ELYRIA, Ohio — Elyria City Councilman Mark Jessie has pleaded
not guilty following his arrest as part of a massive human
trafficking sting in the state of Ohio.

Jessie was arraigned Wednesday on charges of soliciting, a third-
degree misdemeanor that carries a potential penalty of 60 days
in jail. Elyria Municipal Court prosecutors specified the
alleged crimes occurred online back on Sept. 30.

Jessie was one of 161 people arrested this week as part of
"Operation Ohio Knows," with all involved accused of seeking to
buy sex. In addition, state investigators also recovered 10
missing children.
