ארה"ב: מבצע מעצרים גדול נגד עברייני מין בילדים

Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of 205 alleged child sex predators in Operation Restore Justice. NTD's Arlene Richards has more. The Department of Justice on Wednesday announced the results of Operation Restore Justice, a coordinated enforcement effort to identify, track and arrest child sex predators. Attorney General Pam Bondi laying out the results. We are proud to announce the results of the FBI's Operation Restore Justice initiative. This historic, unprecedented nationwide operation led to the arrest of 205 child sex predators. Unbelievable. In just five days. This was an incredible operation done in conjunction with the FBI and our prosecutors. Children and their families now have a chance to heal. These are online predators. Think about this. A hundred and fifteen victims, victims, children, in five days we were able to help. This kind of work takes a toll on the FBI agents and the prosecutors who are doing this every single day. They are working tirelessly online, dealing with the drugs of our society, the worst of the worst, the people that hide behind a computer and target our young children every single day. In addition to online predators, the operation arrested others around the country accused of various crimes against children, including transportation of minors and child sex trafficking. FBI Director Kash Patel giving a huge thanks to the men and women in law enforcement working on these cases. He gave examples of the predators who were arrested. People in places of public trust have violated not only the law, but that public trust to include teachers, law enforcement personnel and other professionals that we look to safeguard our children have not only violated the law, but violated the trust. In Minneapolis, defendant Jeremy Francis Plonsky, a Minneapolis state trooper and former Army reservist, was arrested for producing child sexual abuse material while in uniform. Not anymore. In Norfolk, Virginia, defendant Jose Alexis Valdez Sosa, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, again, allegedly arrested for transporting a minor across state lines. He said every child deserves to grow up free from fear and exploitation. All 55 FBI field offices, the child exploitation and obscenity section in the department's criminal division and United States attorney's offices around the country took part in the effort over a period of five days. In closing, Bondi said children are being taken advantage of and we have to stop it. But what I will tell you is these depraved human beings, if convicted, will face the maximum penalty in prison, some life. We will find you, we will arrest you and we will charge you. If you are online targeting a child, you will not escape us. The FBI and the Department of Justice will come after you and we will prosecute you. Arlene Richards, NTD News.
