About two weeks ago, we told you how Bakersfield Police are cracking down on prostitution on Union Avenue. Officers have made nearly 200 arrests, in nine prostitution stings since August.

Four of those stings were within the last two months.

Local business owners we spoke with in the area say it's helped bring families back to their establishments.

Most of the people were arrested in those stings for solicitation of prostitution and we now have the names of the johns and the alleged prostitutes.

We filed a public records request with the Bakersfield Police department to get those names.

I know these people have done wrong and they will face justice. But its a shame on KGET to actually seek out those names to embarrass people. What is really going to benefit from this? Sure you may find certain people on here you know, maybe clergy. But in the bigger picture, kids and wives will get a big share in the embarrassment as well. How does anyone really know how much a family or "John" "Prostitute" has cried over this. Maybe this experience in their life has radically changed their direction? I know there MIGHT be a little benefit from knowing "Who" but at stake is the reputation of the whole family. Real People with real feelings. So why not let the courts deal with the people involved and let the family's get on with their healing. Why go out of your way to set up on big screen everyone's embarrassments? I used to think the people on the news were generally caring people because they come off kind of nice but after knowing these people just HAD to put everyone out there I can see that they can't tell the effects this could have on the innocent people more than the guilty ones...I guess its just all about news instead of people I guess.

Bella, they do publish the names, addresses and photos of child molesters. They have done this for a few years now. www.meganslaw.ca.gov/

It is sad that they don't feel the need to publish the names of child predators or rapists, but they always want to publish the names and addresses of sex workers. This is HORRIFIC that the media is willing to put the lives of sex workers at risk by publishing their real names and addresses so serial killers can stalk and murder them. SHAME ON THE MEDIA.

Nikki, there's repeat offenders in that lists. Even with prior stings the lists of offenders doesn't shrink. RV is right, as old as dirt.

So sad that we have the young girls selling their body's. There is so much more to life, hopefully this sting will point these young girls in the right direction.

rvlady, you don't care if one of the "johns" arrested is your pastor, one of your elected officials, a news reporter, or a family member? I guess you live by the old saying, "ignorance is bliss."
