National Law Center for Children and Families - Eleven indictments issued in Operation Harvest Moon

Eleven indictments issued in Operation Harvest Moon

A federal grand jury in eastern Kentucky issued eleven sealed indictments Monday, October 23, 2006 as a result of Operation Harvest Moon. The indictments were a result of collaboration between federal, state and local law enforcement to investigate and prosecute sexual exploitation crimes against children. Federal agencies including the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Postal Inspection Service, the U.S. Marshal Service and the Secret Service worked hand in hand with the Kentucky State Police and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to investigate crimes against children, including child pornography. Several other state arrest warrants aside from the federal indictments have been obtained by the Kentucky State Police. To read the press release, click here.

The National Law Center thanks the law enforcement and prosecutorial professionals involved with Operation Harvest Moon for their hard work in protecting children in Kentucky.

Florida law enforcement pursues on-line predators

Florida law enforcement officials announced the results from their five month operations targeting on-line predators. The law enforcement efforts spanned 28 of Florida's 67 counties and resulted in 126 arrests.

“The importance of presenting a united front against cyber criminals, when we are trying to protect our children, can not be over emphasized,” said Attorney General Bill McCollum. “Internet predators know no geographical boundaries, and we must fully cooperate to effectively cover our state with our protective efforts. This operation has achieved phenomenal results and my office will soon have 50 additional staff members in the CyberCrime Unit to assist in these endeavors.”
