POLK COUNTY- 38 men were arrested in an online undercover Polk County sting for attempting to engage in sexual acts with minors.

The suspects include a man who is already registered as a sex offender and another man who is a 5th grade public school teacher and a youth soccer coach.

During the sting, undercover detectives posted fake ads and profiles on various websites pretending to be children or custodians of children.

Many of the men drove to a house to meet children for sex, but were met by detectives instead.
