17 Arrested in Flint-Area Child Trafficking Sting; Singer Accused of Pedophilia

By The Detroit News. Seventeen people have been arrested following an investigation into child trafficking in the Flint area, a sheriff said.

A rescue operation Friday located seven children ages 17 and under, Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson said.

A law enforcement team over five months set up six stings in which law enforcement agents posed as 13, 14, and 15-year-old children on social media sites, Swanson said.

People who then arrived at locations expecting to be able to assault those children were instead arrested, and will be prosecuted, Swanson said. He did not say which charges they are likely to face, The Flint Journal reported. (Read more from “17 Arrested in Flint-Area Child Trafficking Sting” HERE)
