Twenty-eight children have been rescued from abusive situations as part of a law enforcement crackdown on child porn that led to the arrests of close to 60 violators.

The month-long Operation Janus was conducted by the FBI Dallas Division’s Child Exploitation Task Force and the North Texas Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force between Jan. 16 and Feb. 16. During this period, law enforcement agencies in North Texas used computer crime investigators to identify and rescue child victims as well as arrest abusers trafficking illegal content of kids forced to commit sexual acts. In total, Operation Janus rescued 28 children from online sexual abuse, with 59 offenders facing more than 80 criminal charges.
