(CBN News) Tallahassee, Florida police on Tuesday announced the arrest of 178 people in what they termed a “large-scale” human trafficking operation.
WTVT Fox 13 reports the Tallahassee police held a news conference on “Operation Stolen Innocence,” a two-year-long investigation into trafficking in The Sunshine State’s capital city.
Authorities first began the operation in November of 2018 after investigators found a 13-year-old’s image on a prostitution website. The police special victim’s unit recovered the girl, and their ongoing investigation led to the arrests.
