FLORENCE COUNTY, SC (WMBF) – Four women were arrested for prostitution by Florence County Sheriff's deputies Wednesday night after posting explicit photographs of themselves on a website and meeting with investigators.

Specially-trained investigators with the sheriff's office arrested the four women during a prostitution operation on March 20 in Florence County, according to a news release.

Investigators say the women posted sexually explicit photos on a website to solicit potential clients. The investigators posed as potential clients and arranged for the exchange of sex acts for money, then made the arrests at hotel located near the intersection of U.S. Highway 52 and Interstate 95.

The four women are: 30-year-old Brandy Baskins, 18-year-old Kristen Colville, 28-year-old Shacolby Carter, and 25-year-old Rainbow Climer. All women were from either Charlotte or Lillington, North Carolina, and all four were charged with prostitution, first offense.
