FBI rescued two Mississippi children from sex trafficking

The FBI issued the following press release:




Beginning Thursday evening, June 19, 2014, and continuing through Saturday, June 21, 2014, the FBI and its local, state, and federal law enforcement partners conducted Operation Cross Country VIII to address commercial child sex trafficking throughout the United States.  In Mississippi, the operation included enforcement actions in seven (7) cities, and led to the recovery of two (2) children, who were being victimized through prostitution, and the arrests of 19 pimps.  Additionally, 53 other individuals were arrested on state and local charges.

“Child prostitution is a real threat to children across America, and right here in Mississippi – not just in other countries,” said Daniel McMullen, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Mississippi.  “Through Operation Cross Country, the FBI and its partners in law enforcement emphasize their commitment to identifying and rescuing any child who is being victimized in this heinous enterprise.”
Operation Cross Country is part of the Innocence Lost National Initiative that was established in 2003 by the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division, in partnership with the Department of Justice and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), to address the growing problem of child prostitution.

To date, the FBI and its task force partners have recovered more than 3,400 children from being exploited.  The investigations and subsequent 1,450 convictions have resulted in lengthy sentences, including 14 life terms.  Mississippi, participating in Operation Cross Country VII, recovered one juvenile victim in 2013.

Task force operations usually begin as local enforcement actions that target truck stops, casinos, street “tracks,” and websites that advertise dating or escort services, based on intelligence gathered by officers working in their respective jurisdictions.  Initial arrests are often for violations of local and state laws relating to prostitution or solicitation. Information gleaned from those arrested frequently reveals organized efforts to prostitute women and children across many states.  FBI agents further develop this evidence in partnership with the U.S. Attorney’s Offices and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section so that prosecutors can bring federal charges in those cities where child prostitution occurs.

The Innocence Lost National Initiative brings state and federal law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and social service providers from across the country to NCMEC for training.

The FBI’s Jackson Division thanks the local, state, and federal law enforcement partners, representing thirteen (13) separate agencies, who participated in Operation Cross Country VIII in Mississippi, and commends their ongoing enforcement efforts.  Those agencies are:

        Mississippi Attorney General’s Office
        Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics
        Gautier, MS Police Department
        Jackson, MS Police Department
        Jackson County Sheriff’s Office
        Madison County Sheriff’s Office
        Moss Point, MS Police Department
        Ocean Springs, MS Police Department
        Pascagoula, MS Police Department
        Pearl, MS Police Department
        Rankin County Sheriff’s Office
Ridgeland, MS Police Department
Tupelo, MS Police Department

Trafficking children for the sexual pleasure of adults is sick. Lorraina Bobbitt could be useful in the punishment of the sex traffickers!

So grateful to all who rescued these children from sexual slavery and hope we all will keep this evil practice of prostituting children for monetary gain out of our Country. A child in prostitution in Jackson, Mississippi can bring its "pimp" $150,000.00 per year. I am quoting Captain Chapman of the Salvation Army who hopes to provide a place to rehabilitate those victims who are rescued.

Porn is a billion $ business and some become very addicted. This is nothing but a gateway to more challenging sexual activities that includes children. If those would quit watching and participating in such evil, these folks would have no reason to pimp out young adults and children. They should castrate these pimps and the ones that participate in such evil activity. SICK SICK folks in this world!!!

Castration is not the answer.
Pedophilia is between the ears, not below the waist.
It's about power and control and manipulation and seeing submission as proof of love.
And, for those who provide slaves, it's about the money.
Somehow we have to find a way to protect society from those who , like rabid dogs, are too much a danger to others to be allowed back into society.

I do so agree. The twisted portion of the mind that allows anyone to touch a child in sexual lust cannot be cured. I would say, put them on an island and let them dream with no children around, but then, they might reproduce. Society is never free from those undiscovered, but the known ones do not belong around others. Children, of all ages, deserve our protection. It is their right.

something odd about the ratio. I find it hard to believe that there is a 10:1 pimp/exploited child ratio. Seems like something is missing...

Disturbing to say the least. I thought this shit only happened 'somewhere else'. Vigilante justice is needed here.

I still say castrate them! The last thing they need is to reproduce and then exploit their own children!

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
