Seven people were arrested in Jefferson County, Tennessee, after an undercover operation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Human Trafficking Unit, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and Dandridge Police Department. Investigators said they posted decoy ads on websites associated with prostitution and commercial sex to identify people seeking sex acts with minors. The seven face charges of patronizing prostitution of a minor; one person also faces a charge of furnishing alcohol to a minor. Authorities emphasized that the charges are accusations and the defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
