•  Police charged two Cary teenagers and a 41-year-old Raleigh man in a prostitution incident, according to police reports. Three Cary police officers arrived at the Red Roof Inn at 1800 Walnut St. just after midnight on Aug. 14 to follow up on a tip from a night clerk, according to reports. When the officers knocked on the room door, they found Dharmender Rai, 41, with Briana Saliani, 18, of 103 Beasley Court, and Brooklyn Sekel, 17, of 102 McIintosh Court, police reports state.

Upon questioning, the suspects admitted that Rai had solicited prostitution from Saliani and Sekel, according to police reports; police also found lubrication, lingerie and condoms at the scene, reports state. The Cary Police Department cited the teens for prostitution and Rai, of 3320 Queensland Road, for solicitation of prostitution.

Gayle Saliani, a woman related to Briana Saliani, said that the police report contained “incorrect information” but declined to give further details before hanging up during a phone interview. Rai referred comment to his attorney, who couldn’t be reached for comment. Neither Salek nor her family could be reached for comment.

The accused women are high school students, according to police reports; the reports don’t list an employer for Rai. All three are set for an Oct. 9 court date for the misdemeanor charges. Briana Saliani also has a pending charge that she drove while impaired earlier this summer.
