Three Arizona men arrested for suspected child sex trafficking

YAVAPAI COUNTY, AZ (AZFamily) — Three men were arrested in Yavapai County this week for allegedly trying to solicit sex from young girls.

Detectives with Partners Against Narcotics Trafficking (PANT) this week arrested Edgar Jesus Martinez of Prescott Valley, Brennan McGuire of Phoenix and James Price of Prescott on charges of child sex trafficking and aggravated enticement of a minor.

Yavapai County Sheriff David Rhodes said Price sent explicit photos to a young girl and agreed to meet her.

Sheriff Rhodes said McGuire and Martinez both agreed to meet a young girl and exchange money for sexual acts.

“These cases are an example of the YCSO’s strong stance and ongoing commitment to stopping child sex trafficking,” Sheriff Rhodes said in a press release about the arrests. “Adults who solicit children for sex should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Arizona’s family has requested mugshots of the men from the sheriff’s office.
