Rye is a city in Westchester County, New York with a population of approximately 17,000. It is separate from the town of Rye, which has a larger land area than the city. Prostitution and sex trafficking are well-documented problems in the city. Police have conducted both street-level and web-based reverse stings to arrest sex buyers, and have disseminated the identities of the men arrested. For example, in November, 2007, an undercover action precipitated by an advertisement in Craigslist brought the arrest on New York prostitution charges of several men who responded to an advertisement for prostitution in Rye.
