Years ago, I was talking to a hooker who claimed she used to do tricks with Mariah Carey and that’s how Carey got her contacts in the music business. I thought that story might have been bullshit. But now…

New York- Singer Mariah Carey’s 43-year-old sister has been arrested a second time for prostitution on Long Island, N.Y.

Suffolk County police said they picked Alison Carey up after she solicited an undercover officer at a marina on June 13. “She offered to engage in sexual conduct for $250 in cash,” a police source told the New York Post.

Explaining the long lag time between Carey’s arrest and the public release of the news, another source said, “We don’t ask for the family tree when someone is put under arrest for prostitution.”

Alison Carey was previously arrested in April at her home. She pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was fined $200 June 2.

The latest charge carries a maximum of three months in jail.

Carey is HIV-positive and has lost custody of both of her children. She is no longer close with her family or celebrity sister, the Post said.
