Southern California Nabs Over 260 Alleged Child Predators in Sweeping, Multi-County Crackdown
Red State ^ | May 22, 2025 | Becca Lower

positive actions are happening to improve the well-being and safety of young people living in Southern California despite the misguided intentions of some of the region's political and law enforcement leaders.

Officials announced that they have just finished a crackdown across a multi-county area on suspected child predators and others intent on committing crimes against minors:

The effort, dubbed “Operation Spring Cleaning,” was led by the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Regional ICAC Task Force, which is comprised of five counties — Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, and Ventura.

...

The operation took place from April 6 to 19, and was carried out in two phases. The first phase involved undercover investigations across various social media platforms to track down and identify suspected child predators.

The second phase involved serving residential and arrest warrants across the five counties, targeting suspects engaged in the distribution of child sexual abuse material, online exploitation, and other crimes against children.

LAPD gave more details, including that 265 suspects were nabbed in the operation:

"During the nearly two-week operation, 265 suspects were arrested for child exploitation-related crimes. Many of them “held positions of trust within their communities,” and some were either employed or placed in a role that gave them direct contact with children."

...

The operation also swept up convicted sex offenders who may have violated conditions of their parole/probation, including failing to register as a convicted sex offender in the first place

...

One of the best parts of the story: As a result of the sweeping op, 27 children are now safe.

The department stressed that it takes more than law enforcement efforts to locate and take down these despicable online predators or would-be predators, who seek to prey on the most innocent in our society: [emphasis added]

“The united efforts of the LA ICAC Task force and the community, in the fight against the online sexual exploitation of children, will surely assist in keeping the child predators at bay and allow our children to explore the internet without fear.”

The successful law enforcement action comes at a time of heightened awareness by Americans of human trafficking involving children, in the wake of the surprise, box office smash and independent movie, "Sound of Freedom," which was released in the summer of 2023.

I don’t trust this. Leftists use sex charges to attack conservatives. Part of Alinsky protocols.

So look carefully before being self righteous.

And here it is,

DNA CONFIRMS BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT Ilhan Omar did marry Ahmed Elmi her own brother, and admitted she would “do what she had to do” to get him U.S. papers,

Only hours after Minnesota GOP operative Anton Lazarro posted online DNA evidence proving Ilhan Omar had married her brother, the FBI arrested him—in a major cover-up in the name of an underage sex-trafficking investigation.

Now, arrest
@Ilhan
for crimes of tax fraud, immigration fraud, marriage fraud, loan fraud, perjury, bigamy, incest, kickbacks, campaign finance abuse and conspiracy to defraud the United States government.

I was assaulted by a teenage child predator in 1958. It was not until 1984 that I was able to recall the event and undo the damage. My point in saying this is that the consequences of this kind of perversion are very deep, subtle, and difficult to sublimate. They can be multigenerational. Hence, the degree to which our punishments of child sexual predators have been reduced or ignored have been catastrophic to those who suffer from their obsessions. I am grateful to see stories like this and for the law officers who entrain these broken people who are often victims of similar behaviors themselves. For the most part, they must be physically constrained until we learn how to impart reliable psychological and physiological treatments.

So does that mean the next time the California legislature and the L.A. City Council meet, the room will be empty?

Huh? The People's Republic of kali is legendary for it's promotion of perversion. Including pedophilia.

Actually, truth be known, that sewer has been the conduit for all things reprehensible for the last 50 years.

This must be a photo op.

Sadly, that’s probably a drop in the septic tank of these sickos.

Thank God law-and-order Nathan Hochman was elected DA in 2024.

If Gascon were still LA County DA, the perps would have been released (b/c “no cash bail) - given a court date and the charges quietly dropped before that time.

Coverage. This will be used by SCaCaLand politicos to tell everyone else that there is no need to look for diddlers in that area as they have already cleaned them all out.

They will all be released. At worst they will be put on a blue dot list. No jail time.
