LAPD Chief Michel Moore said the arrested predators tried to identify vulnerable victims and “destroy their lives.”
Authorities announced on Wednesday, July 26 that 139 people were arrested during a five-county, multi-agency operation that targeted internet crimes against children.
LAPD Chief Michel Moore, who led the operation, was also among many law-enforcement officials at the news conference. “The LAPD ICAC unit, as the lead agency, is the primary clearing house for all CyberTips, associated to the five southern California counties, received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children,” the LAPD said.
“During the operation, our dedicated investigators demonstrated their unwavering commitment and compassion as they embarked on a critical mission to protect the innocent,” the LAPD said. The ICAC Task Force Program consists of 61 coordinated task forces and over 5,400 federal, state and local law enforcement members.
