In May, the Department of Justice announced the results of Operation Restore Justice, a federal initiative aimed at identifying, tracking, and apprehending child sex predators. That operation led to the rescue of 115 children and the arrests of 205 child sexual abuse offenders.
“Every child deserves to grow up free from fear and exploitation, and the FBI will continue to be relentless in our pursuit of those who exploit the most vulnerable among us,” Patel said at the time.
"The Department of Justice will never stop fighting to protect victims—especially child victims—and we will not rest until we hunt down, arrest, and prosecute every child predator who preys on the most vulnerable among us," added Attorney General Pamela Bondi.
