WILLIAMSON COUNTY – An undercover operation by special agents with the TBI Human Trafficking Unit, the Williamson County Sheriff’s Department, the Spring Hill Police Department, and the 21st Judicial District Attorney General’s Office has resulted in the arrest of ten men accused of seeking commercial sex from minors. 

Over a two-day period on November 16th and 17th, as part of an undercover investigation aimed at addressing human trafficking in the Middle Tennessee area, authorities worked to identify those engaged in trafficking, promoting, recruiting, or soliciting others for the purpose of commercial sex. Undercover officers placed several decoy advertisements on websites known to be linked to prostitution and commercial sex. The focus of the operation was to identify individuals seeking to engage in commercial sex acts with minors. As a result of the operation, ten men were charged with patronizing prostitution of a minor that is punishable as trafficking for commercial sex acts, and booked into the Williamson County Jail (See the names of those arrested, as released by the TBI).
