A Texas man is facing 42 charges for allegedly operating a sex trade that went on for more than a year in Central Virginia, according to Henrico Police. Brian Johnson, who currently works at a church according to court documents, was indicted Wednesday on 23 counts of recruiting people into unlawful sex and 19 counts of receiving money in exchange.
Henrico Police said it conducted an investigation on May 1 to locate people who work within the commercial sex trade.
Detectives found an online ad on an escort website that brought them to a hotel in the 3900 block of Westerre Parkway, right off West Broad Street near Short Pump.
That's where police said they found Johnson.
