Shelton Police Arrest 2 on Prostitution Charges

Shelton police have arrested two people on prostitution charges after hotel employees noticed a lot of foot traffic in and out of one room Monday.

Police responded to a Bridgeport Avenue hotel to investigate a complaint that many visitors, mostly men, were frequenting a room on the third floor. When police responded to the room they found the suspects, 20-year-old Lesley Michelle Reyes of Bridgeport, and 51-year-old Albert Beckwith of Beacon Falls, inside.

According to police, Beckwith solicited Reyes for sex online, determined a price, and the pair then met at the hotel.

Reyes was charged with prostitution and released on a $1,000 bond. Beckwith was charged with patronizing a prostitute and released on a $1,000 bond. Both are scheduled to appear in Derby Superior Court on Jan. 3.
