FLORIDA – Polk County Sheriff’s Office detectives and partnering agencies conducted an undercover operation from July 27th through August 1st, 2021, during which detectives posed as juveniles on social media platforms, mobile apps, and online dating sites to investigate those who prey upon and travel to meet children for unlawful sexual activity.
Detectives from the Auburndale Police Department, Orlando Police Department, Winter Haven Police Department, and Orange County Sheriff’s Office, participated in “Operation Child Protector.”
The suspects communicated with and solicited who they thought were children between the ages of 13 and 14 for sex acts. The suspects showed up to an undercover location in Polk County at separate times to meet who they thought were children, to sexually batter them. Some of them transmitted pornographic images while grooming and soliciting the children online, and they were appropriately charged for that as well.
In all, detectives arrested 17 suspects, who face a total of 49 felony and two misdemeanor charges which include: traveling to meet a minor for sex, attempted lewd battery, use of a computer to seduce a child, unlawful use of a two-way communication device, and transmission of material harmful to a child; six suspects brought condoms, and nine suspects have criminal histories (with 27 total previous felonies, and 22 total previous misdemeanors). The youngest suspect arrested is 26 years old, and the two oldest suspects are 47 years old. They were all from the central Florida area, except one suspect who was here visiting from California.

How many are border jumpers?
Isn’t this what leftist attorneys and judges call “entrapment”? Waiting for the other shoe to drop.
If convicted, castration. With a rusty life.
Knife.
Q predicted this!!
knife? how about a rusty spoon, then they need to be shot, starting at the ankles and work the way up...
Employed to do what?
I love the sheriffs' comment "This isn't California, no pat on the head and out the back door. You're looking at 10 to 15 years".
Now this.
Note: It's not a conspiracy if it's true.
Wonder what else we are going to find out about?
“It’s not a conspiracy if it’s true”
You should look up the word “conspiracy”
Yeah, but they’re vaxed so it’s all good.
Too short. I would rather the sentance be on par with the death penalty. But alot quicker.
Q is not that prophetic. It’s always assumed there is some pedo at or near venues with high gathering numbers of kids.
I wonder if any of them were soliciting girls?
August is always hot
A preponderance of them have facial hair. Maybe Walt was right? /half sarc
Well at least there is some diversity there. =)
