Several people have been cited as part of an operation aimed at cracking down on human trafficking and the sex trade industry in Bakersfield.
Undercover officers with the Bakersfield Police Department and the FBI were approached April 30 by several men around town who propositioned them for paid sex.
That resulted in 10 citations and one man being taken to jail
Statistics show Bakersfield police have been targeting prostitutes and other people involved in paid sex crimes since the early 1900’s.
