A multiagency undercover law enforcement operation led to the arrests earlier this month of three service members at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam who allegedly solicited sex from federal agents posing online as minors, officials said Friday.
The three individuals, aged 22, 26, and 31, were detained at the Oahu base where they allegedly intended to meet federal agents who posed as teenagers aged 13 to 15 from April 2 to 4, said Jeff Houston, a spokesman for the Naval Criminal Investigation Service.
