SPANISH FORT, Ala. For the third time in about a year, the Spanish Fort Police have held a sex sting netting numerous arrests.
During their third operation, police were able to make seven arrests while also speaking with the women being trafficked and offering them help as they did during previously.
And once again, according to the Spanish Fort Police Department, they worked alongside The Little Tree Project to conduct an undercover operation, this time on June 26th, 2026.
The seven men were all arrested on charges of agreeing to engage or participate in an act of prostitution.
During this operation, police arrested:
34-year-old George Ibanez
41-year-old Aaron Green
37-year-old Michael Triplett
56-year-old Bobby Horne
34-year-old Jose Rodriguez
25-year-old Diego Garcia-Gomez
27-year-old Paul Shoenight
Authorities said that Rodriguez and Garcia-Gomez were in the US illegally and that they have been released into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“We have an operation targeting the ones that are out there buying these services because I think it’s very important you have to go at it both ways,” Chief John Barber said.
“If you didn’t have buyers out there, you would not have people that were forced into this.”
