Deputies with the Stone County Sheriff’s Office are holding four men in custody for their alleged attempted involvement in sex trafficking.
Investigators say they created a sting operation, advertising sexually explicit content with young girls age 14-17.
The operation ended with four men being charged. Three of the men were charged with second-degree attempted sex trafficking:
- 26-year-old Dalton Parton of Branson
- 22-year-old Christian Diewert of Canada
- 26-year-old Nayib Saldana of Little Rock
A fourth man, 28-year-old Mariko Kwizera from the Congo, was charged with enticement of a child.
All four men are being held in the Stone County Jail without bond.
