Over the last several months, Manatee County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations, Crimes Against Children and the Tampa Bay Human Trafficking Task Force conducted a multi-faceted human trafficking operation, dubbed “Operation Refuge,” that consisted of search warrants at illicit massage parlors as well as undercover operations focused on victim recovery and arrests of individuals knowingly participating in human trafficking. Operation Refuge resulted in 17 arrests and the recovery of one victim. Detectives also gathered information on other possible victims.
On 10/26/23 and 10/27/23, detectives conducted simultaneous undercover operations focused on combating human trafficking and arresting individuals responding to online advertisements for sex with minors. 189 people responded to the ads on adult websites and knowingly inquired about meeting minors for sex. In each of those 189 contacts with the chatters, the ages of the girls were given (under 15), and the subjects continued to engage in conversation with the chatters. Of those who inquired, six males made arrangements to meet up with a minor and were subsequently arrested after money was exchanged.
