Three arrested in undercover prostitution sting

GAINESVILLE - Three men were arrested this week as part of an undercover prostitution sting in Gainesville, and one of the suspects may be deported.

Lt. Scott Ware with Hall County's Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad said all three men were charged Wednesday with pandering when they offered undercover officers money in exchange for sexual favors.

One suspect, Jose Ricardo Sanchez-Barcanas, 30, of Buford is in trouble for possession of 10 fraudulent ID cards.

"[He had] five Social Security cards, three resident alien cards, two Georgia driver's licenses, none of which were legally issued," said Ware.

Ware said it is possible Sanchez-Barcanas could be deported, since he is in the United States illegally.

The other men arrested and charged with pandering have been identified as Roger Edsil Sweatman, 43, of Gainesville and Julio Suarez Acuna, 42, of Gainesville.
