'Queen Bee' Indicted For Luring Boston Man to Lowell for Sex

WOBURN, MA -- A Lowell woman, whose online moniker is "Queen Bee,'' has been stung by a grand jury which indicted her and a male co-defendant on armed robbery charges for allegedly luring a Boston man to Lowell for the purpose of sex and then robbing him.

Brianne King, 27, of Lowell, and co-defendant Andre Banks, 27, were each indicted on May 9 on charges of armed robbery and conspiracy. Banks faces an additional charge of larceny over $250.

No superior court arraignment has been scheduled.

Lowell police allege that after "chatting'' on Faceb00k for several days, a Boston man agreed to drive to Lowell on Dec. 21, 2016 to meet a woman whose online moniker is "Queen Bee." At the meeting, police allege that
King directed the victim to a secluded area in Lowell, where they chatted until she exited the car to have a cigarette.

Police allege that when King got out, Banks, who was armed with a semi-automatic handgun, got into the car and robbed the victim of $100 in cash, a cellphone, credit cards and his car keys. As the man fled the car, he threw the car keys away.
