A national task force that was given the mission of cracking down on child predators has arrested 238 people in Southern California during a two-month sting, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
During April and May, the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force launched "Operation Broken Heart III," according to the LAPD.
The Los Angeles Regional ICAC operation resulted in the arrest of 238 child predators. The national crackdown on cyber predators resulted in 1,368 arrests, just during the months of April and May, an LAPD spokesperson told ABC News today.
"The perpetrators in these cases include entertainers, community leaders, white collar professionals and even members of the clergy," John Reynolds, Homeland Security Investigations Acting Assistant Special Agent in Charge, said in a news conference on Monday.
