Yesterday, the US Department of Justice issued a press release announcing the arrest of more than 2300 suspected online child sex offenders during operation “Broken Heart”.
According to the press release, “The operation targeted suspects who: (1) produce, distribute, receive and possess child pornography; (2) engage in online enticement of children for sexual purposes; (3) engage in the sex trafficking of children; and (4) travel across state lines or to foreign countries and sexually abuse children.”
The 61 ICAC task forces, located in all 50 states and comprised of more than 4,500 federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies, made the 2,300 arrests. Of the 2300, the task forces identified 195 offenders (8% of those arrested) who either produced child pornography or committed child sexual abuse. Presumably the remaining 92% were simple possession.
The press release also does not disclose how many of the 2,300 were already registered as sex offenders. That statistic would be important to know.
Great information shared.. really enjoyed reading this post thank you author for sharing this post .. appreciated
I really like reading through a post that can make men and women think. Also, thank you for allowing me to comment!
What’s an appropriate response to this news? Like the night of “the long knives” in Hitler’s Germany when half his senior staff were murdered, oh, pardon…”purged for the good of the state, Mein Herren” Sig Heil!! Jesus, we’re getting there fast, aren’t we.
Of course, the nights of the long knives never ends for us does it?
What a waste of man power, energy and money. Hope all those arrests get thrown out just to further point this ridiculousness.
So is this the same DOJ that continued to run a real kiddie porn site on the dark web for several weeks after confiscating it’s assets, etc.?
Try 23 sites:

It’s a well known fact that the FBI/DOJ are the top providers of CP in the WORLD. Here are just a few of the articles which support that assertion:

As we all know from the prevalence of it here in Florida, probably 99.9% of these 2300 men, were either online looking for ADULTS, or were downloading games and/or other shareware content and the FBI planted the child porn on the ISB routers and then showed up at the door of the “pedophile” the next day, as was the case with several “computer nerds” I talked to in prison. They were literally downloading shareware and forgot to flag a few of the files they thought could be porn, and they were arrested the next day. So, I don’t give any credence to this “accomplishment” whatsoever because we know better. The bulk of the sex traffickers are usually foreigners who are actually doing it for GOVERNMENT workers!! I.E. Bill Clinton and the Lolita Express. In the article I read, it showed the pictures of 3 normal average looking American men, young males, just like you see in every press release these assholes publish here in Florida after a sting. This will never stop as long as the govt continues to pump out the facade and propaganda to the sheeple of this country pretending that they’re actually doing something. And I agree, why does it take 4500 agencies to arrest 2300 people. Waste of taxpayer resources much??
Here in Jacksonville, we’ve had 6 teenagers shot in the span of less than a week!! 2 survived, 4 didn’t. It was all gang and/or drug related. So again, as I’ve said constantly, who are the REAL threats to minors out there?? And I read a report a while back that said that a minor is 1000% more likely to be killed in an auto accident than be “kidnapped” by a RSO.
can an information request be made for the number of former people convicted of a sex offense?
Yes – the Freedom of Information Act Request should be sent to the information below. Please let us know what you uncover.

I’m curious if the new ruling by the SCOTUS on obtaining private information through cyber means . Is this going to have any effect on the result of this sting operation. Was the information they have obtained now illegal.
My second question is, How can law enforcement require you to list all your on line accounts with them if there not allowed to break in to those accounts, by law.
I’d like to know why it takes 4500 different agencies to catch 2300 suspects… That’s half a suspect per agency.
I wonder what the GAO would have to say about that :/
Let’s not even speculate on how many convictions they’ll actually get which will probably push it to just under a half a suspect.
Sure would love to know how many were already “Registered” as a Sex Offender !!!!??????. Bet it’s a very low (if any) number !!!. How much longer is the “, Government” going to continue to PUNISH people that ARE NOT COMMITING ANYMORE CRIMES !???. Study After Study and Research After Research has PROVEN that EX SEX OFFENDERS DON’T REOFFEND !!!!!. Yet the “Government” continues to “ADD ON” more rules, Laws, Conditions almost monthly to those who ARE NOT COMMITING ANYMORE CRIMES !!!!!. And now that our “Government” is interpreting the Constitution to fit their wants !!!! We’re all DOOMED !!!! Things aren’t getting better !!! Their getting WORSE !!!! Seems our only salvation is Moving to a Country that doesn’t have a “Registery” at all !!!. IF this country will even let you !!!!.
I’d like to see a itemized list of who got arrested for what I bet Production of child porn was low because they never get the source just the shlub who receives it. Distribution was high because trading pics is considered distribution Traveling across state lines depends on how close to the border the entrapee was when he was lured across. Traveling out of country to sexually abuse a child low if any where were these people arrested at home the airport a foreign country I seriously doubt any of it. All a big waste of money again. Besides how many if any were already registered we know none so called traveling abroad were because we are prisoners here now. Thank you Mr Obama
