SARASOTA COUNTY, FL. - The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office says she was offering "golf lessons" on Craigslist, but prostitution was really the name of her game.
According to a Sarasota Sheriff's report, last August during a sting operation of Internet-based prostitution being advertised on Craigslist and other websites, undercover detectives met with 36-year-old Melanie Kozik.
Kozik claimed to be an escort service owner -- relating her experience to working in lingerie shops that had been closed down because of prostitution activity -- which she admitted to participating in, according to a report.
Kozik says she earns about $1,500 a week disguising her golf lessons for prostitution.
Days later, Kozik was setup by another undercover detective that used coded conversation "golf lessons" -- to attempt to get sexual services for money -- and went to an apartment where the prostitution takes place.
Kozik was not arrested at the time pending further investigation. She was however taken into custody early Tuesday morning by deputies.
Kozik is charged with Offer to Engage in Prostitution and Maintaining a Place for the Purpose of Prostitution.
She has bonded out of the Sarasota County Jail.
