From Daily Mail: More than three dozen missing children were rescued from sex traffickers in North Florida after a massive sting.
The rescue effort named Operation Northern Lights found 43 missing children across 14 counties with more children found in other states, the US Marshals Service announced Thursday.
Federal authorities said the youngest victims were aged just one-year-old. One of the young victims was abducted from Florida and found in Louisiana.
Nine people were arrested after the staggering operation, which law enforcement said took two weeks to conduct.
The charges against the accused include human trafficking, child endangerment, and custodial interference.
The missing children were found in North Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana.
“This was the most successful missing child operation ever conducted in Northern Florida,” Greg Leljedal, acting US Marshal for the Northern District of Florida, said. “Because of the tireless dedication of the U.S. Marshals and our law enforcement partners, 43 endangered children will now be home safe for the holidays.”
