WINTER HAVEN, Fla. - The Polk County Sheriff's Office arrested 89 people, including a high school principal, during a week-long, online prostitution investigation.

Kathleen High School principal Cecil McClellan and an Orlando man who went to Polk County to have sex with a child were among the people arrested, authorities said.

Investigators also charged three women they say traveled to the area to make money from adult entertainment during the Republican National Convention.

The undercover investigation began on August 24 and ran through Thursday and targeted online prostitution.

The 89 people were charged with crimes ranging from soliciting prostitution and drug charges to battery on a law enforcement officer.

McClellan is now on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation.
