Nearly 40 children are now safe after a major sex trafficking bust in Georgia that included the arrest of 9 suspects.
The groundbreaking bust, dubbed “Operation Not Forgotten,” spanned 20 counties around the metropolitan Atlanta area, according to WSB-TV Channel 2’s Gwinnett County Bureau Chief, Tony Thomas. The elaborate search involved both state and federal agents.
With the help of other agencies, U.S. Marshals Fugitive Hunters spent two weeks searching for the missing children in central and northern Georgia.
During the extensive search, children were found in Fulton, Forsyth, Clayton, and Gwinnett counties, among several others.
In total, “26 endangered children were recovered and another 13 missing children were found.”
