Police said one of the suspects was already on federal probation for trafficking a minor.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Eleven men were arrested in January for soliciting a prostitute along Philips Highway, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

JSO made the announcement Wednesday on social media and said the arrests were made during an undercover prostitution sting operation.

Police said one of the suspects, 50-year-old Gregory Hodge, was already on federal probation for trafficking a minor.

“We want to remind you that prostitution funds and fuels #HumanTrafficking,” JSO wrote on social media. “Most women in prostitution don’t want to be there—and most are desperate to escape.”

All the men were charged with soliciting prostitution, a first-degree misdemeanor.

The following men were arrested:

  1. Leonardo Cristancho
  2. Roy Taylor
  3. Eugenio Marques Porfirio
  4. Kumar Speicher
  5. Deandre Hudson
  6. Cedric Malone
  7. Virjul Fleurant
  8. Ulder Alonso Zunzunegui
  9. Saveon Wilcox
  10. Calvin Harris
  11. Gregory Hodge
