Six men were arrested this week in a child-predator sting, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office said Friday.

Instead, they met law enforcement.

The sheriff’s office said the school and church programs where two of the accused men worked have been made aware of the arrests and are cooperating with the investigation.
Detectives are concerned there may be unidentified victims of the six men, the sheriff’s office said. They ask anyone with information to call 503-846-2700.
