Las Vegas Judge Dead By Suicide, Years After Urging Cops To Investigate Possible Child Sex Prostitution Ring That Tried To Recruit Her Daughter
Former Las Vegas justice of the peace Melanie Andress-Tobiasson, 55, has died by suicide after a year of resigning from her position to settle an ethics probe. The former judge investigated an alleged prostitution ring that tried to recruit her teenage daughter.
Years ago, Las Vegas justice of the peace Melanie Andress-Tobiasson conducted a personal investigation into a hip-hop clothing store her daughter started working at in 2015. She also looked into a 2016 double homicide believed to involve her child's acquaintance. The judge informed 8 News Now that she was trying to save her daughter from people reportedly involved in a child sex prostitution ring. Andress-Tobiasson also alleged that vice cops and detectives slept with prostitutes, thus leading her to conduct her own investigations.
