HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- It was a prostitution sting of a different kind in Huntington Thursday afternoon: a female police officer posed as a prostitute.
Police arrested five men who they say broke the law and asked for sex in exchange for money.
It took just two hours for police to find the accused "johns." Officers say the men were tape recorded asking an undercover female police officer for sex.
Here are the named of the five accused:
+ Henry Clark, 46 of Huntington
+ Michael Rogers, 35 of Huntington
+ Ernest Smith, 54 of Barboursville
+ Cody Hinkle, 19 of Chesapeake, Ohio
+ Reverend Calvin Perry of Kenova
All five men faced a city judge for their arraignment. Those who pleaded not guilty will have a trial.
Police say all five men were charged with soliciting for prostitution and Michael Rogers was also charged with indecent exposure.
During this undercover operation, police say even though they arrested five people, several other men in cars were swarming around like "vultures."
The areas targeted for the undercover sting were in the Fairfield West area and the corner of 4th Street and 6th Avenue.

Hey! I do not know what the situation is and I do not care. I know that God forgives us even before we sin. I saw this story on the news a few months ago, and I thought it was a shame everyone was trying to run that preacher through the mud. I would be careful if I where you guys, cause because your sins on day may be broadcasted for everyone to know. EVERYONE SINS, we just pick ourselves up nd keep trying to serve God to best of our human ability.

Jimmy Swaggart was supposedly a great man of God too. He finally had to admit he did it. If it's on tape, that's all she wrote. I don't think "let's do it" is referring to bible study.

Just wanted to say Thank You to Amanda, Jennifer, Donna, Pattsie,Chris, and others whether you gave your name or not in all your support for my dad. God knows who you are ,anonymous or not for your comments good or bad. I'm sure that God knows all of your hearts too and we all have to answer to God and be judged for our wrongs when the time comes because we all make mistakes one way or another for none of us are perfect but GOD. Remember this before you are quick to judge someone before you know all the facts and the whole truth. I continue to pray daily for my dad and mom to give them strength to recover in this matter and appreciate all of your support whoever you are. May God Bless and pray that his will be done. We Love You Dad and Mom and will be in our thoughts and prayers always. Love, Dreama and Family
