They met her in-person at the Westin Convention Center hotel, where she allegedly agreed to sex for money, the paperwork said.
Police arrested her and Lloyd, her alleged driver after he entered the hotel to check on her.
Authorities said their arrests were part on an Internet prostitution sting that involved several police agencies and the FBI. None of the agencies would comment Friday.
Paperwork showed that detectives also arrested Sade Johnson at the hotel, and in a third, separate sting, they arrested Danasia McNeal and her alleged driver, Ahmadasia Witherspoon.
In all three cases, the women offered sex in exchange for $300, according to police paperwork.
All five were lodged at the Allegheny County Jail on charges ranging from prostitution to conspiracy.
