Child sex ring busted at Hyatt House hotel in Herndon

From an ABC 7 News report, comes this close to home report. Presumably this was at the Hyatt House hotel on Herndon Parkway, and not the one on Old Ox Road outside of Herndon, although the story is not clear.

Authorities say members of the violent street gang the Bloods were selling four 17-year-old girls for sex inside an extended stay hotel in Herndon.

According to a search warrant, an undercover Fairfax police officer responded to a Backpage.com escort ad in Dec. and agreed to pay $250 for sexual services from two girls. Once he arrived at the Hyatt House hotel, the undercover officer found four girls inside a two-bedroom suite.

As two of the girls allegedly stripped to their underwear and began searching for a condom, investigators charged into the room and arrested all four teens. Police say one of them had $1,500 stuffed in her underwear, and another admitted to servicing four men at the hotel right before the bust.
