Five bikini baristas in Everett have been charged with prostitution, accused of lewd behavior at an espresso stand.

Police said the women charged customers to touch their breasts and buttocks, which falls under the city's definition of prostitution.

The Everett Herald reported the women were charging up to $80 to strip down while fixing lattes and mochas.

During a two-month investigation, detectives said they saw the women lick whipped cream off each other and pose naked for pictures at the Grab-n-Go Espresso stand on Broadway.

The detective said the stand is positioned so that traffic above had a full view of naked women perched on the drive-thru window ledge, the Herald reported.

Police said other sexual games and activities occurred at the stand, including a game in which customers would throw wadded up money at the girls, who would then catch the money in their underwear.

Sgt. Robert Goetz said the women, ages 18-to-24, were charged, but not arrested.

They are expected to be in court in a few weeks to answer misdemeanor charges.
