Four children in Oregon and Southwest Washington were among 52 rescued nationwide last week as part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s “Operation Cross Country IV” sex trafficking suspect sweep.
The children and eight adult pimps were discovered during the Thursday, Oct. 22, sweep at five separate Portland-area places. The FBI did not disclose where the children were found because the investigation is ongoing.
Oregon’s Department of Human Services took the underage children into protective custody. Law enforcement officers and deputies from local agencies took custody of the pimps, charging them with a variety of crimes. They also cited 29 adult female prostitutes and arrested one “john” or caught in the sting.
