Deputies bust man who picked up teen prostitute

King County sheriff's deputies on Monday said they arrested a man after they caught him having sex with a suspected prostitute who was just 15 years old.

Deputy Rodney Chinnick said that about 3:30 p.m. the two deputies were patrolling a bus line in Seattle, along Aurora Avenue North and North 145th Street, when they saw a young woman they believed was working as a prostitute.

The deputies watched as the suspected prostitute was picked up by a man in a 1997 Subaru Legacy, and followed.

Inside a nearby parking garage, the deputies said they saw the two engaged in a sex act, and moved in.

After determining that the suspected prostitute was underage, they contacted her family and released her to her mother.

Chinnick said having sex with anyone under 16 is rape of a child, a felony. The deputies booked the 34-year-old man into the King County Jail for investigation of child rape and committing a sexual assault.

Though the offense happened inside Seattle city limits, deputies working in the Metro Transit unit often make such arrests as part of their work patrolling the buses and transit lines.
