More than 60 men have been arrested over the past two weeks in downtown D.C. as part of a sting operation against prostitution. Many of the arrests have occurred in Ward 2, represented by Councilmember Jack Evans, who recently proposed a bill that would require District police to impound cars that are suspected of “being used in furtherance of… a prostitution-related offense.”
