The FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice concluded a five-day nationwide operation called "Operation Restore Justice," which targeted child sexual abuse offenders across the United States. The operation resulted in the arrest of 205 alleged child sex predators and the rescue of 115 children. The crackdown involved coordination among all 55 FBI field offices and federal, state, and local law enforcement partners. Arrests were made in multiple states, including Utah, Massachusetts, California, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, and North Carolina. Among those arrested was a Metropolitan Police Department officer. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized the operation's goal to send a clear message that there is no sanctuary for individuals who exploit children. The FBI highlighted ongoing efforts, noting that over 400 individuals involved in violent crimes against children have been arrested in the past month, with the operation continuing. Additionally, four men in Côte d’Ivoire were arrested in an international sextortion case linked to the 2022 suicide of a San Jose teen.
