Summit County Sheriff’s Office Arrests Three in Undercover Internet Child Prostitution OperationNews ReleaseDate: August 19, 2024 Contact: Sergeant Mike Schilling, michael.schilling@summitcountyco.gov, (970) 423-8947 SUMMIT COUNTY, CO — The Summit County Sheriff’s Office arrested three men on nine felonies last week during a multi-agency operation combating internet child prostitution and exploitation. The Summit County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, the Colorado Fifth Judicial District Attorney’s Office, and the Summit County 911 Center, conducted an undercover operation targeting those using the internet to solicit sex with children. During the operation, approximately one hundred people expressed an initial interest in soliciting a prostitute. Of those, around ten expressed a desire to pursue sexual acts with children. Ultimately, on August 15, 2024, three men arrived, separately and independently, at an agreed-upon location in Summit County, intending to pay for sexual acts with children. Deputies immediately arrested, transported, and booked the suspects into the Summit County Detention Facility. Summit County Sheriff Jaime FitzSimons commented on the results, stating, “While we wish these crimes didn’t occur, we know they do, and we work tirelessly to address this reality. I thank the Sheriff’s Office team and our partner agencies for the safe and successful execution of this operation.” “It’s crucial to know who your children interact with online and to talk openly about internet safety and potential dangers,” emphasized Sheriff FitzSimons. If you suspect a child is being sexually exploited, contact Summit County non-emergency dispatch at (970) 668-8600 or dial 911 in an emergency. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may also be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, via its toll-free 24-hour hotline, (800) 843-5678.
