The ongoing recession is attracting more out-of-town prostitutes to Glendale and Burbank, which reportedly produce higher-paying clients in safer environments, authorities said.

The trend is even hitting high-priced hotels, like the Hilton Glendale, which have been the target of several recent prostitution stings. Four women were arrested on prostitution charges in an undercover sting at the Hilton in March.

Women have come from as far away as Michigan, said Glendale Police Sgt. Scott Johnstone.

Despite Glendale’s reputation for higher-paying clients, prostitutes are earning $200 to $250 for sex, which is nearly $100 less than what they would have made before the recession, Det. Matthew Prokosch said.

“Customers aren’t really willing to pay anymore because of the economy,” he said.
