Ten Men Arrested in Gadsden Prostitution Sting

Gadsden Police arrested a total of ten men during a daylight prostitution sting taking place last Friday (August 15th).

The men – ranging in age from 19 to 71 – were charged with soliciting prostitution which is a misdemeanor offense.

An officer with the Gadsden Police Department’s Special Projects Team, said the operation came about in response to complaints by members of the public after several people that were walking to work in the area had been approached by individuals “asking for sex.”

Police stationed a female officer in the area and monitored as she walked along a half-block stretch – and within minutes she was approached by one man after another, proving to the department that the complaints were well-founded.

The ten arrests were made in a period of less than three hours.
