The Harris County sting, which led to Hendricks arrest, accounted for 178 overall arrests.

"I’m exceedingly proud to lead the nation in targeting sex buyers and traffickers during this annual initiative," Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a statement, per Perez. "Houston was home to Super Bowl LI. As we welcomed the world to our City, we made it clear that there is no place for victimization and sexual exploitation."

Hendricks and his brother, Alan, founded Hendricks Sports Management in 1970 and have represented such high-profile clients as former MLB pitcher Roger Clemens and current New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman, among others.
