Police detectives posing as customers on internet websites contacted alleged prostitutes who appeared to look under 18 years old, Fairfield police Detective Kathryn McCormick said.

After agreeing on a price for sex acts, the suspected prostitutes went to a Fairfield residence where they were taken into custody on Saturday, April 1. Efforts were made to determine if the women were victims of human trafficking, and a victims' advocate offered resources to the women, McCormick said.
