Undercover operation leads to seven sex trafficking arrests in Clay County

Seven people were arrested in an undercover sex trafficking sting earlier this month in Clay County, according to the sheriff’s office.

Investigators posted ads on sites known for trafficking. Deputies said suspects believed they were arranging to meet a 14-year-old girl for sex, but were instead confronted by uniformed deputies and arrested.
