EVERETT, Wash. — Two Bellingham men are among seven arrested in a Snohomish County sting aimed at those who use the internet to sexually victimize children.

The State Patrol arrested 25-year-old Nicolas Jerman and 38-year-old Eric R. Orth during its “Operation Net Nanny.”

The other five men arrested are from Arlington, Everett, Monroe and Seattle.

It was the 18th operation by the Patrol’s Missing and Exploited Children Task Force which has caught almost 300 offenders and rescued 31 children since 2015.

Anyone with more information about those arrested are asked to contact the Task Force.
