A Camas man and nine others were arrested during a two-day prostitution sting by the Benton County Sheriff’s Office in Oregon.
Brian Bartolero, 34, of Camas was arrested on suspicion of commercial sexual solicitation, booked into the Benton County Jail and released with a citation due to limited space at the jail, the sheriff’s office said in a press release.
Detectives placed two separate online advertisements through what was described as social media and advertising platforms at the start of the year. About 200 men and women responded. Among the respondents were sex offenders and felons with active warrants.
A new advertisement was posted this week — 70 people responded, and 10 men followed through by showing up at a Corvallis, Ore., hotel. All were arrested.
