HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Investigators with the Harris County Sheriff's Office Vice Unit made several arrests yesterday during an undercover prostitution sting in north Harris County. The operation focused on suspects soliciting sex online. Female undercover deputies advertised as escorts on the internet and arranged for solicitors to meet them at a prearranged location off of I-45 North and FM 1960, officials said.
Once suspects arrived and made an agreement with the undercover deputies to receive sexual services in exchange for money, they were arrested.
The operation resulted in the arrest of seven males. All of the following have been charged for prostitution: Eric Lucero, 43; Jose Dubon, 42; Richard Wayne Learn, 65; Richard Anthony Thompson, 51; Joseph Francis Andolino, 59; Dean Andrew Starke, 52; and Michael Allen Barth, 50.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office will continue to conduct similar reverse prostitution operations targeting not only those who solicit sex but those who sell sex as well.
