Two recent arrests by a human trafficking task force underscore the diverse backgrounds of those who attempt to trade money for sex, contributing to the scourge of human trafficking in Ohio.
On March 6, the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force, in conjunction with the Salem Police Department, arrested Canton resident David Saunders, 47, who was posing as a woman selling sex online. Saunders, a convicted felon, has an extensive criminal background and is currently on probation for aggravated burglary and felonious assault. He was charged with solicitation, possession of criminal tools, driving under suspension and possession of drug paraphernalia.
On March 7, the task force arrested Patrick Geho, 55, of Washington, Pennsylvania, who responded to an undercover ad and arranged to purchase sex from some “females.” Upon arrest, Geho identified himself as the director of public relations for Washington County, Pennsylvania. He was charged in the Columbiana County Municipal Court with engaging in prostitution and possession of criminal tools.
