Super Bowl XIX

1/30 UPDATE: Fourteen more busts in Tampa

JANUARY 28--Since it is Super Bowl week in Tampa, the local cops are cracking down on hookers working from area hotels, street corners, private residences, and massage parlors.

As seen on the following pages, 19 suspects-aged 19 to 53--have been nabbed since Monday, with each arrestee posing for a mug shot at the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. (19 pages)
