The Sugarloaf Country Club Madames

A Closer Look at One of Metro Atlanta's Biggest Prostitution Busts

In a scandal reminiscent of the Heidi Fleiss debauchery of the early 1990's, Gwinnett residents Lisa Ann Taylor, 42, and Nicole Probert, 30, were escorted away by policemen on January 3, 2007, on charges of prostitution. Talk of the arrest began to buzz shortly after the arrest for a few reasons:

1) The bust took place in one of metro Atlanta's most tony communities, the exclusive Sugarloaf Country Club.

2) One of the women charged is also known as the infamous "Melissa Wolf", a one-time adult movie star and Penthouse Pet.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

News of the alleged illegal activities broke shortly after a tip from concerned citizens who remarked on the number of comings and goings from Taylor's sprawling 4,000+ square foot mansion. The women, who presented themselves as real-estate agents, were investigated. However, reports resulted in no evidence linking their activities to real estate. As a matter of fact, further accounts from nearby neighbors revealed complaints of vulgar behavior and extremely noisy parties. Other reports indicated that both women (who each had separate properties) had a stream of male visitors who would only remain for short periods of time.

ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES

Another reason for the high profile arrest was due in part to the drug charges which are also pending against the two. According to officials, both Taylor and Probert were charged with conspiracy to possess cocaine. These charges follow accusations that the pair sold the drugs at their frequent parties.

On January 16, 2007, search warrants were issued for residences belonging to Taylor and Probert, respectively. The searches conducted by police, however, are being aimed at internet activity. It is claimed that Lisa Ann Taylor and Nicole Probert set and confirmed their "appointments" online via Taylor's adult website. Officials are also reviewing the logs which list the visitors to the Sugarloaf Country Club property. The country club's Homeowner's Association has advised police that they are ready and willing to cooperate with authorities in any way requested.
