This area has had a problem with prostitution over the years. The operation’s primary targets were the male customers, or “Johns”, who solicit sex from female prostitutes. Undercover female deputies were utilized in the operation and posed as prostitutes. Deputies arrested nine males and one female for solicitation of sex for money during the operation.
