"Not only did we arrest more suspects during this single operation than we have ever arrested before, we identified 21 human trafficking victims; during a similar operation in February, we identified 24 victims," Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County stated.
The operation's success was largely attributed to the dedicated work of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) that included victim specialists, child/adolescent forensic interviewers, and other victim service personnel.
The USSS’s statement asserted that “security systems” were checked and “several hundreds individuals” indexed, yet, apparently, no potential suspect was identified.
