The escort and the man arranging the time to meet find themselves caught up in a sting operation where the escort was really an undercover police officer employed by the Orange or Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, Orlando Police Department, or Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation in the Orlando, Osceola, or Central Florida area.
