Woman Allegedly Offers Sex for Series Tix

(CBS/AP)  Police in a Philadelphia suburb they've arrested a woman who offered sex for World Series tickets.

Bensalem police say 43-year-old Susan Finkelstein was arrested on Tuesday.

Investigators say Finkelstein posted an ad on the Web site Craigslist in which she described herself as a "gorgeous, tall, buxom blonde diehard Phillies fan" in desperate need of tickets, according to CBS station KYW-TV in Philadelphia.

Police say her posting went on to say the price was negotiable and that "I'm the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!"

An undercover officer responded to the ad. Police say Finkelstein offered to perform various sex acts in exchange for World Series tickets.

She is charged with prostitution and related offenses. Her listed phone number was disconnected, and it couldn't immediately be determined if she had an attorney.

the student at richardson hs was harmed because of lack of police officers, but in this case he (officer of the peace) went for the bait intentionally... the force needs to spend their time better like at proms and other events where minors can get hurt not on the web....

Wow - her hubby better bee line for the clinic. Wonder what she did for the 'fridge - clothes dryer - Tv - Stereo. Geez, how embarassing for the husband. Wonder if she got an arrangement with the land lord, at least they're way ahead of this economic slump.

Situational ethics put us on a slippery slope. If it is okay for two consenting adults to swap sex for things, why not slide a little further and let an adult and a minor swap sex for things or two minors swap sex for things? Should our laws reflect what we want to do or should what we do reflect our laws? It is true that many people flaunt the laws. It is also true that many people obey the laws. A prominent educator in the early 1900's once stated that "no one has the right to do something that, if everyone did it, would destroy our society." Perhaps this is the crux of the issue.

You act like prostitution just occurred for the first time yesterday and it is libel to touch off a wave of similar incidents.

Hey Gary Barbera! You better hook her up with some more home town tickets with the PHILLY teams before she gets arrested again! So is she going to the 3rd game in gold plated hand-cuffs?

Halloween is right around the corner it makes you wonder if she's going to try and dress up as a SIXERS girl for the playoffs or get a HAT-TRICK for the Flyers during their playoff run.
HMMM? You just never know.

Eagles might make the playoffs this year. It makes you wonder if she has an EAGLES Cheerleader outfit at home. What did I say? You just never know. HMMMM?
