Prostitutes Dinuba

Missing Minor Case

Authorities are actively searching for a 13-year-old girl reported missing in Dinuba. She was last seen around 6 PM on the 18th. The Dinuba Police Department has launched an investigation into her disappearance.

Human Trafficking Operation

This comes amidst ongoing law enforcement efforts targeting illegal activities in the area. Recently, the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office conducted a human trafficking operation. The detail led to six arrests; one suspect was apprehended for soliciting a juvenile for sex, while others were arrested for soliciting prostitution. Three potential victims of human trafficking were rescued during this operation and offered support services.

Illegal Sex Work Crackdown

Among those arrested in recent operations were Jose Salas Ochoa, 49, of Dinuba, Enrique Alvarez Rios, 34, of Fresno, and Rene Garcia-Contreras. These operations highlight the persistent issue of illegal commercial sex work, which remains prohibited throughout California. Prostitution is illegal in every US state except Nevada, where licensed brothels operate in some counties, and Maine, which has decriminalized selling sex.

Additional Criminal Charges

The Dinuba Police Department has also recently arrested a man accused of kidnapping and raping a woman earlier in the month. Furthermore, District Attorney Tim Ward announced charges against 60-year-old Tomas Jimenez for sex crimes against four female victims. The community remains concerned about crime, including the recent disappearance of the minor and the presence of illegal activities.
