Three college students have been arrested on prostitution charges during an undercover sting operation at a Florida hotel, authorities have said.

Acacia Jerico Friedman, 23, and Maury Noun, 21, of the University of Miami, and Samara Charlotin, 19, of Florida International University, negotiated a $8,000 prostitution deal with an undercover cop, CBS reported.

Noun allegedly acted as the women's pimp and met with the officer at a restaurant at the Hotel Colonnade in Coral Gables. The two agreed Noun would receive $3,000 and sex with the girls would cost $5,000.

After closing the deal, the 21-year-old then allegedly brought the two girls into the room and the officer paid them. He then signaled for police to arrest the three students.

The trio were each charged on numerous prostitution charges and jailed. They have since been released on bond.

Noun had been charged with deriving support from prostitution, aiding or abetting prostitution and directing another to prostitution.

Charlotin was charged with engaging in prostitution and for possession of marijuana and Oxycodone. Friedman was charged with engaging in prostitution.

Charlotin posted $9,000 bail and appeared in court with a public defender. She was seen leaving the courthouse covering her face, NBC Miami reported.

Judge Mindy Glazer told the 19-year-old to find a 'new line of employment.'

'Maybe it is a good thing you got arrested. Maybe you will change your way… lead a new path. Focus on school. You’ll do well,' she added.

Charlotin is majoring in biology and minoring in criminal justice.
