Nearly three dozen johns and prostitutes were hauled out of hotels and motels in Warren this week as police began a crackdown on human sex trafficking in the city. One private residence in the city also was involved in the sweep. Police also seized drugs, including crack cocaine, cocaine and heroin, he said.
Two women came forward as victims and have not been charged in the sting targeting what Dwyer said is "modern-day slavery. No minors were arrested during the Warren sting, authorities said.
Mayor Jim Fouts said the women arrested were addicted to drugs. He called the sting a "step in the right direction to have a clean and safe city," not only in the neighborhoods, but also at the hotels.
