Law Enforcement Operation Uncovers Widespread Network Involving Those Meant To Protect Ohio Children Buying Sex Instead

According to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yosta statewide human-trafficking sting transpiring last week by more than 100 law enforcement agencies resulted in 132 arrests of people seeking to buy sex – including some with minors.

Yost expressed that the issue must be attacked “by curbing… demand” and that the operation was created to hold accountable “those who exploit survivors or fuel human trafficking by agreeing to pay for sex”.

The operation took place from October 6 to October 12 in 19 Ohio countiesincluding the areas of Akron, Marietta, Toledo, Portsmouth, Columbus, and Cleveland.

The arrests included 110 “johns”, as well as 22 individuals charged with felonies for seeking commercial sex with a minor.

Authorities identified 74 human-trafficking survivors, rescuing and sending them to healthcare and social service organizations.

 

Included in the bust was Charles Arnold, 55, a chief fire inspector for the Ohio Department of Commerce and Jeffrey Startzman, 68, a former prosecutor and current board member for Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services.

 

John Hughes, 35, a high school referee, was charged with two felony counts of pandering for seeking to buy sex from a minor. Quin Liston, 22, John Dudash, 77, Christopher Miller, 54, Robert Fijol, 45, and Suhib Al Zenati, 27 were charged with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

It seems to be a trend across America: not only are our taxpayer dollars being used frivolously and without regard to the average citizen (think of the billions we’ve sent to Ukraine for “aid” as ordinary citizens struggle and flounder under inflation and stagnant wages) but a majority of those in even the lowest forms of power don’t care if this sting operation is anything to go by.
