LOS ANGELES -- Authorities say 474 people have been arrested in a multiday sting operation focused on human trafficking in California.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell said Tuesday the arrests came after a three-day operation conducted by 30 law enforcement agencies across the state last week.
Investigators say as part of the sting, undercover officers posed as prostitutes on street corners and also posted advertisements online.
Officials say three dozen people were arrested on suspicion of being pimps.
They say officers also rescued 28 children who were being sexually exploited and offered services to 27 adults they said were victims of sex trafficking.
McDonnell says the arrests represent a "very sad commentary on the condition we're dealing with."
District Attorney Jackie Lacey says authorities won't tolerate children being sexually exploited.
We need LABOR CAMPS:
When they go away forever, it’s expen$ive.
They need to do what they can to offset expense; picking, breaking rocks, road construction.
We are going to need to jail A LOT of people.
The people need to SEE them getting it hard and good.
Unless the perpetrators are Hollywood elite.....
Portland Oregon is rated as the tops in human trafficking on the West Coast. Don’t know the numbers. Another democrat run city.
How’s Bobby Titcomb doing lately?
Was Jerry Brown one of those arrested? Defending sanctuary cities is tantamount to offering aid and comfort to human traffickers.
Or high Democratic party officials...
Were any references to “pizza” involved?
.....any indications of the perps status immigration wise?

District Attorney Jackie Lacey, Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office Twitter feed mentions the press conference on Jan 31 but no real news. Very odd. People please dig on this. Who was arrested?
Think of all the "acts of love" that were taking place....
Don’t know who he is.
I don’t live in Portland but I despise their politics as they screw up the rest of the state.
Thanks for posting!

Ping to trafficking ring bust in L.A.
Is there a master list of names and places of employment?
Any public officials caught in the net?
Wonder if Sen. Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles) has offered any comments about these arrests and the implication for SB-1322?
