ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — Eighteen people were caught in a four-day human trafficking sting in St. Petersburg over the weekend, according to police. Affidavits from the St. Petersburg Police Department detailed some of the arrests made in the undercover operation. One individual — Brandon Charles Raymond Harrison, 31, of Largo — was arrested Saturday after officers said he responded to a fake online advertisement set up by St. Petersburg police. Harrison allegedly texted a detective asking to have sex with a 15-year-old girl and 14-year-old girl in exchange for anti-psychotic medication and sleeping pills, according to police.
