A high school basketball coach and pastor were among the 79 people arrested in a human trafficking sting in Florida, police said, according to numerous sources.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that “Operation Takedown” led to the arrests of Earnest Benjamin, 39, and Christopher Ray, 39, on charges that they solicited sex, WFLA reported. Benjamin is reportedly a pastor at Breath of Life Worship Church in Tampa, and Ray is a girls high school basketball coach at Land O’ Lakes High School.
The sting took place from March 30 to April 9 and is the second human trafficking operation conducted by the sheriff’s office this year ahead of a large-scale community event, WFLA reported. https://t.co/0eE5Qohnd2

dream act is stalled. romney bashed the president s end run around congress. even though he was asked repeatedly, he refused to say if he would repeal the order if he s elected in november. would you repeal this order if you became president? well, let s step back and look at the issue. what would you do about it? as you know, he was president for the last three and a half years, did nothing on immigration. but would you repeal this? well, it would be overtaken by events by virtue of my putting in place a long-term solution with legislation which creates law that relates to individuals such as they know their setting is going to be. for the term of a president but on a permanent basis. would you leave this in place while you worked out a long-term solution or would you just repeal it? we ll look at that setting as we reach that. but my anticipation is i d come into office and say we need to get this done on a long-term basis. not this kind of stop-gap measure.
