Glass, who owns Glass Family Pizza Inc. was arrested as part of “Fall Haul 2,” an undercover sting operation led by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. Police arrested 14 other people from out-of-state.
Two trafficking victims and another five possible victims were identified during the sting. All victims and prostitutes were offered services by social services organizations at the operation, deputies said.
“The online prostitution industry enables traffickers and allows for the continued victimization of those who are being trafficked,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said in a release. “Our goal is to identify victims, offer them help, and arrest those who are fueling the exploitation of human beings (johns) and those profiting from the exploitation of human beings.”
Officials said there were 419 previous felonies and 619 previous misdemeanors among those arrested. Detectives found heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, ecstasy and marijuana during the sting.
