Within six hours, investigators received 40 responses by email, text and voice calls. Seven people showed up at an arranged meeting β and they were arrested, South Burlington police said. The ad, which police said was similar to others posted on the site, was placed by an undercover officer.
The female was a law enforcement officer. Police said the clients were told to meet at the Anchorage Inn, which agreed to participate in the sting. Seven men went to the Dorset Street hotel with intent to engage in sexual activity with a prostitute, police said. Once an officer determined the man was the same person who had responded to the ad, the suspect was taken into custody.
