Police were alerted to the situation after one of the women called 911 and told them she and other women were being held against their will. The woman told the 911 operator that the women were forced to dance for money.

She says she met Roberts on the social media site Seeking Arrangements, which connects women with wealthy men.

When officers arrived at the home, they found a total of eight women inside. The women have all been removed from the residence.

Roberts was scheduled to appear in court Thursday morning.
