Ohio arrested 161 people last week in a widespread sting operation meant to crackdown on human trafficking and prostitution. According to The Columbus Dispatch , this was one of the biggest human trafficking stings in the state’s history.
The week-long affair called “Operation Ohio Knows” had law enforcement chat up men looking for sex — wrangling three people who thought they were meeting up with underaged minors. Fifty-one women total were rescued and given immediate access to social service resources.
An Ohio councilman, Mark Jessie, was caught soliciting sexual acts. Up for re-election this November in Elyria, Ohio, he told the publication that “I’m taking this very seriously and realize it’s an enormous mistake.”
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost commented on the operation. “We cannot arrest our way out of human trafficking. If there are no buyers, there will be no trafficking.” The paper ran a story days ago about a missing black Columbus transwoman named Sacoya, hoping that the attention given to the Gabby Petito case could garner interest.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
