Mariah Carey's 55 year old sister arrested on prostitution charge.

55-year-old Alison A. Carey was arrested in upstate New York on a prostitution charge Friday after reports say she was soliciting money in exchange for sexual favors from an undercover police officer posing as a client.

According to the Mercury News, Saugerties police had being conducting an undercover investigation to see if she had been prostituting out of a town of Saugerties hotel.

Police are urging anyone who may have had sexual contact with the Pop diva’s sister should see a doctor due to her possibly being HIV positive.


Saugerties Police Chief Joseph Sinagra said when she was arrested Carey identified herself as the sister of the performer, who was once included on Forbes' list of the 20 richest women in entertainment.

Sinagra said an internet search of the two women appeared to confirmed the claim.

Sinagra said Carey, whom police described as transient, was advertising her services on the Internet, and according to her posting, had been working out of the hotel for about a week.

Carey was arraigned in Saugerties Town Court and sent to the Ulster County Jail in lieu of $1,000 bail. She is due in Saugerties Town Court on Tuesday.
