The Montgomery County District Attorney says a prior sex offender is among those arrested during the latest Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force sting.
The sting took place over April, May and June 2016.
Authorities arrested 28 adults who were allegedly using the Internet for the sexual exploitation of children online. During these undercover operations, those arrested for the felony offense of online solicitation of a minor, believed he was meeting up with a minor he had previously contacted online.
The MCDA says the suspects met at predetermined locations where officers were waiting for them. During the course of these operations, some of the suspects were also charged with the felony offense of Possession of Child Pornography.
The Montgomery County ICAC Task Force asks that anyone with information concerning illegal conduct or other potential victims by these suspects to call the ICAC Tip Line at 936-760-6910.
“The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force will continue to aggressively pursue those that seek to victimize our children through the Internet. The effectiveness of this Task Force is reflected by these predators being arrested and charged. We will continue these efforts until these offenders realize that you do not prey on the children of Montgomery County,” stated Mary Nan Huffman, ICAC Division Chief.
