“Several customers [who were] present onsite” were also arrested, according to the force.

He is facing seven charges, including recruiting a person to provide sexual services in exchange for payment, recruiting a minor for the same purpose, luring a person under the age of 18, transmitting sexually explicit materials to a minor, selling substances on the prescription drug list, advertising sexual services and breach of conditions.
