POLK COUNTY, Florida -- Thirty-nine people have been arrested in Florida in a child sex and prostitution sting.

MOBILE USERS: SWIPE TO VIEW INDIVIDUAL MUGSHOTS:

The Polk County Sheriff's Office along with several partner agencies made the arrests after a week-long undercover investigation.

The investigation focused on people who travel to have sex with minors and prostitution-related offenses. Nineteen of the arrests were related to online prostitution.

One person was arrested for possession of child pornography and 19 others were arrested for traveling to meet a minor for sex.

Authorities said 11 of the suspects either brought condoms or told the undercover detectives they were bringing condoms. Seven of the suspects allegedly asked undercover officers posing as young girls if they were virgins or mentioned wanting to take their virginity. Four suspects asked undercover officers for nude photos and three suspects said they wanted to "teach" them about sex, police said.

"Despite the fact that they said online they thought it was a setup they still showed up. And that's how deviant these really are. They're so focused on trying to find children, your children, they'll disregard their common sense and attack anyway," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told WFTS.
