Prostitutes West Islip

Here’s a clearer breakdown of the key events and information related to criminal activity involving prostitution and sex trafficking in West Islip and surrounding areas on Long Island:

2013 Prostitution Ring Bust

In May 2013, authorities busted a significant prostitution ring operating in Suffolk County. This ring allegedly ran brothels in Holbrook and West Babylon. Among those indicted were:

• George F. Trimigliozzi, an 18-year veteran Suffolk County Police Department (SCPD) officer.
• Steven Arey, an Islip high school teacher and gym coach.
• Anthony Saggio, an associate linked to organized crime (mob) from West Islip.

They were charged with promoting prostitution and managing sex workers as part of an alleged criminal enterprise. Authorities seized $104,225 in cash from Trimigliozzi’s West Islip home during the investigation.

Asset Forfeiture Proceedings

By late 2023 and into 2024, prosecutors pursued asset forfeiture related to this case. They sought to seize approximately $1.9 million, including a $1.2 million Fire Island beach house connected to the illicit operation.

Local Prostitution Operations

While the text mentions escort services operating in West Islip (both independent and through agencies), the core criminal events involve the bust of the organized ring involving the cop, teacher, and mob associate.
