San Francisco Woman Rents Airbnb Near Detroit To Meet Teen, Police Say

SAN FRANCISCO — A San Francisco woman was arrested this week after police said she flew to Detroit and rented an Airbnb in a nearby suburb to meet with a teen.

Stephanie Sin, 32, rented an Airbnb in Royal, Oak, Michigan, authorities said, according to media outlets. She ordered an Uber to the home of a 15-year-old in nearby Novi to pick him up, authorities said. The teen told his parents when the ride arrived, and they called police.

Officials suspect she talked to the teen for more than a year.

Online court records showed she was booked into the Oakland County jail Monday night on sex offense charges and using a computer in commission of a crime.

Novi police said Sin met the boy on an app when he was 14, WJBK-TV reported. Their talks escalated from the app to text messages and became increasingly more explicit, police said.

Police told WJBK that Sin did not appear surprised when she was arrested.
