Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges says they posted an ad showing pictures of an undercover officer on websites used by those seeking services from a sex worker. He says, “211 people interacted with our ads in a span of two days and we arrested 23 people.” Hodges says they all face gross misdemeanor sex offenses and three of the defendants are also charged with weapons counts. A 24th suspect is still under investigation.
