Summer Months Bring Frequent Prostitution Stings
Within the past two weeks, police in both Everett and Seattle have been making quite a few arrests from recent prostitution stings.
Last week, an undercover sting up in Everett had arrested, cited, and in the end released ten men who were suspected of trying to hire a few ladies of the night. Meanwhile, in Seattle this past weekend the West Precinct Anti-Crime Team officers had a field day making several arrests, including at least three women and one 17-year-old girl who were "working" within the Denny Triangle area.
Despite prostitution's history as the world's oldest profession, both city authorities are keeping up almost-routine monthly stings. Even the Everett police have warned that more prostitution stings are planned throughout the summer months.
Just the other day, one of our lawyer friends commented that the summer months generally bring an increase of prostitution cases into the court system. Looks like that still holds true.
