MIAMI — Miami police said they arrested five men from Broward and Miami-Dade counties on Wednesday night in an undercover child sex trafficking sting.
Police said they conducted the sting at an undisclosed hotel with the help of the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office Human Trafficking Task Force.
According to arrest reports, detectives posted an online advertisement posing as the mother of two girls, aged 13 and 15, and told those responding that they “were available for sexual services in exchange for money.”
Authorities said they arranged meetings with the men to pay for sex with one or both of the girls and arrested them after they entered the hotel room.
Police said they arrested the following suspects on child sex trafficking and computer crimes charges:
- Josue Donis Castanon, 20, of Fort Lauderdale
- Edgardo Arturo Donaire, 49, of Miramar
- Roberto Antonio Guido Rojas, 38, of Miami
- Miles Simyon, 22, of Sweetwater
- Marvin Geovanny Torres, 43, of southwest Miami-Dade
Investigators specifically noted that Torres brought along more than a dozen condoms, several lubricants and lotions as well as multiple sexual objects, including “bondage” items.
“He kept repeating, in Spanish, ‘I knew it,’ ‘I knew,’ ‘I knew that it was this,’” a detective wrote in Torres’ arrest report.
Castanon, a Guatemalan national; Donaire and Torres, both Honduran nationals; Guido Rojas, a Nicaraguan national; and Simyon, a Botswanan national, were all being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center as of Thursday afternoon.
Castanon and Guido Rojas additionally have immigration holds.
