Atlanta kids recovered in national child prostitution crackdown

The FBI and a contingent of local law enforcement across the country scooped up nearly 80 kids and arrested more than 100 alleged pimps in a three-day crackdown on child prostitution earlier this week - including three children and five adults nabbed by the FBI’s Atlanta division.

“Once again, thanks to decade-long FBI leadership, it is clear that child prostitution and sex trafficking do not just occur somewhere else on the other side of the world,” Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, said in an FBI release.
