Consequences of the Crime
The cost of engaging in illegal activities like solicitation often goes far beyond the fine or jail time. Here at Irving Weekly, after we publish the results of these IPD sting operations, we routinely receive messages from those arrested begging for their names and mugshots to be removed.
