A multi-agency task force comprised of the Lake County Sheriff's Office, Wickliffe Police Department and the Northeast Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force arrested half a dozen people for trying to pay for sex, according to a news release from the office of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. Among those arrested was Eastlake City Council President John Meyers.
“The point of our task forces is to send a message to those who buy and sell human beings: We’re coming for you, we’re going to bust you and make sure everybody knows what you did. Don’t buy sex in Ohio!” Yost said in the news release. “Special thanks for Sheriff Leonbruno, whose office recently joined this task force and has hit the ground running.”Meyers, 47, who serves Eastlake's Ward 2 in addition to being president, has been charged with solicitation, the release states.
According to authorities, four people were identified as possible human trafficking victims and were offered help through social services.News 5 at 5 Download the News 5 Cleveland app now for more stories from us, plus alerts on major news, the latest weather forecast, traffic information and much more.
