An anti-prostitution sting conducted by the Corpus Christi Police Department’s Narcotics and Vice Investigations Division Wednesday afternoon resulted in the apprehension of seven men on charges of solicitation of prostitution, a state jail felony punishable by up to two years in state jail and fines up to $10,000. The men were arrested after they solicited an undercover CCPD Officer, posing as a prostitute, for sex acts in exchange for money. The operation targeted several north and west side neighborhoods plagued by prostitution. The operation was slightly hampered by an unidentified woman who began warning prospective “clients” that the women posing as prostitutes were actually undercover police officers. Nevertheless, the operation was quite successful.

NVID Detectives were assisted in the operation by Directed Patrol and Operations Division Officers, as well as civilians with the Red Cord Initiative. The Red Cord Initiative is a prostitution diversion program aimed to provide practical and emotional support for those involved in prostitution. The program is successful due to the collaboration between the Coastal Bend Wellness Foundation, social service organizations, Nueces County District Attorney Office, and the Corpus Christi Police Department. The program affords those involved with sex work an opportunity to address the myriad of behavioral, social, and psychological problems they have faced throughout their lifetime. Since 2013, Red Cord has provided case management, health services, job training, substance abuse treatment, clothing, housing, counseling, and other social services needed to address the circumstances related to their involvement in prostitution. Participants who successfully complete the program have their cases dismissed by the District Attorney’s Office.

All seven of the men apprehended during Wednesday’s operation agreed to attend a voluntary prostitution diversion education program at their expense. This program educates men about the negative consequences of prostitution, circumstances that may lead someone to purchase sex, and the impact they have on the individual they attempt to solicit sex from in exchange for money. The fees raised from this program are then used to provide some of the resources mentioned above, to assist women seeking to escape the bondage of prostitution. The Red Cord initiative receives no government funding and is supported entirely through donations. To learn more, volunteer or donate, citizens can visit the Coastal Bend Wellness foundation at http://www.cbwellness.org.

Although often inaccurately referred to as a “victimless” crime, prostitution is inextricably linked to multiple other crimes including assault, human trafficking, sexual abuse, drug abuse, and the spread of sexually transmitted infectious disease. Neighborhoods where prostitution is prevalent experience a drastic degradation of the quality of life that citizens expect and deserve. The Corpus Christi Police Department will continue to collaborate with all government and private entities to combat prostitution and help accomplish our mission of working with the community to reduce crime, reduce the fear of crime and enhance public safety.

On Thursday May 23, 2024, at approximately 03:05 AM, Corpus Christi Police Officers were dispatched to the 700 block of Lansdown Dr in reference to a shooting call.

The preliminary information at this time is there was a disturbance that escalated into a shooting. 30-year-old Ashlyn Orr was arrested and booked in the city detention center. Orr will be charged with murder.  

This is an active investigation, if you have any information, please contact detectives at 361-886-2840 or if you wish to remain anonymous, 888-TIPS.

On Monday May 20, 2023 at 12:04PM, Corpus Christi Police Officers were called to 1400 N Shoreline Blvd in reference to a body located in the water.
