Nine men have been arrested in Richmond County’s latest crackdown on prostitution, according to jail records.
The arrests come just two weeks after six women were arrested for prostitution, according to jail records.
Members of the RCSO Narcotics/Vice/Gang division are known for setting up operations in local hotel rooms. In this case, arrests were made Tuesday. They usually target both the women who sell themselves online, the men who solicit services and any others who transport prostitutes.
Here are the names of the nine men arrested on Tuesday and charged with solicitation or transport for prostitution:
- Alejandro Estrada, 24, Solicitation or transport for prostitution
- Olguin Garcia, 19, Solicitation or transport for prostitution
