The U.S. Marshals Service set up a month-long sting to rescue missing children and arrest human traffickers. It was very successful and ended with finding 45 missing children and 179 arrests. Victims were found in Ohio and states around it. This was done with more than 50 law enforcement agencies in collaboration. Undercover officers worked long days and nights to target the traffickers. This was the most successful sting in the history of the Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force. The agencies are not stopping and will continue to save lives. There are now new operations unfolding and turning out very successful.
