“It is a well-known fact that many are forced into this type of ‘s*x work’ through physical force, fraud, and coercion,” said Sheriff John D. Idleburg. “Many of them are victims of human trafficking. There is no doubt that if we reduce the demand for this type of activity, we reduce the need for the supply, making positive strides toward reducing human trafficking.”
All 12 people are scheduled to appear in court on December 21.
