The Polk County Sheriff’s Office just announced that 35 people have been arrested so far in a child pornography sting.
This group of people arrested in this sting came from every walk of life and covered a wide range of professional type workers to IT people to pilots.
The sheriff said this was the largest undercover investigations of this kind ever in Polk County.
The sting was labeled as Operation Child Shield and started back in February 2008. To date this investigation has landed 31 adults and 4 juveniles in jail.
The sheriff reported that 6 people are still at large. Some of the offenders were already in jail when the arrests were made during this sting operation.
It was also reported that the ages of the victims in this ranged from 1 to 12 years old and the sheriff said that the images were not just children without clothes. The sheriff reported the images were “horrific” displays of children being forced into exposing their genitals, forced to perform sexual acts and images of children being raped.
The images included pictures of male and female victims. The sheriff’s office also said there was about 12,000 child porn images seized as they served 50 search warrants.
One would think that the criminals in that area of Florida would be smart enough not to be involved in any type of child porn crimes over there. I think the Sheriff has made it clear that this type of behavior will not be tolerated over there. But I guess that’s one thing criminals have in common, none of them seem to be very smart.
Granted I know some of them got away again and will continue to avoid arrest for the time being, but they need to know that Sheriff Grady Judd will be right there the minute they mess up to take them down. GO SHERIFF Grady Judd!!!!
Just 2 bad I don’t live in the area that Sheriff Grady Judd has jurisdiction over. Sadly I’m stuck in the Orlando Police Department coverage area and they just don’t seem to care about much of anything that happens unless someone gets murdered. Of course that’s a little late, but sadly that’s the mentality of the useless police department that serves and protects the area I live in.
Even more funny the police seem to think we the people should be concerned that they announced they are going to cut officers from the department. How sad is that, the police officers with their piss poor attitudes when dealing with the public seems to think that we should care that they are going to cut staff. Anyway, I guess that should be in a post of its own.
