SACO — Saco police arrested three people on charges of kidnapping after a woman reported being held against her will and being forced to be a prostitute.
Two women and a man are being held on $100,000 bail in York County Jail. Police say they are exploring charges of aggravated promotion of prostitution.
Saco police were called to the Sunrise Motel at 4 a.m. Monday after receiving a call about a man and a woman fighting in an adjoining room.
Police found eight to 10 people in the room and called for backup from Old Orchard Beach police.
A 26-year-old woman told police she was being held against her will and forced into prostitution by people she had met while staying at a shelter in Portland, police said. Police obtained a search warrant for the room and a 2001 BMW sport utility vehicle, seizing records, cellular telephones, computers and cash. Police impounded the car.
Police charged Lydia Ross Sholl, 26, of South Portland, Tiana Clark, 27, of Medford, Mass., and Wayne Hick of Scarborough with kidnapping.
