WORCESTER, MA — Worcester police hosted a second prostitution sting in Main South on Feb. 19, this time arresting four men seeking to buy sex, police said.

On Feb. 12, Worcester police mounted a sting in Main South and arrested six men. The sting happened after neighbors complained about "aggressive" men trying to buy sex in the neighborhood, police said.

On Wednesday night, an undercover Worcester officer posed as a prostitute, and then arrested men who solicited sex. Four men were charged with offering to pay for sexual conduct: Worcester residents Ameen Hussam, 27, and Erick Martinez, 18; Adam Demalia, 18, of West Boylston; and Thomas Blaik, 65, of Baltimore, Md.
