You don't think the absence of a witness to the exchange "goods for services" was their motivation? Yes, the cops can "charge" you with anything, but likely this would have gone nowhere, due to a lack of witness..... (her self-confession as to the relationship details would likely have been inadmissable)
I take the statement as a typical PR one, and it certainly sounds so much better than "We wanted to arrest her for prostitution, but as we had no witness or evidence to prove our case, we had to let her go...."
