Seven men in Chattanooga recently answered an online ad that presented an opportunity to have sex with one or two 16-year-old girls.
Instead, those “girls” turned out to be undercover Chattanooga Police officers.
Click on our gallery above to see each individual mugshot.
Affidavits we obtained say this was an operation Chattanooga Police conducted with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
The online ad directed the men to a hotel.
Each of the affidavits say the men arrived on the scene on Wednesday and agreed to pay an undercover officer or officers posing as 16-year-old girls for sex.
The amounts the men were willing to pay were different - between $80 and $160. But the outcomes were the same.
Police arrested each of these men and charged them with trafficking for commercial sex act and solicitation of a minor.

Wacha lawyer wakuje but I am not sure if an offense brought about by deception on the part of the investigator can be successfully prosecuted. I mean the buggers were egged on to commit a crime by the investigators themuselefus.
Shida ni hapo kwa payment. They always wait till you pass on the money n that’s when they get you. I think because you knowingly and willingly paid to have sex with a minor bait or not it’s an offense.
Hapa ndani lazima waende …Minimum 4 years and listing on the sex offeder registry

Can a undercover officer lure you to rob a bank? Intent has to be there. This ones are always found guilty. In fact they always plea bargain so that they don’t get hit with full sentences.
No sir. This is not entrapment. Cops use this technique all day. There’s even situations where undercover officers leave a vehicle running in a high crime area. Thugs jump in and drive off. That vehicle has a tracking device and is immediately followed and stopped by a remote kill switch. Jela straight.
Huwa na imagine if all men umesalimiana nao wakiwekwa kwa parade hata unaweza jidharau. Yaani kuna sura zingine ukiona mmekula nao p**sy moja unaweza wacha hiyo tabia mbaya kabisa umtafute Yesu anakopatikana
Hakuna entrapment. Entrapment ni kama karau amekulazimisha kucommit crime(law enforcement officers urge, harass, or otherwise overly encourage an individual to commit a crime when he or she would not otherwise do so.) Hapa ni mtu mwenyewe amejileta
