A University City woman, who at one time allegedly worked as a call girl for convicted madame Karen Wilkening, was sentenced Tuesday to 120 days in jail for being an accessory to pandering.

Helene Klarissa Meuller-Beilschmidt was sentenced by Municipal Judge Frank A. Brown, who also ordered three years’ probation and a $10,000 fine.

Meuller-Beilschmidt, 33, pleaded no contest Oct. 17 to the accessory charge in a plea-bargain agreement that dropped two other charges of pandering.

Deputy Dist. Atty. Bonnie Dumanis told Brown that Meuller-Beilschmidt controlled a “sophisticated operation,” a charge that was denied by her attorney, Eugene Iredale.

Dumanis said Meuller-Beilschmidt was “not being singled out,” and that police are stepping up vice squad investigations in an attempt to curtail prostitution.

Meuller-Beilschmidt was arrested June 28 after referring a man to another woman who was working as a prostitute, investigators said. There was no evidence Meuller-Beilschmidt had recently worked as a prostitute.

Acknowledging that he was giving a “lenient” sentence, Brown said the “heart-wrenching data of her childhood” proved that Meuller-Beilschmidt had been a victim throughout her life.
