Among those arrested in the sex sting were two Disney employees, a state corrections officer, several teachers and a deputy police chief from Georgia

 

A sex sting operation in Florida led to 160 arrests of sex workers and those who solicit their services, including a top cop from Georgia, the Polk County Sheriff's Office announced Friday.

The week-long sting, called "Operation Fall Haul II," was designed to find victims of sex trafficking, the sheriff's office said.

Investigators discovered at least two sex trafficking victims during the operation, and there could potentially be more, according to Sheriff Grady Judd.

"Our goal is to start services the moment that they are taken into custody and to treat them as what they are, victims, not as suspects in a criminal event," Judd said at a press conference.

Among those arrested in the operation were two Disney employees, a state corrections officer, several teachers and a deputy police chief from Georgia.

Cameron Burke was a high school IT expert from the city of Ocoee who was arrested for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old student. He was released on bond and was busted during the sting for soliciting a prostitute.

Carlos Gonzales, an Osceola County math teacher, and John Layton, an Orange County physical education teacher, were also arrested in the operation.

Judd said Jason DiPrima, deputy police chief of the Cartersville Police Department in Georgia, is "no longer a police officer."

The Cartersville Police Department said in a press release that DiPrima had resigned from his post on Thursday. The department had previously placed him on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.

DiPrima was arrested for soliciting another for prostitution, lewdness or assignation.

you know, i was far from the ladies man back in the day and I often went ages without a girlfriend or getting laid, but I never, ever once paid for sex or went into creepy porn stores or even attempted to cheat on girlfriends that i did have etc.......

There are simply too many creeps out there today and they come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and genders....whether the climate is changing or not.

It is truly heartbreaking to consider the pain of the victims...

I hope and pray someone has an opportunity to share how much God loves each them, and how valuable they are as individuals to Him.-

Money can do horrible things to women.

Glad that this is happening BUT the world’s oldest profession will still proceed because individual women not part of a human trafficking operation, or an organized drug induced pimp ring ,will still independently ply their trade.

Outside of that ancient societal impulse, the creeps will be rolled up . A very good thing.

But the title “Sex Sting” is overly salacious. “Sex Ring Arrests” wold be more accurate.

I am libertarian on this issue. If the woman is not being trafficked or forced, she should be allowed to sell sex of her own free will.

[sit-rep]

victims?? what victims?? I say you should put a little more effort into reading the article.

Every Florida sting seems to get Disney employees. I guess it’s no surprise, hedonists are going to live hedonism. Moral people would risk their children around them. But, these amoral hedonists fund sex trafficking of all kinds, including children.

[jacknhoo]

Correction for above:Moral people would NOT risk their children around them.

so much for background checks when they get a job

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Totally agree. What’s the difference in meeting them at a bar or on a dating app? Even Twitter allows woman to post their nudes and links to their sex page.

There are many of those "To Catch A Predator" things on youtube...for those who didn't watch it when it was on. They caught a prison guard, at least one cop,several Armed Forces enlisted men,at least one Army and one Marine Corps officer,at least one lawyer (a district attorney!),at least one physician and a Rabbi. And they caught a number of low IQ types as well.

The episode that featured the physician showed him,after he was arrested,calling his wife asking her to bring $30,000 to the county jail...and asking her not to bring the kids!

Guys who do stuff like that astound me...and I'm astounded the most by guys who have a lot to lose.

As far as Disney goes...it's the dream of every arsonist to get a job at the fire department and it's the dream of every child molester to get a job at Disney World.

There are number of videos on youtube from the Polk Country Sheriff’s Dept about various arrests they make. The guy who typically does them (the Sheriff himself,I assume) is pretty good.He always calls a spade a spade!

[caww]

I read of the 160 arrested 26 said they were married.

[joma89]

Now go after the people on epstein’s list.

Forgot to mention...one of the episodes featured a guy that Chris Hansen *knew* from many Metro North trips between Connecticut and Grand Central. He was some kind of big executive in Manhattan. When he came out from behind the curtain Hansen said something like “Bill,what are *you* doing here?”

[Gay State Conservative]

Only 26?

[Not_Who_U_Think]

I’ve been married a few times, so I’ve paid for it.

But seriously, from what little I know about the trade, I cannot imagine a life so empty that paying for it is satisfying. I’ve got better things to do with my time.

BillyBob...that guy from Chappaqua...was a frequent flier on Lolita Airlines. And Randy Andy just lost his Mum!
