Too bad public hangings are no longer done in cases such as this.
i’m afraid this is a case of sensationalist reporting. There was a human trafficking operation going on, and it let to an ordinary prostitution sting. Most all of those arrested were for simple prostitution and soliciting, including the preacher (as of my original reading back when it happened). They responded to Backpage ads and when they showed up to meet their prostitute they got busted. Makes a nice headline though.
Any douche who traffics in children, needs to swing from a long rope on a tall tree.
