Clarksville Police Department conducts Prostitution Sting

Clarksville, TN – On Friday, March 4th, 2016, Vice and Narcotics Agents of the Clarksville Police Department’s Special Operations Unit conducted operations targeting prostitution on backpage.com.

Six persons were charged with Patronizing Prostitution. They are John Santos, Anthony Ashford, Kyle Stallworth, Stephen Mock, Richard Ginnetto and Gavin Phillips.

The focus of the operation was centered on those who solicit prostitution in an effort to not only reduce this type of activity but to prevent assaults and robberies against the solicitors that have become commonplace with online prostitution as they become easy targets when they are directed to locations that are controlled by the prostitutes.

Captain Gipson, the Special Operations Unit Commander, stated, “These types of operations are ongoing with a fair warning to those that solicit prostitution online, the person on the other end of that web page just might be the police”.

Agent David Bramel and Agent Vince Duke are the lead investigators.
