Eleven suspects from five states jailed for soliciting child sex
Bogus advertisements placed online by local, state, and federal investigators with offers of sex with minors lured 11 suspects from several states out of the dark web and into jail cells.
The 11 men were apprehended last week by Bristol Tennessee officers, the TBI’s human trafficking unit, and federal agents and charged with solicitation and patronizing prostitution.
Six of the 11 charged reside in the Northeast Tennessee region; the others traveled from Kentucky, South Carolina, West Virginia, and North Carolina.
