Cleric among 13 arrested in Denton County sting targeting online solicitation of minors

Thirteen men, including a cleric who was also employed at the University of North Texas, were arrested last week in a two-day sting operation targeting people thought to be using the internet to solicit minors for sex.

The operation took place Jan. 23 and 24. Eleven of the men were arrested in places they agreed to meet children, and two others who didn't show up for prearranged meetings were arrested on warrants, Denton County Sheriff Tracy Murphree said Wednesday in a written statement.
