Three men are facing charges after they were caught up in a Waukesha prostitution sting.

The men charged Wednesday in are Felipe N. Sanchez Sanchez, 35, of Milwaukee, Jose A. Hernandez, 35, of West Allis, and Brent E. Barg, 43, of Elm Grove. Each are faced with one count of patronizing prostitutes, which carries a maximum sentence of nine months in jail and $10,000 in fines if convicted

According to the criminal complaints, Waukesha police netted the three men in a Dec. 29 sting operation where undercover officers placed ads online in order to bust men looking to have sex in exchange for money. After setting up the deals, the men would meet what they thought was a prostitute at a Waukesha hotel where they were arrested.
