Task forces organized nationwide by the Justice Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children project arrested 2,300 suspected child sex offenders this spring, the department announced on Tuesday.
Dubbed “Operation Broken Heart,” the coordinated effort by 4,500 state, local and tribal law enforcement teams responded to more than 25,200 complaints about technology-facilitated crimes against children.
From March to May 2018, the task forces identified 195 offenders who either produced child pornography or committed child sexual abuse, Justice reported. They also found 383 children who suffered recent, ongoing or historical sexual abuse, or involvement in the production of child pornography
