During a reverse prostitution sting, Thursday, Franklin Police Flex Officers and Vice Detectives charged three suspects in a “John” sting. Utilizing an Internet site frequented by Johns and prostitutes, undercover officers arranged to meet the suspects who were seeking sex for hire.

2. Surendra Kumar of Brentwood | Patronizing Prostitution
3. Charles Griffeth of Goodlettsville | Patronizing Prostitution
