The FBI arrested 169 people during a pre-Super Bowl sting operation targeting human traffickers who in the run-up to the game flooded Atlanta with sex workers.
The bureau said in a press release that an 11-day operation beginning on Jan. 23 resulted in the arrest of 26 alleged traffickers, and 34 people accused of trying to engage in sex acts with minors. Agents also detained nine alleged juvenile sex-trafficking victims as well as nine alleged adult victims.
