    STONE COUNTY, Mo. — Four men have been charged after allegedly arranging sex with minors during a human trafficking sting.

    According to a Facebook post from the Stone County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO), investigators from several law enforcement agencies teamed up for a sting operation.

    Online court documents show that during the sting, four men responded to separate sexually explicit ads online. The ads, created by law enforcement, claimed to be young girls from ages 17 to 14.

    • Dalton Lee Parton, 26, of Branson
    • Christian Diewert, 22, of Canada
    • Nayib Aldair Saldana, 26, of Little Rock

    The fourth, Mariko Kwizera, 28, of Congo, Africa, was charged with attempted enticement of a child.
