The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Vice/Narcotics Division, assisted by a support team and patrol deputies, conducted an undercover operation with the intent of targeting websites that are frequently used to solicit prostitution in St. Mary’s County. Beyond the quality of life issues which are associated with prostitution, other serious criminal acts, such as human trafficking, sexual assault, drug distribution and robbery, are known to have a prostitution nexus.
