Federal authorities announced a major crackdown on prostitution that reveals sex trafficking in North Texas remains an ongoing problem.
In Frisco, two hotels were used for an undercover operation resulting in the arrests of 46 men in only two days.
John Perez with Homeland Security Investigations oversaw an operation involving undercover officers placing ads that blended in with countless others found online. Men looking to pay for sex who responded to the undercover adds arrived at the hotels in Frisco and Southlake only to find police waiting for them.
"I'm very happy to see those soliciting being prosecuted because if there's no demand there's no supply," said Chelsea Robertson.
