34 suspected child predators arrested in Arizona sting
Feb 20, 2021
Police in Arizona arrested 34 suspected predators accused of targeting children for sex crimes and human trafficking, authorities said Friday.
The multiagency sting, dubbed Operation Broken Hearts, nabbed men and women from 21 to 66 years old, most of whom live in the Phoenix area, according to police.
As part of the investigation, officers and undercover detectives placed ads on websites and smartphone apps commonly sought by people looking to engage in illegal sex acts with children, the Phoenix Police Department said in a news release.
The suspects charged in the operation responded to one of the ads believing they were communicating with a child and then solicited and/or brokered deals for various sex acts, according to the release.
The charges they face include human trafficking, child sex trafficking, attempted sex conduct with a minor, luring of a minor for sexual exploitation, possession of dangerous drugs and furnishing harmful material to a minor.
