The sister of pop star Mariah Carey has been arrested on prostitution charges in upstate New York.
Police tell the Daily Freeman of Kingston that 55-year-old Alison Carey was arrested in Saugerties on Friday following an investigation at a hotel. Police say she solicited money in exchange for sex from an undercover police officer.
Police describe Carey as a transient, and say she advertised her services online. Saugerties Police Chief Joseph Sinagra tells the newspaper that she identified herself as the performer’s sister when she was arrested.
Carey is due in Saugerties Town Court on Aug. 30.
It wasn’t immediately clear if she had an attorney who could comment on the charges.

Her famous and rich sister could set up this pitiful woman with a house free and clear and get her ongoing counseling. The fact she has not done that speaks volumes about her famous and rich sister.
Freda says
How do you know she hasn’t tried to help her. Don’t b so quick to judge.

I wonder if she has a drug problem

Well uhm, … duh!!!

I agree. Shows what a phony Mariah Carey is. She tries to flaunt her wealth in front of others, wearing long gowns even on basic outings with her children. Yet, her own sister is suffering and she could care less. Nice family values there Mariah.
Dr.X says
All the millions that Mariah Carey and her husband have and they can’t help her sister out. Even to put her up in a middle-class house with all her bills paid would be a drop in the bucket compared to the fortune that those two have. This is typical of all liberals. They want to spend our money not theirs. Pathetic.

I find this story so sad she has a sister who could be a savior to help this women surely the women has problems and needs medical help and a pop star that has the means and the money to help her blood is no where to be found to help her sister or at least try to help her out of her despair never liked cary she is so self as Absorbed and thinks she is so above others she has been using men as stepping stones she finally got a rich one they own his and hers yachts and her princess life style has no room in poor past in NJ
Freda says
How do you know if she hasn’t help. Don’t condemn before you get both sides of story.
Sandy says
MC is a slimy slug just like most of those rich, liberals in Hollywood who think they can do and say whatever they want. Oh wait they must have learned from the best…Hillary, I’m a scumbag pig, Clinton!

Do not set in judgement. Just don’t. There is no evidence in that story that tells you all anything about what this poor sole is about. Her sister is bucks up and you don’t know if or how she has tried to help. What dose this poor sole do but point out that she has a connection to Mariah just looking to get out of being busted. From the photo it looks like she needs help but first she has to tell herself she is ready to dry out and rejoin the family. She may have grown kids too that have tried to help, so until you know more about what is going on in that family, don’t, just don’t set in judgement. OK?
David w Martin says
Hello,
For you People saying , how do you know she didn’t try helping her , Look at her, does she look like someone has helped her ? Hell no !
Justin W says
I wonder how many people had sex with her because she was Mariah’s sister. She needs to find a more respectable way to make money.
Buck says
OK, I’m not a big Miriah Carey fan and don’t guess I ever will be but there’s only one place where I read that we should help our brethren and that’s in the Bible. I don’t know if MC professes Christianity or not but it is her choice to help her sister or not. She may have tried, as some have suggested and she may not have tried. In the end it’s her choice. She apparently has talent and has worked hard to develope a following of fans and many, many hit records. I’ll not cut her down or even insinuate that she hasn’t tried to help her sister. Her sister needs to take the first step and I can’t say that she has or not. Fame is fickle and to lose that fame because others jump to conclusions just to bring down a talented artist, well, its just not right. Let the family handle the problem not some reporter out to make a name for themselves at someone else’s expense.

I wouldn’t pay nuttin for that. Must be working the lower pay scale!!!!!

It’s possible ;maybe’ Mariah tried to help her sister man times and the sister just went back doing what she does. I have a brother we call ‘the bad apple’ or ‘the bad seed’ out of 7 kids in the family. I tried helping him for 10 years and gave up. He didn’t want to change and all he was is a ‘user’ and pshycopath. 2 therpist told me he was a pschycopath. So I along with all my other brother and sister left him alone. The get Worst as they get older too. You cAN’T DO it For them. They have to WANT to help themselves.
If I were Mariah, I would make a statement in refernce to this so people CAN know the truth. Then we will know if Mariah is greedy OR did she try to help her.
