The escort is known in the criminal underworld as the 'Queen of Goodnight Cinderella', according to Rio's Special Police Station for Tourist Support.
'Goodnight Cinderella' is local slang for Rohypnol, GHB, or any date-rape drug that renders victims vulnerable to assault or robbery.
The 23-year-old is suspected of drugging, robbing, and beating a Frenchman in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
But this isn't the first time, with Sitas reportedly having dozens of entries for this kind of scam on her criminal record.
