Thirteen people were caught during a bust of prostitution in Riferside County.
The process targeted prostitution online and the suspects who sought illegal services.
A bust took on July 30 and officers participated in the Maurita Police Department and the work team in the Riferside County to combat human trafficking.
Thirteen of the suspects were held for the alleged prostitution seam:
- Christopher Rawkil, 20, Timikola
- Benjamin Narcluk, 22, Timikola
- Alexis Bravo Rice, 23, Long Beach
- Edwaro Tamilo, 23, Maurita
- Jose Ambrez Gomez, 27, Ontario

- Stephen Johnson, 38, Maurita
- Jason Wilson, 43, Timikola
- Jeffrey Hoffman, 52, Minive

“The operation focused on saving the victims of sexual slavery and human trafficking, identifying and arresting their kidnappers, and disrupting the demand for these vulnerable victims,” said Maurita police officials. “Prostitution is not a“ non -victim. ”Human trafficking is the second largest criminal institution in the world. Ninety -five percent of sexual trafficking victims are women or children. Those who harm commercial sexual exploitation often have a long history of emotional, physical, sexual or trauma in their background.”
There were no further details with the case remaining under investigation.
