AKRON, Ohio — Seven women from throughout Northeast Ohio are facing charges after a prostitution sting at an Akron hotel.
All seven women pleaded not guilty during court hearings held Friday and Monday in Akron Municipal Court. They face misdemeanor prostitution charges.
Several police agencies participated in the operation Thursday at the Hilton Garden Inn on West Market Street.
All seven women are accused of offering sex acts for money to undercover officers between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. at the hotel, according to court records.
