Prostitute Exposes Herself to Passing Motorists

GREAT MILLS - 5/12/2009

Printer friendly

On May 10, at 9:25 a.m., Deputies responded to the area of Great Mills Road and Lexwood Drive after a citizen reported a female subject exposing herself to passing motorist on Great Mills Road.

Dfc. J. Maletto arrived on the scene and observed Sheila C. Vernon, 39 of no fixed address, standing in the roadway soliciting the operator of a motor vehicle, who she had stepped in front of, for sexual acts and exposing her breasts.

Vernon was placed under arrest, charged with prostitution, two counts of indecent exposure and incarcerated in the Detention Center pending an appearance before the District Court Commissioner.

She evidently doesn't like to have her picture taken. Must be some throw back from her childhood. Maybe her parents made her dress up in those little frilly dresses and curl her hair.

I thought she was just wishing John a Happy Mothers Day? You're right Jack - She does appear to be one of the better looking hookers on Great Mills Road. John must be holding the other pictures for State's evidence?

That is a classic picture! And look, she even has her left finger ready to go incase she has an itch in the other eye! What a hot piece of prostitute!

There but for the Grace of God....
I, myself, living in the Park see these women on a daily basis. True, there are always other jobs that they get, but instead they choose a lifestyle that I am sure is nothing to be proud of or anything to write home about. Everyone has a story, and most times we don't know what that story is. I can not imagine what would drive someone to do this (I'm guessing drugs) but she is not the first, nor will she be the last to degrade herself on the side of Great Mills Road. I have mixed reactions to this story. On one hand I feel sorry for her, and perhaps her life that led her to make these choices. On the other hand, I feel that it's just plain nasty and do not want to explain to my Grandsons what that "crazy" lady is doing on the side of the road. I know that these women get arrested, processed and then released. How about a mandatory self esteem class and maybe some real job training? In the end, I guess I don't care what she or any of the other "ladies" (term used VERY loosely here) choose to do for their career, but do it behind closed doors. I don't want to have to see it every time I drive down town. Just my opinion.

Reply to Wisdomfirst: I'm sorry...........
But last time I checked, prostitution was ILLEGAL. There's absolutely no excuse.

Reply to Wisdomfirst: seriously
you feel sorry? I'm sorry too. Sorry that we have to put up with her bs. Why don't you go out and give her a hug. Invite her over for dinner and y'all can try on clothes. Take her shopping for that matter and get her one of those frilly dresses the other person was talkin about. I'm sick and tired of hearing how we should coddle these people. Handouts are just taken advantage of. Enough is enough.

for the choice that this woman made. She is an adult, may not act like one but in chronological age, she appears to be well over 21. Convent? Do you really think she was in a convent? Smoking and soliciting for prostitution does not come under the activites in a convent! Well, I dont think they do but then I was never in a convent. Were you?

Reply to Lani_GirL: Down and Out
It is scary to think you worked in a doctor's office due to the fact of confidentiality. I feel really bad for this woman due to the fact she ticked/flicked off a reporter who happened to be there and now she has been posted for all to see no shoes and all. I do not approve of this type of work she does, I cannot judge her however that is not my place. My question is--was there nothing better to report on this day? Her aggressive behavior is a reflection of the struggle she carries. You speak with anyone on the street they will tell you they did not see themselves in this position growing up the did not aspire to become a escort. Life is to hard for all right now to be judging did anyone on here think what if this was a family member would you want the humiliation of this I am sure this woman has relatives of some type in this area.

Reply to Lani_GirL: Are you kidding me all4swva?
Did I say a name? Did I say what doc office? Do you even know my name? No you dont..so therefore I did not break any confidentiality rule. That comment was for AWARNESS..and to show that people will risk giving another person AIDS just for a quick buck, cuz you know shes not charging much! It annoys me that people are on here feeling sorry for her..shes obviously CRAZY to be out at 9 am flashing ppl. If she was drivin to prostitution she can drive herself to get a job..prostitues are who they are becuase its easy money..simple as that..Yea she might of had a hard life..and so that justifies her flashing ppl and families?? Are you stupid? Or are you a protitue too..

Lani_GirL	5/12/2009 at 10:51 AM
9-5??
And did anyone else see that it was at 9:25am??? I didnt know prostitution could be a 9-5!!! WOW.

Drama queen first...I mean Lani
I sure hope Lani is your real name and if in fact you really did work for a doctors office (which I am thinking you may have made up to encourage drama about the aids issue.) If it is your real name I sincerely hope someone recognizes it from a Lani working in a doctors office. This would be grounds for legal action to be taken. You my dear broke the law. If this is just your way of getting attention...you lonely mean spirited person you. Prostitute: Illegal...period. Why would the person on here feel sorry for her. You are selling your body...in this day and age with the diseases and death sentence it will give you...why? Drugs? Oh, great excuse. Making your parents proud...even better. You have children...hmm...need to feed them? Get your lazy a&* out and wait on tables...work at McDonalds...oh no wait...don't tell me...it doesn't pay what this does? Drugs are more important then your children? Feel sorry for her? You've got to be kidding me!! Feel sorry for her innocent children and heaven forbid if they saw this picture and their friends recognize her from whenever. She deserves no excuse...she also does not deserve to ever get her children back.

Reply to lovhismom: Aha, someones panties are in a bunch!
No actually, Lani is not my name..thanks for trying to do some dective work though. A for effort. I did not break the law actully..i kno the rules quite well. Doctors talk about stories to other patients so they learn from it..but they do not say names or information. Which I did not either. All I said was that I saw a protitute that I reconized and she has AIDS, its sad..and thats it.. no names, no information, nothing!! So thanks for trying..I really dont see why your panties r in a bunch..

concerned777	5/13/2009 at 2:04 AM
oh wow
She has been doing this for years and years. She's been picked up NUMEROUS times and just let go. Getting arrested has probably become a joke to her I'm sure. She has been in and out of rehab only to start smoking crack AGAIN and AGAIN. She had a baby years ago that was a crack baby and died. She has 2 other kids that don't even claim her, and if they did...they would know exactly where to find her on great mills road. She did not grow up in foster care all of her life, she was offered help by family AND extended family MANY MANY times. She has been given up on, she is a lost cause. I don't feel sorry for her. You are all paying for her to continue her rehab stunts when the homeless shelters kick her out and she has no where else to go. She is a disgusting piece of trash and I feel no pity for her AT ALL. As for the girl in the doctors office giving away confidential information, you don't need it. You have a picture of the spreader of the disease right here in front of you.

This is sad on so many levels ...
I mean, I understand where some people are coming from when they look at Sheila's criminal record and history of prostitution and substance abuse, and then say she's beyond hope. And it's true that this woman is responsible for the choices she's made, and that you can't help someone who doesn't want to change self-destructive habits. At the same time, Ms. Vernon is still a person, a human being, and she must have some good qualities about her. Maybe this is naive, but my wish for today is that she will - sometime soon - begin to care enough about herself to find the strength to break the cycle of addiction to the hard drugs and selling her body to pay for them. At 39, Sheila is fast approaching a turning point in her life. May she realize that the downside of 40 can still be good if she turns things around, but her current path is an unhappy one that can only lead to an early grave ... and misery for others along the way. A friend of mine has done just that to seek a better future. Although she was never a prostitute, she was hooked on heroin for several years but is now staying sober to comply with her terms of probation, and she is trying to get healthy and normal again. May Ms. Vernon choose to do the same.

Let her live her life
I've known Sheila since 2000. She has had her ups and downs, but you can't blame her for trying to do the right thing. Most businesses in Lexington Park and surrounding areas will not hire her for extensive criminal background. I used to see her once a week and take her to lunch. She is a really sweet girl once you get past the bad gossip. I don't know why people have a stigma towards those that have a active sex life. Just quit whining and let her live her life the way she wants too.

Reply to Jimmy30: Can't blame her?
I understand that you're her friend but having an active sex life and selling yourself to complete strangers for drug money are two completely different things. She was exposing herself on the road at 9:25 in the morning. If she wants to degrade herself, fine. But don't expose families with children who might be driving down the road. She brought all this "gossip" on herself.

Philimus	5/19/2009 at 12:35 PM
Reply to Jimmy30: You make a good point, Jimmy ...
... although I would say there is a difference between "having an active sex life" and "standing in the roadway soliciting the operator of a motor vehicle ... for sexual acts and exposing her breasts," Sheila still deserves some compassion. I bet many of the people who are so quick to judge her would be outraged to hear the same sort of mean-spirited gossip being spread about them. Most of us don't know what events in Sheila's life brought her to this pass, but she deserves a little understanding and to be treated with simple human decency in any event. I hope you will continue to be her friend and take her to lunch sometimes. May she find the courage to change and get the help she needs to see better days ahead.

Lani: Needing to change her panties
Lani, By stating, "I know for a fact at least one of them has AIDS becuase she use to come to the doc office I worked at. So beware" you are still wrong. Factual information with or without a name can still get you in trouble my dear. Let the doctors office figure it out and my panties may be in a bunch...but you will need to have a fresh pair on that day...I assure you. Grow up...and learn not to discuss your former job in a doctors office. NO ONE wants to hear you share personal/confidential information about ANYONES private records. When people go to the doctors they do not want to think their recors are being discussed...name or no name. Let me put it to you in a way you will understand, "KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT WORK INFORMATION." This is not the place to brag about the fact that you are not mature enough to work in a doctors office.

If you are indeed a lesbian, you cannot be a Christian!! The best place she can be is in prison to keep our public safe from the spread of AIDS, via, her clients. Also there, the one whom you have a crush on will have a dry place to stay and meals to eat, which I'm not a fan of because everyone who is a taxpayer has to pay for it.

As someone who has actually been in contact with Sheila and learned something about her, I've got to say Rachael seems more on the mark than you. Apparently, for all of your intelligence, you have never learned compassion or understanding of others. Go ahead and accuse me of wanting to sleep with her because I can see that is the way your mind works. But the truth is that you are the one with more attitude than is good for you. "If you are indeed a lesbian, you cannot be a Christian!" WTF are you talking about? What gives you the right to judge Rachael or Sheila or anyone else? I've seen your kind all of my life and I must say that you disgust and sicken me. Say whatever you wish about me but know right now that I don't give a damn what you think and will not bother to reply to your self-righteous crap.

As for you Spectator, I guess if I am not a judgemental bigot , I can't be a christian either, lol oh my ....what a silly man you are, I ask our Lord to have mercy on people like you. I hope you learn more about what a Christian is someday. In the New Testement there are words and acts that Jesus did and He asked his followers to do the same. Not once have I read of Him reacting to people as you have. My sexual orientation is noones business. But if you really are interested I am not sexually active, which has absolutely nothing to do with poor Sheila or the garbage you have spewed out.

Saw her on the street today for the first time in months near big lots with other slime, she has gained some weight compared to the stick body in the photo. Obviously eating good and was not doing her drugs and whatever, jail is good for the body I guess.

WE NEED TO KEEP FOCUS ON THE TOPIC STOP BULLY EACH OTHER ON HERE
The problem is her she got to stop being a slave to the drug. It is up to her the whole world is in h hand.She has to want to bet this and put a end to this and seek God in your life or who ever you look up to and love your self.If you really think about it time and effort she seek in finding and buying the drugs just think how much money be adding up.Well this lady going end up dead seems she lost the trust in loving her self.Please people stop cutting each other down when we ask comment on the story. Then both parties get all work up bullying each others to get the last word please do not stress your self keep focus on the story on hand. And you do not need any degrees here to figure this story out. And if this lady has hiv and spreading it then local Police Dept and Health Dept. needs to used some common sense here. And to people buying or using her services then you are the risk taker here. But it her seek the help she needs if she wants it. There is drugs everyway you have to stay in charge of your life.
