Deltona woman allegedly employed teen in prostitution business

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office and two other agencies arrested a woman they said ran a prostitution business out of her Deltona home on Blaine Circle.

According to reports, Devin Miller, 22, advertised the services online.

Investigators said the men would meet Miller at her house, and either pay to have sex acts performed by Miller, or sometimes, a 16-year-old girl.

Reports said a 17-year-old girl was also involved in the business, but it’s not believed she performed any sex acts.

The 17-year-old told investigators she was initially going to live at Miller's house in exchange for cleaning the place and taking care of a 2-year-old girl, who sometimes stayed at the residence.

Miller allegedly explained to the two girls tthat she earned money by having sex with men and if she didn't want to have sex with any of them, she robbed them.

Reports stated Miller told the girls that she made thousands of dollars a week with about five customers a day and that she asked if the girls wanted to make money doing the same thing.

She then created online advertisements for them, according to reports.

Miller appeared before a judge on Friday.

She was already out on bond for burglary and grand theft charges back in February, and now she is being held on a $25,000 bond for the charges regarding her alleged prostitution ring.

Investigators were alerted to the prostitution through tips and traced Miller through the classified ads she allegedly posted online.
