Prostitution has plagued the Midtown community for 30 years or more, according to resident Peggy Denby, president of the Midtown Ponce Security Alliance.

Kreher said prostitutes often are involved in drug activity and crimes including aggravated assault. Thursday night, one man arrested for prostitution got so angry he kicked out an interior door of the prisoner transport vehicle.

Female police officers dressed as prostitutes walked Ponce Friday night to target the corridor. The women hung around places such as the Ponce de Leon Hotel, as well as along the dead-end street behind the Zesto Drive In.

Another hotspot for prostitution is around Piedmont Avenue and 3rd, 4th and Juniper streets. Denby said most of the prostitutes there are transgender people. She lived at 6th and Juniper streets and has dozens of photos of scantily-clad transgender people soliciting for sex in the area.
