California børnesex forbrydelser feje anholdelser 141 mennesker på syv dage på tværs af fem amter, og taskforcen har ikke sat farten ned

Californiens myndigheder meddelte, at de havde anholdt 141 mennesker på syv dage i et nedslag, de kaldte Operation Beskyt Innocenten. 66 agenturer arbejdede i fem amter. Los Angeles regionale internetkriminalitet mod børn kørte det fra 6. september til 12. september 2022.

The LAPD said the goal was to work CyberTips, identify suspects, and check people already on probation or parole. Detectives served warrants at homes in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties. Of the 141 arrests, 110 were tied to child-sexual-abuse-material offenses. The rest included pimping, statutory rape, child sex abuse, and parole violations. An arrest is a charge, not a conviction. Defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

Embedsmænd fortalte forældre at se, hvem deres børn taler med online. Det nationale center for forsvundne og udnyttede børns NetSmartz program er stadig standard gratis pensum.

Den samme taskforce, et større net

The Los Angeles Regional ICAC Task Force did not treat 141 arrests as a one-off. Between April 6 and April 19, 2025, the same five counties were the grid for “Operation Spring Cleaning.” Investigators arrested 265 alleged child predators and said they rescued 27 children. Phase one was undercover work on social platforms. Phase two was residential and arrest warrants for production and distribution of CSAM, online exploitation, and trafficking.

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said the point was to pull predators off the internet and pull children out of abuse. Officials noted many of the 265 suspects “held positions of trust” and worked jobs that put them next to children. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said the operation’s name was too gentle. Some of the 2025 arrests were tied to 764, an online exploitation network known for coercing children into producing explicit material and harming themselves. More than 108 agencies took part. About 1,000 parents and children sat through internet-safety training next to the enforcement work.

En føderal uge med samme mål

In early May 2025 the Justice Department and FBI announced Operation Restore Justice: five days, all 55 FBI field offices, 205 arrests, 115 children recovered. Several of those arrests were in California. Charges included production, distribution, and possession of CSAM, online enticement, transportation of minors, and child sex trafficking.

CyberTips hober sig op. Task forces bruger en uge på at banke på døre. Det næste år er tallet højere.

Forældre, der ønsker et praktisk næste skridt kan bruge NetSmartz med deres børn og rapportere mistanke udnyttelse til 1-800- THE- LOST (1-800- 843- 5678). Anholdelsen på 7 dage i 2022 var ikke en finale. Det var en basislinje.
