A major statewide human trafficking sting results in over 100 arrests in Ohio.

Attorney General Dave Yost says dozens of law enforcement agencies participated in Operation Next Door.

One hundred thirty-five people were arrested for promoting, compelling, or engaging in prostitution and other sex crimes.

Those arrested include a Greek Orthodox priest, a former police officer, and a substitute teacher.

Yost says the arrests occurred in urban centers, suburban communities, and rural areas throughout Ohio.
