DOJ Erases Child Sex Trafficking Information From Website

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice quietly removed significant portions of its page on child sex trafficking, including information on “International Sex Trafficking of Minors,” “Domestic Sex Trafficking of Minors,” and “Child Victims of Prostitution.”

While it is unclear what prompted the revisions, conservatives pointed to the changes as a sign the Biden administration is not taking crimes surrounding child exploitation seriously.

“For some reason, people on the Left get really uncomfortable and defensive talking about child sexual exploitation,” said Heritage Foundation Vice President of Domestic Policy Roger Severino, who called the move typical of Democratic administrations.

“Republican administrations direct more resources to child and human sex trafficking, and then Democratic administrations pull that back,” Severino, who also served in the Trump administration and in the DOJ during the transition from the Bush to Obama administrations, continued. “They treat it almost as a distraction from some things they consider to be more important.”

“The fact that these issues get pulled back under Democratic administrations is contemptible,” he added.

Nationwide Sex Trafficking Operation Rescues 141 Adults and 121 Minors

/0 Comments/in , /by

FBI agents and local authorities rescued 141 adult victims of human trafficking, 84 minor victims of child sex trafficking and sexual exploitation, and have identified 37 actively missing children during a two-week nationwide operation in August dubbed “Operation Cross Country.”

The average age of victims in similar operations is approximately 15 years old, while authorities said the youngest victim discovered during this operation was 11 years old.

“Human trafficking is among the most heinous crimes the FBI encounters,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement. “Unfortunately, such crimes—against both adults and children—are far more common than most people realize.”

Federal officials arrested 85 suspects of child sexual exploitation and human trafficking offenses as part of Operation Cross Country, which conducted 391 operations over two weeks. Teams included in the operation consist of FBI special agents, intelligence analysts, victim specialists, and child adolescent forensic interviewers working with 200 local, state, and federal partners.

Victim specialists provide a bridge for survivors who have lost trust in the system by helping them establish a positive relationship with law enforcement. (Read more from “Nationwide Sex Trafficking Operation Rescues 141 Adults and 121 Minors” HERE)
