or exhibiting a child in a sexual act and distirbution of obscene material.

The North Andover woman was also charged with distribution of a Class E substance.

WCVB-TV reported that police said they were first contacted by a 16-year-old runaway from Maine who said Halstrom recruited her to be a prostitute.

When Fat Teddy and Chris Dodd repent of their predilection for ‘waitress sandwiches’, resign their Senate seats, and apologize to their constituents and all of America for dishonoring their respective States.

IOW my FRiend, *never*.

North Andover is a very toney North Shore suburb of 33,000 people. I live there. Just looked up the address, and 93 Elm is in a somewhat ramshackle area of town, with lots of two-family houses.
