"They understand what that means when they show up and then of course they have to make the offer that they want to make in response to whatever they want to get from the person they want to see," Robinson said.

Base officials confirmed Robbins is an employee there and that they were aware of his arrest. But said they could not release any information regarding how the charges could impact his employment.

"At this point, we are monitoring the case and awaiting additional information regarding Mr. Robbins' arrest and potential charges that might be filed against him,"Daryl Mayer, chief of public affairs at the base, said in the statement. "Any administrative or employment actions that might be taken against Mr. Robbins as a result of this incident would be Privacy Act protected, and therefore not subject to release."

Others arrested in the sting include:

The sting took about a month to coordinate and was done in response to several complaints about prostitution. The investigation uncovered many "players" using Backpage.com for prostitution are living or meeting up in Riverside, Robinson said. Within minutes of posting the ad, he said police received almost two dozen responses over the phone and through Internet messaging. Officers are planning similar operations in the future.

"In Riverside, we're not going to put up with that, we're going to search you out, we're going to find you and we're going to eliminate this problem in Riverside," Robinson said.

In addition to prostitution charges, Riverside police Sgt. Rhett Close said drugs and money were seized. All of the females arrested during this operation admitted to struggling with a drug habit and using prostitution as a means to pay for continued use, he said.
