MORE THAN 100 johns — lawyers and doctors among them — were named and shamed in an aggressive Nassau County sting after soliciting sex from cops posing as prostitutes.
The arrests were announced Monday after a month-long investigation dubbed “Operation Flush the Johns.”
Not only did the 104 busts send shockwaves through marriages, law firms and medical offices, they also sent a strong message from law enforcement that people who pay for sex will be treated like common criminals in Nassau County.
“This whole concept of looking at johns as victims — they’re not victims!” explained Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice.
“They’re further exploiting and victimizing trafficked women and men.”
The suspects, who each face up to a year on misdemeanor promotion of prostitution charges, range in age from 17 to 79. They were arrested during eight stings at hotel rooms between April 18 and May 24.
All 104 suspects pleaded not guilty and each john faces a maximum of one year in prison.
