Three people including a former police officer pleaded guilty to operating Long Island brothels that facilitated a prostitution ring.
Frank Saggio, 61, “led a criminal enterprise that profited from the systematic promotion of prostitution at two locations in Suffolk County from to 2019 to 2024,” according to Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney’s office.
Former Suffolk County cop George Trimigliozzi, 56, and Dana Ciardullo — Saggio’s 33-year-old girlfriend — confessed to managing houses of ill repute for Saggio’s booming business, officials said.
Prosecutors said Saggio required sex workers to pay a $6,000 monthly fee to do business at one location in Holbrook managed by George Trimigliozzi, who was an 18-year veteran of the Suffolk County Police Department before
