Multiple undercover sting operations across the United States were carried out this month targeting adult and child sex trafficking. The results of many of these stings netted hundreds of arrests—including doctors, pharmacists, high-level military officers, and law enforcement officers. Dozens of children were also rescued — including one as young as three months old.
“That’s the most we have ever arrested in the history of the sheriff’s office,” Sheriff Grady Judd said of his undercover operation in Polk County, Florida.
The sheriff is referring to the 277 people rounded up in “Operation No Tricks, No Treats” which started last Tuesday and ran through Monday.
According to the sheriff’s office, as reported by WFLA, 51 of the arrests were related to those who advertise as prostitutes online and 209 of the arrests were those who solicited undercover detectives posing as prostitutes. Seventeen arrests were made for other offenses.
The sheriff noted that the arrests included lawyers, doctors, pharmacists, former and current police officers, multiple men looking to have sex with children, and convicted sex offenders.
During the bust, the sheriff even nabbed a cop in his own department. Since his arrest, Sergeant Luis Diaz has resigned from the force after 17 years.

In another, far more horrifying bust, conducted by the FBI, eighty-four children were saved and 120 human traffickers were arrested.
FBI agents and task force officers staged operations in hotels, casinos, and truck stops, as well as on street corners and Internet websites, according to the release, as reported by Myrtle Beach Online. The youngest victim recovered during this year’s operation was 3 months old, and the average age of victims recovered during the operation was 15 years old, the release stated.
“Child sex trafficking is happening in every community across America, and at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, we’re working to combat this problem every day,” said NCMEC President and CEO John Clark. “We’re proud to work with the FBI on Operation Cross Country to help find and recover child victims. We hope OCC generates more awareness about this crisis impacting our nation’s children.”
“We at the FBI have no greater mission than to protect our nation’s children from harm. Unfortunately, the number of traffickers arrested — and the number of children recovered — reinforces why we need to continue to do this important work,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in the release.
It is important to note that some of these arrests included people trying to simply pay another willing adult to have sex with them.
In the Land of the Free, it is against the law to get paid to have sex, unless that sex is filmed, distributed on DVD, and taxed. One of the least talked about systems of oppression in the US is that of persecuting prostitutes.
When referencing prostitution, it is critical to point out that we are talking about the mutually beneficial exchange of sexual favors for money by two or more consenting adults; not forced human trafficking. Sadly enough, the State’s prohibition on prostitution actually fosters the underground trade of humans as it pushes the selling of sex into dark alleyways and criminal entities.
Also, what this case points out is that when it comes to the government, in general, the notion of ‘do as I say, not as I do’ rings true through every level, from the parking transit officer to the president.
Hypocrisy is a function of the State.
The citizens of the US are often reminded of this hypocrisy when members of the government commit such heinously criminal and hypocritical acts that they are cast out from their curtain of government protection.
All these cops getting busted for acts that they themselves have likely thrown people in prison for is the epitome of said hypocrisy.
Hover, human sex trafficking in the United States is a very real and horrifying problem. As the Free Thought Project has pointed out and what some of the arrests in this bust show, the monsters behind this darkness are often upstanding members of society. Through their connections within the State, they are allowed to operate these modern-day slave traders with impunity.
In case after case, the Free Thought Project reports on horrifying instances of child sex rings that were allowed to go on for decades because politicians — including heads of state — policemen, clergy, and others were all in on the sick game.
In fact, as the Netflix series, The Keepers set out to launch an investigation into a murder cold case, it soon became much deeper because of the high-level pedophilia it revealed. The story exposed a concerted effort to conceal widespread rape and sexual abuse committed by Keough school chaplain and counselor Father Joseph Maskell, as well as other clergy, police, and a local gynecologist.
On multiple occasions, the Free Thought Project has reported interviews of former child sex trafficking victims who’ve all noted that they had nowhere to go as police and high-level politicians all took place in the abuse.
Hopefully, as the government’s war on drugs continues to crumble, people will wake up to the fact that rescuing a child from a rapist is far more important than catching some dude smoking a plant. Hopefully.

a spectacle – to see middle-aged professionals in their fields (and presumably, with the trappings that go with it, financially, family, membership in fraternal or professional organisations, etc.) throw it all away for…..what?
This is why me and others are cynical on people and have few friends, living socially isolated lives the older we get.
The investigations of John DeCamp for his eye-opening book, “The Franklin Cover-Up” Aug – 2011, typically traced to the White House or high level state employees in Nebraska. “Homosexual Prostitution Inquiry Ensnares VIPs with Reagan, Bush,” was the headline in the June 29, 1989, Washington Times. Sub-headline: “Call Boys Took Midnight Tour of White House.” Also interesting is that the remaining funds from “Second Mile”, the Sandusky organization at Penn State, were transferred to a similar organization in Texas that is affiliated with George H. W. Bush. While Reagan is praised by many folk who call themselves “conservatives”, the Reagan-Bush administrations consistently violated the constitution, and established the cocaine smuggling via the Iran-Contra subversive activity. The Bush/CIA drug smuggling now provides 90% of heroine products for the USA from Afghanistan, operated by USMilitary and retired military.
NO one cares. I try engaging with people, there’s NOTHING in their heads. They just want their daily ends and leave them alone. The Social Engineers have done their job, time to put a fork in Humans, they are DONE.
Thanks for responding. Yes, it is sometimes discouraging. Some of my friends told me long ago, ” – – plz dont tell me, it bothers me to know such things “. Which, is refreshing to know that they are “bothered”. Thus, we do not give up, continuing to share reality, and occasionally find a human among the “sheep”. Congratulations to “strawberrytart” ! doc b.
when they tell you you are bothering them, the next thing is they drop you, not welcoming your calls nor taking interest in anything that affects you.
So far, that has not happened to me. I suspect that how one responds to their “rejection” has an influence on future contacts. I simply honor my friends´ requests and ignore the “rejection”. In this area, they are already “sheep” and their status does not change. Nor, my feelings toward them. Its their choice.
you give up too easy, tart! Engage with me. I’ll show plenty in my head. And I have lots of contacts across the nation…. If we could only organize to have a few “sanctuary counties” with a sheriff who would build a WELL REGULATED MILITIA via the Deputiz’m Plan, you would begin to enjoy life… and find some men who you would love to be around, day in and day out. I guarantee it.
I’m here!
[email protected] Let’s move the convo to email. Thanks.
PLEASE follow-up on this.. The arrests are great, but many are able to buy their way out of certain circumstances, make use of dual-citizenships or spend a few yrs at Club Fed. Those kids deserve justice. I hope & pray they get it.
(Talk about destroying lives. This infuriates me to no end!!):
This proves you can’t even trust those in higher positions which is why we never join anything even churches, as perps (members of churches) were arrested in my area and B’ham for underage molestation by youth ministers. Who can we really trust nowdays? Even friends (relatives) can do various immoral acts and you have to cut them out of your life. These men arrested need to be executed asap.
Washington state definitely has a pedophile/incest problem. Even talking openly & writing about pedophilia rings @ high levels, or within ones own community will get one in hot water with those involved. Its really bad within an isolated community, go ahead & talk about such activities in such a locale & see what happens as a result.
Your life then takes a turn for the worse as a “Targeted Individual” -No shortage of “perps” to harass you. You are correct in your assessment that many of them belong to local churches & parade around like Gods gift to morality, meanwhile behind closed doors they are committing unspeakable acts with children-including their own.
Pedophilia starts @ home.
I found out the hard way with my writing efforts about such local & nationwide concerns in 2011-2012. Been living on Whidbey Island since 2004. Its more than a little funny that EVERYONE seems to run around calling this place “Paradise”…Paradise for some-purgatory for others….-Sure, it has scenic/natural beauty, but what makes a place beautiful for me is the people that inhabit a geographical area. Ive definitely met more than my fair share of NASTY-ass people & gangstalk folks out here. Interesting that most of the nasty/gangstalk incidents occurred in a small, south end, sea-side “village” that is known for its “tolerance & understanding for alternative lifestyles”….;)
The perp pervs should be put in stockades for all to throw eggs and rotten tomatoes at and left their with no food or water!
I believe a single bullet to the temple would be cheaper.
Starving to death is more or less “inhumane”.
“Pete Greco” offers a more effective approach to the problem.
“We at the FBI have no greater mission than to protect our nation’s children from harm….” Yet, Hillary and Podesta remain untouchables… even with Weiner’s laptop providing all the evidence anyone could ask for. Come ON, Donald!!!!
My sentiments exactly….The FBI has been sitting on MOUNTAINS of data/evidence pertaining to high-level pedo-politicians for DECADES now!
Sometimes I think their sole job is to protect & run interference for such criminal conspiracy rings?
Sure looks like it from here….
Don’t kid yourself! Donald himself is a pervert. Look at his daughter and he, his comments about “dating” her, “sex with her…” Look at his friendship with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Look at his appointment of the corrupt prosecutor in the Epstein case, Alexander Acosta, for Secretary of Labor. You got conned, conservatives. Trump is IN ON IT. Why did “Katie Johnson’s” allegations of rape against Trump AND EPSTEIN never see the light of day? Totally covered up. Because Epstein is associated with Clinton, too, and Spacey, etc….
I was happy to read the article where he shows the hypocrisy of arresting prostitutes, but allowing sex on TV and in the movies and people paid to do it. Someone can clean toilets and get paid, but can’t offer s ex and get paid – nuts. The reason the pedophilia has not been solved with all the high level creeps going to jail is because they are mostly dems who are owned by the NWO globalists along with the corrupt media. If the media were to push society about fixing pedophilia then there would be massive outrage and the pedophiles would have no place to hide. When the NWO knows someone is a pedophile they can totally control that person – that is why there are so many in government positions.

This disgusting behavior is worldwide and is extremely massive. For what they are doing to these kids, there must be a harsher punishment like death sentences without the possibility of a life sentence. These people are anti-social and soul-less. The ones they are arresting are the lower level perps. They must go after the elites that are satanically destroying and murdering these kids. Most of the world’s governments are involved.
Virginia (including Wash. DC) has the second highest number of missing children in the US behind California. Why isn’t the DOJ and local PDs not doing anything? Is it because the elected officials involved stop it before any investigation can begin?
These people should have no rights.
Really should change your title to babies as young as 3 months. So glad about these arrests. Thank you for keeping us informed, even though it’s hard to stomach.
The Khazarian Mafia is directly involved in this matter. But they’re too damn rich and powerful to arrest.

Agree with deb – “kids” actually are goats…
We now live in a sick world controlled by evil, we have to be aware and proactive to help rid these putrid ungodly people from society, bring God and prayer back in our lives.
