San Antonio Escorts: Undercover vice unit targets south-side johns in ‘tricky’ sting
Thursday, June 30th, 2011… We’re going to use some of our undercover female officers to act as prostitutes and see if they will be propositioned by these men,” says Sgt. Barney Whitson.
Within 90 minutes detectives had arrested three suspects. Each one is accused of offering cash in exchange for sexual acts.
“They’re just as big as a problem as the female prostitutes are,” Whitson points out.
The undercover investigation stems from concerns from those living in and around the south-side neighborhood where the operation is taking place.
Whitson says they will continue to target those breaking the law on San Antonio streets.”We put it together pretty quick and get it done,” he said.
To prove that point, within the last eight weeks officers have arrested more than 40 women on prostitution charges on the city’s south side.
