Human trafficking and counterfeit stings yielded more than 110 arrests ahead of the Super Bow. The trafficking sting, called Operation Guardian Angel, included federal agents, local police departments and advocacy groups, among others that spent several years preparing for Super Bowl LII. Operation Guardian Angel, formed in 2014, has been copied by several states.

Most of the men arrested had no criminal history, Snyder said. This came as a surprise.

“We thought we were going to be arresting the worst of the worst the sociopaths, the sex addicts, past sex convictions and things like that”

Operation Guardian Angel received 1,560 individual responses to decoy ads over the 11-day period. Officials also made contact with 28 potential victims ages 17-49. Of those women, six admitted they were trafficked or likely were being trafficked. The victims were disproportionately Asian women, Snyder said, which matches regional sex trafficking trends.

“We do everything we can to prosecute … but it’ll never be the same for victims”

Thanks :) Resteemed!

This sounds like a massive trolling for pedo campaign, where's the people's investigations into the crimes of the state sanctioned human trafficking?

I think this article I wrote may have some links that shed more light on this. At first, when I read the start of your article, I though they had made real efforts after what they had discovered, but once I had read through the article entirly, I see that they just went for the low-level crooks ie punters. Great work by the authorities again. Just shows that they collect data and know what is going on and they do Jack Shit about it. Only one answer and that is that they are in on it. Thanks for the post, was good to find a continuation to a subject I wrote about. https://steemit.com/familyprotection/@article61/lesson-learned-preventing-human-trafficking-at-the-superbowl
