Police took down a brothel this week, arresting a woman accused of prostitution and five men allegedly there for her services, authorities said Thursday.

A search was conducted at 7629-A Chestnut St. near Manassas Park around 8:03 p.m. Tuesday, said Officer Erika Hernandez, Prince William police spokeswoman.

Detectives from the police department's street crimes unit seized approximately $859 and charged Yudelka S. Escolbores, 25, of no fixed address, with prostitution, Hernandez said.

An ICE detainer was placed on Escolbores, who is from the Dominican Republic, Hernandez said. She is being held without bond at Prince William-Manassas regional jail pending a June 6 court hearing.

The following were charged with frequenting a bawdy house and were released on summonses:

Jose E. Cubias-Reyes, 26, 9379 Taney Road in Manassas; Eric M. Aguilera, 33, 123 Manassas Drive in Manassas Park; Ariel S. Moya, 22, 116 Holden Drive in Manassas Park; Israel Diaz-Diaz, 44, 7401 Willoughby Lane, Apt. 101, near Manassas; and Edson N. Lino-Cardenas, 33, 8318 Leighlex Court outside Manassas Park, Hernandez said.

Each is scheduled to appear in court June 6.

Also arrested during the raid was a 17-year-old, Hernandez said. He was charged with pandering.

The teen, whose name was not released because he is a minor, is being held without bond at the Juvenile Detention Center and will have a hearing in Juvenile and Domestic Relations court.

Police began the investigation after receiving a tip that the house was being used for prostitution, Hernandez said.
