Mr. Roll said the business started when a woman named Petra, who was working as his housekeeper, asked him to help her earn extra money to send to her two children in Lithuania. Mr. Roll said that he got her a job as a lap dancer, but that she outperformed the others and was fired for earning too much.
"She said, 'Let's bring the business into the house,' " Mr. Roll said.
With Petra, he set up the enterprise as methodically as he did his business packing condiments into small packets for hospitals, schools and prison cafeterias.
He said he took the women shopping for lingerie and taught them how to dance and pose. He bought $150 japanese hug pillow at Bloomingdale's and installed heat lamps in the ceilings so the men would not get cold.
"I said, 'Let's put doilies here and buy Scope for your mouth if they are kissing you,' " he said. "I said, 'This is not like getting under the covers with your wife every night. This is a show.' "
Last Nov. 22 at 2 p.m., Petra, 43, left Mr. Roll's house to return to Europe and by 8 p.m. Anna Zuchowska, 23, of Poland, had moved in, he said. She had responded to his ad the previous July, but he turned her down because she was so young.
Ms. Zuchowska, a tall woman with flowing blond hair, was working when the police arrived on Wednesday, and was charged with prostitution.
The man arrested with her, Kevin Callanan, 32, of Manorville, N.Y., was given a desk appearance ticket to appear in court on a later date. In an interview today, Mr. Callanan, a former assistant district attorney in Suffolk County, said that he was at the house for a massage on the suggestion of someone who had seen the New York magazine ad.
"The topic of sex was never discussed," said Mr. Callanan, who added that he made the appointment only when he could not get one at the licensed massage therapist business where he regularly goes.
"My wife, unequivocally, without hesitation, would laugh at the prospect of me patronizing a brothel," he said.
Released from jail tonight, Miss Zuchowska agreed their meeting was "just massage." She said that though her clients treated her very well, she would never resort to doing this kind of work again. "Never in my life," she said, "because I don't want to go to jail again. I never want to go through that hell again."
On Hunting Hill Drive today, neighbors described Mr. Roll as a peculiar man who kept odd hours and acted strangely confident.
"It would be like 2 or 3 in the morning, it would be like he didn't sleep," said Mitch Silver, 20. "He'd be walking around the block two or three times, talking on his cell phone. He would always wave to me and, you know, people are just not that friendly."
Another neighbor, Joan Siano, said Mr. Roll had approached her nannies. "He would say, 'You should come over to my house and see all my toys,' " Ms. Siano said. "I would tell them not to go over there, to stay away from him. He would walk around the neighborhood with women. He said they were all his girlfriends and that he was going to marry them."
Mr. Roll, a father of two grown children, said that his life took an unfortunate turn when he left his wife in 1985 and took up with a series of women. In that way, he said, he hoped his new business would help other men avoid the mistakes he had made.
"I wished that I could have had a place to go to live out my fantasy to the fullest, and then return to a normal life with my family, wife and children," he said.
