Clarksville, TN – On December 11th, 2014 and January 2nd, 2015, Vice Agents of the Clarksville Police Department’s Special Operations Unit conducted operations targeting Internet prostitution on Back Page.com.
Seven arrests were made that included charges of Prostitution, Promoting Prostitution, Possession of a Handgun by a Felon, Possession of Drugs and Drug Paraphernalia.
These types of operations are ongoing in an effort to not only deter prostitution, but to deter the other crimes that consistently accompany prostitution.Assault and Robbery of the customer have become common crimes in Internet prostitution as the meeting place is controlled by the prostitute.
Further operations will be conducted targeting the Internet customers. This is a fair warning to the prostitutes and the solicitors of prostitution in Clarksville – think before you hit the “enter” button on the computer. The person on the other end of that Internet connection just might be the police.
Agent Nathan Lee and Agent Ryan Steinlage are the lead investigators.
