Posted
Volusia County, FL - 5 people were arrested in a backpage.com prostitution enforcement operation on Thursday. According to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office (VCSO), the undercover operation targeted prostitutes who advertise in the escort section of the website backpage.com. The operation resulted in the arrest of 3 women and 2 men who were charged as accomplices for driving women to the meeting location knowing they were planning to engage in the exchange of sex for money. The VCSO reports the following: The prostitute enforcement operation was led by the Sheriff's narcotics detectives in the West Volusia Narcotics Task Force, which is a multi-agency task force comprised of detectives from the Sheriff's Office and the Ormond Beach, South Daytona and New Smyrna Beach police departments. Once the appointment was made by the women, they were instructed to meet what they thought were customers at a local hotel. But they actually met undercover detectives and were arrested as soon as the sex-for-money deal was negotiated. In 1 case, the defendant's cousin drove her to the hotel because she promised to pay him $40. Another man drove 1 of the women to the hotel because she owed him money, the VCSO said.

The defendants and their charges are as follows:

Jason Bobbitt, 33, Oklahoma Charged with deriving support or proceeds from prostitution.

Desiree Hansen, 22, DeLand Charged with offer to commit prostitution/lewd act.

Milton Oglesby, age 54, Orange City Charged with deriving support or proceeds from prostitution, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana under 20 grams, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license.
