An Elyria City Council member was arrested Thursday as part of a statewide prostitution sting overseen by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.

Mark Jessie, 64, faces a misdemeanor charge of soliciting sex for money, the Elyria Police Department said in a news release. He will make his first court appearance Wednesday in Elyria Municipal Court.

Jessie, a Democrat, has represented the city’s Ward 3 for eight years. He will face off with Republican candidate Maurice Corbin III in the Nov. 2 general election.

Jessie was arrested as part of a statewide sex trafficking sting named “Operation Ohio Knows.” The operation, which took place from Sept. 24 to Oct. 1, led to 161 arrests across Ohio, according to the news release.

Undercover detectives communicated online with Jessie and arranged a 30-minute meeting with him. Jessie agreed to pay $60 for sex during the meeting, according to a police report.

sting named “Operation Ohio Knows.”

Well voters didn’t, but they do now!

[praytell]

I don’t know if this is the cynic in me, but watch Ohio still elect this guy in the general election

[rktman]

Or the u.n.? 😕

RE:voters will probably re-elect his turkey....

I agree. They will say to each other “I seen on the TV the Republican guy agreed with Trump on stuff. We better vote Dem like we always do.”

Congratulations, Jessie, on your latest resume enhancement!

Gee, a crooked Democrat. What is this country coming to? /s

[adamjeeps]

Go after the pimps, they are more the problem than the buyer. Just make it legal and let the women work for a regulated company.

Democrats working for the people huh.

[Deplorable American1776]

Maybe Jessie thought Kameltoe Harris was the one he was going to have sex with? I mean, if K. Harris can get ahead by doing sex, maybe he thought he could be Senator from Ohio with help from an expert!! 🤓

...a statewide sex trafficking sting named “Operation Ohio Knows.”

Probably more like "Operation Ohio Everyone Knew". Clearly this is some kind of entrapment scheme, and Ohio should defund the police. /s

Was he hooking up with a girl...or a guy?

The real question...what was he expecting to get for $60? An ear swab with a hot wet tongue?

“Was it good for you babe?”

The reason 3 year old illegals (unaccompanied) are ‘migrating’ to the US is NOT TO PICK GRAPES OR PAUL RYAN’S CHERRIES’... IT’S FOR THE SEX TRADE AND FOR ‘INTELLIGENCE’ TO SECURE BLACKMAIL CONTROL.

I knew he was a Democrat when the local news was announcing the story and didn't say Republican right away. The party would have been mentioned three times in the first sentence if he had been a Republican.

Yeah, I’ll bet Amazon would do very well in this business!

But seriously, if we profess to be a decent country, we can’t allow this sort of thing.

Something to look forward to: Rev18:10-13 "When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. 10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: "`Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!' 11 "The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more-- 12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men.

Go after the pimps and the buyers.

I have always believed that one of the reasons why the Dems hated President Trump, if not the main reason, was that he went after human trafficking and traffickers big time.

They were/are heavily involved in this abomination and feared exposure so they concocted all of the false accusations that bedeviled him all throughout his administration.
