Mariah Carey’s estranged older sister, Alison Carey, was arrested on a prostitution charge in Saugerties, New York, on Friday, August 26, according to reports.

Alison, 55, was arrested after she solicited money from an undercover Saugerties police officer, who was posing as a customer, in exchange for sexual favors, The Daily Freeman reported.
