Authorities in Marin County in conjunction with multiple agencies have arrested two men for allegedly attempting to engage in paid sex as part of an investigation into human trafficking, the San Rafael Police Department said.
Simeon Ramirez-Lopez, 25, of San Rafael, was booked into the Marin County Jail on suspicion of arranging to meet a minor for sex. Police allege he was communicating with what he thought was a 15-year-old child.
The arrests were the result of Operation Cross Country, an initiative launched by the FBI to root out sex trafficking, especially of minors. San Rafael and Novato police, the Marin County Sheriff's Office, the Central Marin Police Authority and the Marin County District Attorney's Office were all part of the operation.
