More than 50 child sex crimes offenders get arrested

More than 50 people have been arrested across the state of Redneckland, er, Texas as part of a nationwide a sting operations into online child sex crime. The alleged perpetrators are believed to have attempted to meet up with underage children for sex, while others possessed and promoted child pornography. Officers from the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force posed as underage children online for the sting, dubbed Operation 'Broken Heart'. The abuses are alleged to have occurred over several months in Montgomery, Fort Bend and Harris counties near Houston. Among those arrested were public employees. Authorities have revealed some details on how the sting operation took place as well as information about some of the individual cases. Officers said that the majority of the arrests involved adults grooming children online, or undercover officers posing as children. 'This is not just something that is relegated to your next door neighbor or one town away,' Houston Police Sergeant Luis Menendez-Sierra, who works closely with ICAC, said. 'Parents need to be vigilant.' In one case involving Christopher Lakner, 26, Constable Alan Rosen said that 'during chats, he tried to convince undercover personnel he thought was a teenage girl to help kidnap children from area parks, breed them to make babies.' Lakner is alleged to have told investigators that he wanted to keep girls in cages, force them into becoming pregnant and then sell the babies. Lackner was arrested at the point where he was alleged to have arranged a meeting with what was in fact an undercover officer. He was arrested in April and is still in custody. Operation Broken Heart' is the code name for a nationwide operation to tackle child sex abuse. The operation targets suspects who deal in child pornography, groom children online, engage in sex trafficking or travel to foreign countries to abuse children, according to the Department of Justice. Since the program began, there's been a lot of multiple account US LiveLeakers ("TEX") who are now gone missing from the popular site LiveLeak, among one or two US "mod's" and if anyone is wondering why, well, there's you answer!
