prostitution

A Rochester man has been sentenced for felony conviction connected to juvenile prostitution sting investigation.

An Olmsted County judge earlier suppressed the evidence gathered during a search of the Rochester man's home.

The case involves a Rochester man accused of soliciting a juvenile boy for sex, as well as the dissemination and possession of child pornography.

He was accused of pushing a woman he met online to work as a prostitute.

He was among the four men arrested by Rochester police in connection with the investigation.

The former lawmaker from Grand Rapids is currently scheduled to be released to a halfway house on Tuesday.

He was charged with arranging to meet and pay for sex with a juvenile girl who was actually an undercover officer.

The Grand Rapids Republican faces felony charges in both state and federal court.

The Grand Rapids Republican was arrested by Bloomington Police on Monday.

Republican Senate leaders are calling for the immediate resignation of the Republican lawmaker.

He was among the seven men arrested after they responded to fake ad posted online by Rochester police investigators.

One of the men charged in the case has been deported.

The 22-year-old Rochester man entered the guilty plea and was sentenced today.

The investigation began last January when a woman came forward and told police how she had been pushed into prostitution.
