A huge 135-city FBI sex-trafficking investigation freed 149 children and apprehended 150 pimps, according to a statement released Wednesday.
The nationwide sweep involved over 500 members of law enforcement in cities from coast to coast. The investigation focused on hotels, casinos and truck stops.
In Michigan alone 19 children were rescued and 12 pimps arrested.
“The Michigan State Police continue to support the efforts to combat human trafficking and rescue victims from the manipulation and constraints of suspects who take advantage of vulnerable children and adults in our community. Our department is committed to working with our law enforcement partners enforcing human trafficking laws and arresting the suspects who facilitate these horrific acts,” Michigan State Police Captain Monica Yesh said in a statement.
The FBI reported that the youngest exploited child was only 12 years old.
