For four[1] to seven[5] years, Turbiville operated what may have been the largest prostitution ring in Houston. Turbiville had dozens of employees, including 30 prostitutes,[2] and 700[2] to 1500[4] male and female[6] clients. According to Houston attorney Terry Yates, "If there's a trial or some contested issue those names are likely to become public."[6] According to Harris County Assistant District Attorney Donna Hawkins, the clients may be questioned and charged.[7] Her operation catered to "high rollers" and "big players" and screened prospective clients[4] with P411, a prostitution screening service to detect law enforcement.[2] Her clientele included doctors, lawyers, professional athletes,[4] and television personalities.[5] Clients paid up to $350[8] per hour, $250 of which prostitutes kept.[6]
The ring operated out of the 9900 Memorial Apartments, a 706 unit luxury apartment complex,[9] and out of Uptown District–area hotels.[4] Turbiville operated under the cover of Turbiville LLC, a supposed international investment company,[10] Logic Moving Solutions LLC, Wazala.com LLC, and Alquima Properties.[2]
Houston Police Department Sergeant Mark Kilty labeled her "the Heidi Fleiss of Houston" and said that "[s]he probably had the biggest escort service in Houston."[4] According to a prostitute who formerly worked for her, Turbiville operated "the largest prostitution escort service operating in the city of Houston."[5]
Arrestedit
HPD arrested Turbiville on March 10, 2009.[4] They seized two safes containing "a substantial amount" of cash, gold, and silver, a Lexus sedan, a Chevrolet SUV, a pistol, and several computers.[4] HPD is currently performing computer forensics on them in order to build a list of clients.[4] Police seized business records, condoms, and lubricants from the apartment.[5]
