An undercover anti-human trafficking operation conducted by the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office led to the arrest of a 24-year-old man for pimping.
Brandon Sena, a Sacramento resident, was arrested Thursday, Nov. 12, after a 10-hour sting that led law enforcement to a Millbrae hotel. Deputies solicited acts of prostitution via the Internet in the hopes of locating victims of human trafficking, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Sena, the primary suspect, as well as three prostitutes were arrested as a result of the sting. Sena was on probation and has a lengthy criminal history for robbery, participating in a criminal street gang, felony assault with a firearm and shooting into an inhabited dwelling, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Sena was arrested when he was caught dropping off his 18-year-old girlfriend at the hotel after she agreed to acts of prostitution with an undercover investigator. Further investigation revealed Sena had been pimping his girlfriend at other locations throughout the Bay Area, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Anyone with information about human trafficking is encouraged to contact Detective Kevin Giovannoni at (650) 802-4287 or the anonymous tip line at (800) 547-2700.
