AN DIEGO - A human trafficking sting conducted during San Diego Comic-Con resulted in the recovery of ten victims and the arrest of 14 individuals.
The operation, which took place from July 25 to 27, 2024, was led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force (SDHTTF), targeted sex traffickers and buyers using the San Diego Comic-Con Convention to seek out potential victims.
The sting was part of a broader effort to target sex traffickers and buyers who exploit large events like Comic-Con, which attracts over 100,000 attendees each year. The operation aimed to disrupt trafficking networks and provide support to victims.
During the three-day operation, law enforcement officers worked undercover to identify and apprehend sex traffickers and buyers. Undercover advertisements were used to solicit sex, leading to the arrest of 14 individuals involved in sex trafficking activities. Additionally, nine adult potential victims and one 16-year-old juvenile were recovered and offered assistance.

“’Simpsons’ Comic-Con Panel Surprises Fans With Message From Kamala Harris”
think they’ll pursue this matter at the DNC convention in Chicago? .... naaaaaaah ....
Buying? Selling? What the heck. How do you do this at a big convention. I guess the victims don’t scream because they are told their entire family will be killed or some such threat.
Horrible. Death Penalty is required for these guys.
I guess it makes sense. Most of the guys who go to those things could only get it by buying it. .... Despite everything “The Big Bang Theory” tried to convince us of otherwise.
Big events provide cover.
Super Bowls, Olympics, large festivals, etc.
I’m stunned. I’ve attended a bunch of conventions, though none as big as a comic-con or World Con. The feel is always good, clean fun. The idea that there are sleaze lurkers wandering the rooms is extremely disturbing. Never a rumor. Never an innuendo. Never a concern. Things have certainly changed.
The real weirdos.
Creepy and criminal, too.
Grindr usage went up during RNC so we know our “representatives” on both sides of the aisle are equally degenerate.
I would think that furries would flock to cons and they definitely have a creepy rep.
The trafficking would happen off-site, like the Super Bowl.
The open border democrats are the biggest human traffickers in world history,
Never seen a furry at any of these conventions. They have their own conventions, I hear.
At our conventions, you’ll see Leia or Scotty or some Vulcan or Klingon. You’ll have main auditorium lectures by the invited actors or actresses, panel discussions, zine and toy room sales. Get your own Starfleet Academy decal for your back window. Or a Starfleet Emblem piece of jewelry.

As for what goes on in the rooms, hero worship.

Having never gone to a Super Bowl, I’d never imagined a connection. Them being a site for traffickers floors me, too. Can’t even imagine it. Thank goodness. Shivers.
