GRETNA (AP) — A Gretna couple has been arrested and booked with pandering for allegedly turning their home into a brothel.

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office says 39-year-old Bethin Benites-Miranda, and her boyfriend, 27-year-old Juan Gonzalez, are accused of arranging prostitution dates with a third woman who was also arrested following an undercover investigation by the sheriff’s Vice Squad.

The Times-Picayune reports (http://bit.ly/QnZrKR ) the investigation began after the Sheriff’s Office received a Crimestoppers tip about alleged prostitution connected to a certain telephone number.

Benites-Miranda and Gonzales were booked with pandering and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile because the woman’s 6-year-old daughter lived in the home. Both were held without bond.

Thirty-two-year-old Yeni Texis, the alleged prostitute, was booked with prostitution and crimes against nature. She was freed after posting $1,000 bond.
