Solano County Man, Brother Arrested During Prostitution Sting, Charged with Pimping

SOLANO COUNTY, CA -- Two Bay Area brothers, including one from Fairfield, have been charged with pimping after being arrested as part of a prostitution sting on Jan. 13, police in the Sonoma County city of Rohnert Park say.

The case began when in an attempt to locate minors and other victims of human trafficking, Rohnert Park officers contacted people who were advertising services on the internet. One woman agreed to meet the undercover officer and provide a sex act in exchange for money.

When she arrived she told officers that she was brought there by two subjects who were located by other officers and placed under arrest for pimping/pandering. One of the subjects also had an outstanding felony warrant for narcotics sales.

The two subjects were identified as Brandon and Leon Walker, 26 and 40-year-old brothers from the cities of Fairfield and Richmond, respectively. Both subjects were booked into Sonoma County Jail.

The female victim in this case was not charged with any crimes and was given assistance by the officers.

January is Human Trafficking Awareness month. If you believe sex trafficking is occurring at any location, or if you believe someone you know is involved in the sex trafficking trade please contact your local law enforcement agency or advocacy group for assistance.

Questions regarding this particular case can be directed to Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety Investigations Sergeant Jeff Justice at (707) 584-2630.
