A Plainville mother is accused of posting an ad online offering sexual services.

Police said Jennifer Roy, 34, put a posting on the Web site craigslist.com advertising her services.

Undercover officers posed as a John for two months, exchanging e-mails with Roy, according to police.

"Sex was offered online for money, it was clear what was going to take place," Plainville Police Capt. Peter Costanzo said.

The officer wore a wire tap when he went to Roy's Bartlet Street home on Saturday, police said.

Police said when the officer told Roy how much money he had, she said it would be enough for an hour of sex.

Roy was taken in to police custody and officer said that her baby was found inside the home.

"When the officer went in, he found the 17-month-old baby in the room next door," Costanzo said.

Police said Roy admitted to working as a prostitute for the past year.

Connecticut Department of Children and Families officials wouldn't comment on whether the child had been removed from the home.
