North Fort Meyers is a census-designated place of approximately 37,000 residents, located near Fort Myers and Bonita Springs in Lee County, Florida. As in many communities in the area, city officials and local residents have reported an increase in prostitution activity in recent years. Sex trafficking is also a well-documented problem in the city and surrounding areas.
To address these issues, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office conducts periodic reverse stings. Operations are conducted both at street-level and using the internet, and the identities of all individuals arrested for prostitution-related offenses are posted on the LCSO’s website.
