A prostitution sting in Florida busted a whopping 92 people over a period of four days, Orlando authorities say. <\/p>\n
The sting was set up at a local hotel and ultimately captured 39 prostitutes and 12 pimps; among those arrested were a youth minister and a man who was in Florida for his honeymoon. <\/p>\n
21-year old Mohammed Ahmed was a newlywed who was apparently trying to arrange for a prostitute to come and service him along with his wife; unfortunately for him, he wound up involved in the massive undercover operation.<\/p>\n
Authorities say that prostitution busts are often connected to other crimes and that solicitation is just as illegal when it’s done online, as it mostly was in this case.<\/p>\n
“The negative social costs of prostitution hurt families, children, and communities, including the spreading of infectious diseases,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd<\/a>. “The nexus between prostitution and other crime, such as illegal drugs, violence against women, and human trafficking, is a real problem.”<\/p>\n No word yet on whether the newlywed’s bride had prior knowledge of his plans or not.<\/p>\n
