On January 28, 2026, the East Metro Human Trafficking Task Force (EMHTTF) conducted a covert operation designed to combat the demand-side of persons who seek to purchase commercial sex acts from minor children. An undercover (UC) law enforcement officer posts an advertisement on a known commercial sex website or social media application where known commercial sex acts are brokered. The advertisement stated, "I'm available for INCALL. I'll take you for a very wet ride (squirt emoji)." In call is an industry term signifying a prostitution date at the sex workers home or current location.
The advertisement listed rate of $200 for an hour, $150 for 30 minutes, and $100 for a quick visit. The advertisement listed full service, which is an industry term for sexual intercourse. Law enforcement used "decoy" pictures depicting a known adult female who may appear to be underage. A contact phone number is listed on the advertisement. On January 28, 2026, an individual with a telephone number ending in 2037 initiated a text conversation with the UC using the number on the advertisement. Detectives later learned the phone number belonged to CHRISTOPHER JAMES KOHN, [DOB REDACTED]. Kohn stated that he would pay for "two pops and gfe." Two pops means that Kohn wanted to ejaculate twice and have the sex worker act like his girlfriend.
Kohn stated that he would pay $300. The UC told Kohn that she was 16 years of age. Kohn responded, "How can you prove you're not the cops? I'm cool just don't want trouble." Kohn then asked for photos and an address. Kohn arrived at the apartment and was arrested in the parking lot. Officers located $300 in his car. Kohn is out of custody.
