CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Clarksville Police Department’s Special Operations Unit recently conducted a two-day prostitution sting targeting those who provide or solicit sexual services in exchange for money using a website called SKIPTHEGAMES.com.
An ad was posted online and the individuals who answered or placed the ad negotiated various prices for the services and agreed to meet an undercover officer at a designated location.
Police say prostitution is often linked to other crimes such as robbery, assault, drugs, and human trafficking.
