Coral Gables is a city southwest of Miami, Florida, with a population of approximately 49,000. Cases of “rampant” prostitution and sex trafficking have been reported in the community for decades, and residents have complained to police about these activities. Local law enforcement agencies have employed demand-reduction tactics to curtail commercial sex activity. For example, in 2003, police arrested eight people in a prostitution sting, which was launched after authorities received a tip about workers at two massage parlors possibly soliciting sex. The two-month investigation found that female workers offered to perform sexual acts on undercover detectives, but the detectives refused. Male customers were paying up to $200 for sex, police said. Officers seized cash, documents, and surveillance video from a hidden camera inside one of the businesses. The eight people arrested were not identified. They face charges of solicitation of prostitution, sexual misconduct while performing a massage, and performing massages without a license. The owner of one brothel was also arrested and charged with operating a massage establishment without a license and employing other individuals in an unlicensed massage establishment. In 2007, a veteran male police officer with the Coral Gables Police Department was arrested after soliciting sex from a female “police informant” working with CGPD officers. Following his arrest, the man’s identity was disclosed to the public.
