An operation by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office in Florida that focused on human trafficking, prostitution, and child predators resulted in the arrest of 108 people, among them four Walt Disney Co. workers and a former county judge.
The six-day undercover operation, called “Operation March Sadness 2,” started on March 8. According to a statement from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, detectives sought to identify and free any victims who were being forced into prostitution, and identify anyone participating in the human trafficking. They did that by seeking out people who posted online advertisements for prostitution as well as those who sought out the prostitutes through online communications.
