KTVZ

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland police have arrested 11 men from several different states as part of an undercover sex trafficking operation.

KOIN-TV reports (http://bit.ly/2hOTWJf ) that the suspects range in age from 30 to 53 and are from Oregon, Arizona and South Carolina.

During the weeklong operation, which took place earlier this month, officers posted advertisements on sex trafficking websites. Police say the suspects were arrested after they responded to the ads and offered to pay for sex.
