So how old was the prostitute the undercover officer was pretending to be?

As far as I knew, most 'internet stings' of this type were aimed at capturing pedophiles. If this particular operation was aimed at 'johns' seeking 'regular' prostitutes then it is the first of its type I have heard about.

They do plenty of stings like this, to catch people who patronize escort services or look for prostitutes on craigslist or other sites. Most child sex predator stings would not be referred to as prostitution stings.
