A prostitution sweep that spanned multiple counties resulted in the arrest of 55 people.

Operation S.T.O.P., Stop The Online Prostitution, was conducted last week by law enforcement agencies in Orange, Osceola, Marion, Volusia, Sumter, Citrus, and Alachua counties.

According to investigators, detectives made calls to phone numbers advertised online and set a date to meet the person who posted the ad. Detectives went undercover and when the suspect agreed to sex for pay an arrest was made.

In Volusia County, the sting operation was conducted out of a local hotel. Agents leased three rooms at a hotel in East Volusia, and netted six arrests.
