A months-long law enforcement operation in New Orleans resulted in the arrest of 30 sex offenders and the recovery of five missing teenagers, the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) confirmed last week.
The multiagency effort dubbed “Operation Boo Dat” was led by the USMS New Orleans Task Force and lasted from mid-October to Dec. 24. The rescue effort culminated in the recovery of five missing and endangered teenage girls, ranging in age from 14 to 17, the USMS said in a press release.
