Federal agents have rescued more than 200 sex trafficking victims, including dozens of children, and arrested more than 100 suspected human traffickers in a nationwide initiative.
The FBI announced the results Tuesday of Operation Cross Country, a targeted crackdown on sex trafficking and child exploitation that’s carried out with the help of state and local law enforcement agencies across the country.
Further, the FBI said it arrested 126 people on child sexual exploitation and trafficking offenses and also took 68 suspected human traffickers into custody. Operation Cross Country — a two-week operation that is now in its 13th year — was done in July in coordination with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
