Eight men were arrested during a prostitution sting operation in Santa Barbara County.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s detectives placed an online ad inferring that a woman was offering sexual services at a Santa Maria motel. Investigators say the men offered payment, so when they showed up at the motel they were arrested.

Five men were arrested on solicitation of prostitution charges. Three others face additional charges as well.
