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.

Cops say she would target exclusively foreign tourists.
The escort is estimated to have stolen over £13,000 worth of goods.
Sitas was allegedly accompanied by two women when she approached her victim in the Lapa neighbourhood.
The Frenchman said they talked and drank before going to Copacabana, where they continued to drink, before heading back to the city centre.

He went on to explain that at some point during the night, he lost consciousness.
But when he woke up, he was in A&E with multiple injuries.

The victim was later transferred to a larger facility.
Sitas stole more than £6,680 from him, according to police chief Patrícia Alemany.
She said: 'She carefully picks her foreign victims.
"In this case, she drugged the French tourist and stole his phone and bank card.
'She made withdrawals totalling over 50,000 reais, and he was ultimately assaulted.
'Francini has countless cases of this type of crime and is known in the criminal underworld as the 'Queen of Goodnight, Cinderella'.
'With her arrest, we hope to see a drop in this kind of crime, since multiple victims have identified her.'
Francini is the mother of a two-year-old boy, according to her social media.
She was caught at Rio's Pedra do Sal landmark with a vial of the sedative drug clonazepam.
'She was at the tourist spot looking for a new victim,' said the police chief.

Baby shower erupted into brawl when dart legend Jocky Wilson's niece ripped out gran-to-be's hair – but she avoids jail
A BABY shower erupted into a savage brawl when dart legend Jocky Wilson's niece ripped out the gran-to-be's hair. Mum-to-be Chantelle Wilson was celebrating the imminent arrival of her baby daughter with partner Ben Ritchie the bash spiralled into a punch-up. 6 Chardonnay Wilson and mum Sarah were involved in a brawl at a baby shower 6 Chantelle Wilson was celebrating the imminent arrival of her baby when the drama ensued Credit: Facebook 6 The family are related to darts champ Jocky Wilson Credit: Getty Her mum Sarah Wilson, 45, attacked Pamela Ritchie - the dad-to-be's mum - by pulling her hair and punching her. Chantelle's sister Chardonnay Wilson, 20, lashed out at Ben's grandmother, who later claimed her feeding tube was removed. Sarah Wilson and daughter Chardonnay are the niece and great-niece of late World Professional Darts Championship winner Jocky Wilson. But Sarah avoided jail after pleading guilty to assault and was instead ordered to pay £500 compensation to the victim. Read more news Her daughter was given an absolute discharge, which in Scottish law means the offence will not go on her record despite a conviction. It came after her solicitor claimed a conviction would end Chardonnay's career as a carer. Dunfermline Sheriff Court heard the two families had gathered at Lochore Miners' Welfare Social Club in Fife on May 18 last year. At first, everyone seemed to be getting on "fine" but the mood turned sour following a game of "Would Mummy Rather". Most read in Darts One question was asked about whether Chantelle would rather "put a bottle on for the baby or open a bottle of wine'. The court heard someone from dad-to-be Ben's family then yelled out she would open the wine , which caused Chantelle to become "upset". Chardonnay Wilson said her mum Sarah and Ben's mum Pamela were 'arguing back and forward'. She added: 'My mum told her they could speak any other day but not to spoil the occasion." But the court heard more rowing broke out during a game of "Baby Bingo" after apparent sexual comments were heard. A punch up then unfolded outside the venue after an alleged abusive remark was aimed at the Wilsons. Sheriff Susan Duff said: "Mrs Ritchie's evidence was that she was left with a bald section on her head as a chunk of hair had been pulled out." Sarah Wilson pleaded guilty to assault, while Chardonnay was convicted following a trial. She still denies removing Yvonne Ritchie's feeding tube and punching and kicking the gran-to-be. Sarah's solicitor Stephen Morrison said: 'This was a baby shower celebration that turned sour for one reason or another. "She absolutely regrets the incident and she hadn't been drinking that day. "She continues to have a relationship with her daughter's partner but not with the rest of his family. There's no reason to believe there will be a repetition of this behaviour as she's not likely to put herself into another family situation like this.' Jocky Wilson was world champion in 1982 and 1989 and one of the biggest stars of the games . He retired in 1995 and died at the age of 62 in 2012. 6 Chantelle had got upset over a game called Would Mummy Rather Credit: Facebook 6 Sarah Wilson was ordered to pay the victim a fine 6 Chardonnay was also convicted of assault Credit: Facebook

Met cop sacked after farting in female officer's FACE & laughing when she refused to ‘pull my finger'
A MET cop has been sacked after farting in a female officer's face and laughing when she refused to "pull his finger". Advertisement 2 PC Wayne Sansom is one of two officers who have been axed following gross misconduct Credit: Facebook 2 PC Sansom complained about the Romanians, referring to them as 'f***ing d***heads'" Credit: Facebook He asked a WPC to pull his finger at Wembley Police Station in northwest London on November 2021 . Fellow officer PC Ben Jeffries is said to have made "inappropriate and discourteous comments" to the same female officer. Russell Ford, for the Met Police, previously told a hearing: "When she declined he passed wind in her face from around 10-15 cm away." PC Sansom "agrees to the 'pull my finger' remark" but denied he actually broke wind. Advertisement Read more Mr Ford added: "He fully accepts his attempt at humour was misplaced and inappropriate in a modern policing workplace. "PC Sansom approached her and asked her to pull his finger, she knew what was intended and told him to move along. "At this, PC Sansom turned his back, stood on his toes and passed wind in her face." Mr Ford said the incident was "corroborated" by another female officer at the time. Advertisement Most read in The Sun Breaking He described how after he asked the PC to pull his finger, PC Sansom, in close proximity, turned away from her and "passed wind very loudly - then laughed out loud and walked away." Mr Ford then referred to an occasion in mid-December 2021 when the female officer described assisting on a call-out involving "Romanian people who did not speak English" with PC Sansom. He added: "Back in the writing room, PC Sansom complained about the Romanians, referring to them as 'f***ing d***heads'." The female officer replied: "That's OK Wayne everyone knows you don't like Romanian people." Advertisement PC Sansom replied: "That's not true… I would put my d**k in you." He was also accused of asking the female officer "questions about her sexuality" and "calling her a lesbian". PC Sansom claims that he only asked the officer "once" about her sexuality after hearing rumours circulate about his colleague's personal life. The hearing was told that Sansom was concerned that this could lead to her being "unfairly treated or talked about". Advertisement Meanwhile, Sutton Police Station heard how PC Jeffries made "discourteous remarks" to the same female officer about her sexuality. PC Jeffries also took a picture of his testicles using the female officer's mobile phone at an Extinction Rebellion protest on 25 August 2021. A nine-day hearing found that both officers had breached the standards of professional behaviour in relation to discreditable conduct, authority, respect and courtesy, and equality and diversity. It was heard that on multiple occasions, dating back to 2020, the officers made racist, misogynistic, sexual and homophobic remarks to several colleagues while on duty. Advertisement Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams, who leads policing for the North West Command, said: 'The actions and comments made by both PC Jeffries and PC Samson were disgusting, wholly inappropriate and fell far below the standards expected of Met police officers. It is right they have been dismissed. 'I would encourage our staff to continue to report any wrongdoing so that we can take action.'

Ashling Murphy's partner 'finally free' as he settles defamation case against BBC
Ryan Casey – the partner of murdered schoolteacher Ashling Murphy – said yesterday he is 'finally free' to advocate for a 'better and safer Ireland' after settling his High Court claim for defamation against the BBC. Mr Casey, 27, sued the British broadcaster following an episode of political programme The View that was shown live on November 30, 2023, and on which Irish Times journalist Kitty Holland appeared. He alleged it contained criticism of the victim impact statement he had given at the sentencing hearing of Jozef Puska, with a suggestion it could excite anti-migrant sentiment. Ashling Murphy and Ryan Casey. Pic: Facebook Puska, originally from Slovakia, stabbed 23-year-old Ms Murphy 11 times in the neck in a random attack in January 2022 along the Grand Canal in Tullamore, Co. Offaly. Mr Casey is understood to have received substantial damages, as well as a contribution towards his costs, amounting to a six-figure sum. In his victim impact statement, he had said: 'It just sickens me to the core that someone can come to this country, be fully supported in terms of social housing, social welfare, and free medical care for over ten years, never hold down a legitimate job and never once contribute to society in any way, shape or form [and] can commit such a horrendous, evil act of incomprehensible violence on such a beautiful, loving and talented person.' Ashling Murphy and Ryan Casey. Pic: Facebook He added: 'This country needs to wake up; this time, things have got to change.' In a statement read to the High Court by barrister Alan Keating, the BBC said it acknowledged Mr Casey's personal tragedy, but it stood by the journalism involved. It said the programme had discussed Mr Ryan's victim impact statement and had debated serious issues of public interest. Ashling Murphy and Ryan Casey. Pic: Collect 'The BBC, however, is happy to clarify that it does not consider Ryan Casey to be a criminal or a racist, or someone guilty of or attempting to incite racial hatred, or someone seeking to pose as a hero of the far right,' the broadcaster said. 'The statement clarifies any unintentional inferences that could have been drawn from the broadcast and has enabled the BBC and Ryan Casey to resolve the matter amicably.' Ronan Lupton, Mr Casey's barrister, said the case could be struck out by Judge Alex Owens. Speaking outside court yesterday, Mr Casey – who met Ms Murphy at an underage disco in 2013 – said: 'Today marks the end of a long and difficult chapter of frustration and censorship. I took this legal action against the BBC not solely out of anger, but out of a need for accountability and dignity for Ashling, for myself, our families, and for all victims who deserve to have their voices heard without such harsh criticism or judgment.' Thanking those people who had supported him, he continued: 'This was never just about me, it was about truth, fairness and decency. 'I now move forward, finally free to use my voice again, to honour Ashling and to advocate for the changes we desperately require in this country, for the increased safety measures we so clearly need, and for a society that listens to its people, free of gaslighting, blacklisting or censorship. We all have a lot more in common than what separates us. Let's honour Ashling by building a better and safer Ireland. We all know we can do so much better.' Jozef Puska's brothers, Marek and Lubomir Jr, were convicted last month of withholding information, while his sisters-in-law, Jozefina Grundzova and Viera Gaziova, were found guilty of burning his clothes after the murder. All four family members were living with Jozef Puska, his wife and 14 children in Co Offaly at the time. Puska's wife, Lucia Istokova, pleaded guilty to withholding information. The DPP said the two brothers misled gardaí and withheld 'crucial, relevant and significant' information when they gave voluntary interviews in Tullamore two days after Ms Murphy's death. They did not tell gardaí that Jozef Puska returned home on the night of the murder with visible injuries, admitted to killing or seriously injuring a woman with a knife and subsequently travelled to Dublin. In her closing speech, prosecutor Anne Marie Lawlor told the jury that all the defendants knew what Jozef Puska had done shortly after 9.30pm on the night of the murder. She said the killer told Lubomir Jr and Marek, who then relayed it to the others in the house. Ms Lawlor said in her closing address that the only reason for the withholding of evidence or the burning of clothes was that the defendants didn't want Jozef Puska to be apprehended or prosecuted for murder.
