Paterson Prostitution Ring Crackdown

Police arrested 57 people in Paterson as part of a crackdown on prostitution. This operation stemmed from an 18-month investigation targeting an extensive prostitution ring operating within the city.

Middletown Enforcement Operations

Separately, a jury found a Middletown man guilty of rape and kidnapping. Middletown police have also been active, reporting over 30 arrests for prostitution downtown on Central Avenue in just the past month or so. Five individuals were arrested in Middletown specifically for patronizing prostitution.

Authorities in various locations, including undercover Maple Grove police, have arrested individuals soliciting prostitution, sometimes involving officers posing as sex workers; those arrested are typically released without bail pending court appearances. Mug shots of 16 people arrested in a Middletown prostitution bust were publicly released.

Ongoing Prostitution Challenges

Similar stings, like one in Orange County that led to 8 arrests and another in Delaware netting more than two dozen, highlight ongoing enforcement efforts. Police report that prostitution and related activities, sometimes linked to drug use, persist in certain areas, including along Main Street in Middletown at night. While directories listing escorts, adult entertainment, and services like Salon 657 in Middletown exist online, law enforcement continues to target illegal operations, charging individuals with practicing without a license, prostitution, and related offenses. Criminal defense lawyers in areas like Monmouth County, NJ, frequently represent those accused of solicitation. The presence of these activities and the police response remain recurring issues in these communities.
