Six men from across the Bay Area, including a high school teacher, were arrested for child exploitation following a sting operation where police posed as teens on social media, prosecutors said Friday.

According to Contra Costa County District Attorney Diana Becton's office, the men were arrested between Feb. 26 and Mar. 7 as part of 'Operation Broken Heart', which aimed to find people who were seeking to exploit minors for sex acts. 'Operation Broken Heart is an example of how the District Attorney's Office and law enforcement work together in making Contra Costa County safer from those who engage in criminal acts to harm children,' Becton said in a statement.

In the other cases, the suspects allegedly chatted with the undercover officers and were arrested as they showed up at locations in Danville to meet the purported teens.The remaining suspects have been identified as 44-year-old James Paul Walsh of Hayward, 59-year-old Alexander Derrick Hellmund of Concord, 45-year-old Elmer Desiderio Ramirez-Lucha of Pittsburg, 27-year-old Mahmut Guzelsu of Benicia, and 27-year-old Brady Allen Godsey-Lally of Brentwood.
