JACKSON -- Police are looking for a fifth man in an alleged child prostitution and human-trafficking ring. As of late Friday, however, authorities here would not release a name or description of the suspect.

Three of four men arrested since Sept.7 and charged with numerous felonies in connection with the case made court appearances Thursday before 9th Circuit Court Magistrate Frank Hess.

Deputy Teton County Prosecuting Attorney Brian Hultman said on Friday that a warrant for a fifth man wanted in the reported criminal ring had already been issued. Hultman told a reporter the man is wanted for charges of sexual assault in the third degree, promoting prostitution and sexual exploitation of children, all felonies.
