The director of public affairs for Washington County was arrested after trying to buy sex from an undercover ad, the Ohio General Prosecutor announced.

Patrick Geho, fifty -five, are experiencing charges of prostitution, after prosecutors said he was hit by the working group for trafficking in Valea Mahoning, on Friday, March 7th.

Geho responded to an undercover announcement and arranged to buy sex from some “women”, said the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.

After being arrested, the authorities said he had identified as director of public relations for Washington County. He was accused in Colombian county with the employment in prostitution and the possession of criminal tools.

The work group also arrested David Saunders, 47 years old, from which the prosecutors said he presents himself as a woman who sells online sex.

“Every day and in every field of our state, people from all points of life buy sex and not from the participants,” said Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, in a press release. “The criminal behavior of constraint and extortion feeds the demand for human trafficking and continues the cycle. Without request, traffickers have no customers and do not need victims.”

Yost says that people who try to trade money for sex contribute “to the scourge of human trafficking.”

“I’ll say it again: Don’t buy sex in Ohio,” said Yost. “If you do, you could be arrested by our working groups.”
