A Northeast Philadelphia woman has been found guilty on charges of being part of a mother-daughter prostitution operation.
Traci Young, 39, went on trial Monday and was found guilty.
Prosecutors said Young and her 22-year-old daughter Tami Smith, a mother of three, allegedly advertised acts of prostitution on the popular online classifieds site Craigslist.
Young and her daughter were arrested in the Wissinoming section on October 2, 2008.
Police said an undercover officer arranged a meeting with the women, who were under police surveillance for three weeks, via the Web site Craigslist. Their business was found under the exotic services section of the site with an ad for "mother and daughter tag team."
The officer met the women at a home they were renting in the 6100 block of Ditman Street.
Police said Young and Smith invited the officer into the home where the trio allegedly discussed services and agreed on a price tag of $200 to have sex with both women at the same time.
"It's a messed up world out there and we have to do this just to get by," Young told reporters as she was being led out of the home in handcuffs during the 2008 arrest.
Tami Smith had previously been sentenced to probation in June of this year.
