Three men were arrested this week in Yavapai County in connection with child sex trafficking.
According to the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, PANT (Partners Against Narcotics Trafficking) Detectives arrested Edgar Jesus Martinez from Prescott Valley, Brennan McGuire from Phoenix, and James Price from Prescott in three different cases for attempting to meet young females in exchange for money.
Detectives discovered James had been sending explicit pictures to a young girl and agreed to meet with her.
Brennan McGuire agreed to meet with the juvenile in exchange money for sex acts, and Martinez also attempted to meet with a young female for sex acts in exchange for money.
Charges on the men include, child sex trafficking, and aggravated luring of a minor.
“These cases are an example of YCSO’s strong stance and continued pursuit to stop child trafficking. Adults who target kids for sex should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” said Sheriff David Rhodes.
