Ho Ho Ho! "Operation Red Light" nabs hookers
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department organized a sting operation, dubbed Operation Red Light, with other area law enforcement agencies to disrupt prostitution operations advertising on the internet Dec. 19, 2007. L.A. County Sheriff's deputies arrested and cited this prostitution suspect at the Monrovia Oak Tree Inn after calling the
Internet advertisement of Unlimited Escorts.
This photo was taken by staffer Leo Jarzomb.
Reporter Jennifer McLain tagged along with the cops on the sting for two days. In all 37 arrests were made in area hotels, underground brothels and massage parlors. McLain's story will run in Thursday's paper.

Thanks for the heads up, gave you credit, but I used a better headline on blogging.la. Keep up the great work here!
I don't understand the point of that picture. Are you subtly trying to show us the kind of body you can get these days by paying money? I mean, she does have a nice body, but now you're saying that one's off the street?
Seriously. We're tempting the choir here!
