Fall River Woman Pleads Guilty To Prostitution-Related Charges

A Fall River woman is going to jail after pleading guilty to charges of armed robbery, larceny, deriving support by prostitution and and trafficking persons for sexual servitude.

Dartmouth Public Information Officer Det. Kyle Costa says 23 year old Esmeralda Lima was running a prostitution ring out of a Dartmouth Motel.  She entered the guilty pleas last month in connection with two separate prostitution-related incidents that took place in Dartmouth in March 2015.

She was sentenced to 2 1/2 years at the House of Correction, plus three years probation after her release.
