A woman was arrested in Kissimmee on Thursday after police said she sold an 88-year-old man oral sex, and then returned a month later to violently rob him after he didn't pay up.

Kissimmee police were called to the Elizabeth Avenue home of the elderly victim on March 11. The man told officers that he had been attacked and robbed by a woman later identified as 41-year-old Tanya Ross.

According to police reports, Ross forced her way into the victim's home, knocked a phone out of his hand when he tried to call 911, and then grabbed him by the throat and robbed him.

The man said he sprayed Ross with pepper spray, and she fled on foot. Officers reported damage to his front door and the screen door leading to his patio.

Police said the victim explained that he met Ross in mid-February, when he picked her up while he was driving home. The pair negotiated a deal for oral sex, which she performed at his home, police reports state.

Police said the man claimed Ross returned to his home twice since — forcing her way in both times and stealing cash. He only called police after the March 11 incident.

Investigators interviewed Ross, who they said admitted to selling the elderly man sex. She said he agreed to pay $100, but reneged after the service was rendered, reports state.

Ross said she grabbed $50 from his pocket and demanded to be driven home, reports state. According to police, she said she returned on March 11 to collect the remaining cash she was owed.

Police said the woman claimed the elderly man waved "a large gun" and hit her in the head with a metal pipe during the encounter, but she had no visible injuries.

Reports show the victim later received a letter from Ross, offering to repay his money, apologizing and asking him not to press charges against her.

Police arrested Ross on Thursday on several charges, including home invasion/robbery, grand theft from a residence, battery on a person 65 years of age or older and tampering with a victim in a first degree felony.

Records show neither Ross nor the victim are facing prostitution charges. The Sentinel is not identifying the victim because he has not been charged with a crime.
