Rodney Ruark.
Detectives went undercover before making the arrests, netting 24 women and three transsexuals ranging from ages 19 to 57, Ruark said. Those arrested were mostly from New Jersey, including Atlantic City, Absecon, Mays Landing and Pleasantville. Some of the women came from as far away as Texas and California.
