“[Thursday] was a banner day for the task force,” Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said. “Their commitment to wiping out the scourge of human trafficking is making a difference in the lives of the victims and having a big impact on the region.”
Jeffrey Ohl, 53, who was also arrested, works as a social studies teacher at Keystone Middle School.
Keystone Superintendent Dan White said, “Jeffrey Ohl was arrested and charged with engaging in prostitution, per a statement from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. As soon as we were made aware of the situation, Ohl was immediately suspended and is barred from District property. We are cooperating with law enforcement. Legally, we are not able to comment on ongoing police investigations.”
Seven potential victims of human trafficking were identified during the sting.
“The North Olmsted Police Department will not tolerate this type of activity in our city,” Police Chief Bob Wagner said in a press release. “We will continue to investigate and prosecute those individuals that come to our city and violate our laws. We greatly appreciate the help from our law enforcement partners and look forward to continuing this relationship in the future.”
