Cops: Prostitute, man rob home after ‘john’ failed to pay
WEST CHESTER (AP) – Police say a Philadelphia prostitute and a male friend robbed a home in the suburbs after one of her customers failed to pay her for sex.
The alleged prostitute, 22-year-old Monica DeJesus, and 36-year-old Justin Harris, remained in the Chester County jail Tuesday on charges including robbery, conspiracy and promoting prostitution.
Philly.com reports they went to the residence in East Goshen Township about 5:30 a.m. Sunday.
Harris allegedly had a gun and kicked in the door, but was overpowered by one of two residents inside, who hit Harris in the face with a fireplace poker. DeJesus then picked up the gun and pointed it at one resident as the other ran away.
Police found the couple a short time later with the gun and unspecified property taken from the residence.
Court records don’t list defense attorneys.
