Dozens of people are accused of selling drugs on LGBTQ dating apps, authorities in Florida say.
Detectives with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office alleged that 52 people used three apps — Grindr, Scruff and Taimi — to sell methamphetamines, cocaine, fentanyl, marijuana and other drugs, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
Marijuana was the most commonly sold drug, with investigators buying nearly a pound and a half through online sales, the sheriff’s office said. Meth, at 280 grams, was second. Grindr, which describes itself as the world's largest social networking app for the LGBTQ community, saw more sales than the other two apps, the sheriff’s office said.previously accused the company
Judd said in a statement that his office had asked for the companies' cooperation and is working with them to “raise awareness” about the illicit sales.
