FBI Saves 105 Child Victims in 'Operation Cross Country' in a Child Sex Trafficking

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

The FBI has rescued 105 child sex-trafficking victims, FBI Assistant Director Ronald Hosko announced Monday.
The youngest of the rescued children was 9 years old, according to Reuters.

One underage victim told officials she became involved with prostitution when she was 11, according to CNN.

"Many times the children that are taken in in these types of criminal activities are children that are disaffected, they are from broken homes, they may be on the street themselves," FBI Acting Executive Assistant Director Kevin Perkins said, according to the network. "They are really looking for a meal, they are looking for shelter, they are looking for someone to take care of them."

More than 150 "pimps" were also arrested in the raids, NBC News reported.

The rescue was part of "Operation Cross Country," a nationwide initiative to aid underage victims of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation.
