The Investigation
During the week of September 5 to September 9, 2016, the Portland Police Bureau's Sex Trafficking Unit conducted an undercover mission to address online sex trafficking.
Investigators posted online ads on known sex trafficking websites. 10 men contacted undercover police officers to arrange payment for sexual acts. Investigators were assisted by a Portland hotel as part of this effort.
For investigative reasons, the Sex Trafficking Unit is not sharing the specific website, application, or ad text publicly.
The 10 men who responded to the ad and came to the hotel were arrested with the misdemeanor crime of Patronizing a Prostitute (Oregon Revised Statute 167.008). Nine men were given criminal citations to appear in court at a later time. One was lodged for Distribution and Possession of Methamphetamine and for Patronizing a Prostitute.
The following is a list of the men arrested for Patronizing a Prostitute:
