    NY charge dropped against woman on 'Wife Swap'

    Associated Press – Wed, Dec 12, 2012 9:05 AM PST

    PEMBROKE, N.Y. (AP) — A prostitution charge in New York against a former teen pageant princess who once appeared on the reality TV show "Wife Swap" has been dropped.

    An attorney for Alicia Guastaferro (guhs-tuh-FEHR'-oh) says Genesee County prosecutors agreed to drop the charge during a court appearance Tuesday. The 21-year-old still faces misdemeanor drug possession charges.

    She's due back in court March 12.

    Guastaferro was arrested with Rochester attorney James Doyle at an interstate travel plaza in August. Doyle was charged with soliciting a prostitute, but that charge was dropped. He still faces a drunken driving charge. He and Guastaferro have pleaded not guilty.

    Guastaferro and ABC settled a lawsuit last year over the "Wife Swap" episode she appeared on. She claimed its unfair portrayal of her as a spoiled 15-year-old made her a target of ridicule.
