Operation Better Pathways took place between March 5th and 27th in both San Diego and nearby National City in what was described as "areas known for sexual exploitation."
"During the operation," a press release from the AG's office said, "law enforcement personnel conducted targeted surveillance of areas known for sexual exploitation in San Diego and National City, utilizing various investigative techniques to directly identify and stop alleged human trafficking and sexual exploitation in real time.
"Simultaneously, law enforcement went after sex buyers by posing as individuals offering sex for sale at those same locations. Sex buyers were then generally directed to an alternate location and arrested."
