The North Texas Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force announced the conclusion of the second annual Operation Janus, a three-week operation aimed at the rescue of North Texas children who are victims of online sexual exploitation.
From Jan. 15, 2024, to Feb. 2, 2024, law enforcement agencies across North Texas brought together highly-skilled computer crimes investigators to focus resources on the identification and rescue of children in our communities who fall prey to the darkness of online predators.
The investigators collaborated, dedicating their time in seeking out child victims and apprehending abusers trafficking illegal images and videos of children forced into sexual acts.
Operation Janus resulted in the rescue of 13 children from sexual abuse and more than 90 criminal charges filed against 47 offenders. Additionally, investigators seized terabytes of data and electronic devices used during the commission of these crimes. The evidence is being examined forensically and may lead to the investigation of other offenders.
"Operation Janus is an excellent example of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies working together working together to apprehend predators who target our children through online sources. Our communities are safer today thanks to this operation," an APD release said.
