According to a recent report in the Houston Chronicle , the Houston hotel with the most prostitution arrests from Jan. It had 83 arrests in the last several years. Many of the hotels are where Houston police officers often conduct prostitution sting operations, coordinated with the hotels. The Hyatt Regency Houston cooperated with Houston PD by providing rooms for undercover police to conduct training or engage in sex stings.
Other hotels also cooperated with police in advance of sting operations, HPD says. Such stings are believed to be motivated in part by the current near-hysteria over human trafficking. Though some prostitutes might be illegal immigrants pressed into the sex trade, many are simply women who choose prostitution on their own. That may make for a nicer work environment β not just for prostitutes but also the police β but a crime is a crime, regardless of where it occurs.
But usually such arrests occur on surrounding streets rather than at the hotel or motel itself.
