A joint operation involving several law enforcement agencies leads to the arrests of 30 suspects for child sex related crimes.
During the month of October, multiple valley police agencies participated in Operation “Deja Boo.” This operation targeted sex buyers involved in child sex trafficking and those intent on luring minors for sexual exploitation. The collaborative efforts of those involved led to the filing of child sex related crimes on 30 individuals through the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.
This operation was conducted by
the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and
Chandler Police Departments, as well as Homeland Security Investigations. The
ability of all these agencies to come together and work as a unit led to the
success of this operation. The arrests breakdown as follows:
o
Phoenix Police: 11 arrests
o
Scottsdale Police: 8 arrests
o
Mesa Police: 7 arrests
o
Chandler Police: 2 arrests
o
Tempe Police: 2 arrests
Arrest
totals: 30
Below are the suspects who were
arrested in the Mesa Police cases. For information on the others, please
