     On March 10th, 2022 the was an undercover investigation that included mutliple agency coming together to focus on the human trafficking in thr area of East Tennessee. The multi-agency consist of  special agents  and detectives from TBI Human Trafficking Unit, Dayton Police Department, 12th District Attorney General Office, Homeland Security Investigations and TBI's Tennessee Human Trafficking Task Force. This multi-agency group went undercover to concentrate on people who were looking up and/or searching to  take part in commercial sex acts with minors. 
     These 5 men above were arrested and charged with seeking illicit sex from minor. They are being held at Rhea County Jail on a $25,000 bond.
     I placed their charges underneath their photos. I glad to see that this multi-agency Team coming together to focus on Tennessee. Remeber the Summer Wells cases is in Tennessee. There are other cases that are not as "High Profile" as Summer (Bly) Wells and they ALL need a great Team to be solved.
