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
