Some cycles are good, but what if it's a vicious cycle? :(

76 Arrested in Multi-State Child Exploitation Operation Named “Operation Southern Impact II”
March 16, 2018
Decatur, GA – A total of 76 people were arrested and 13 children were rescued or identified as victims during a mutually coordinated operation between eight (8) southeastern states. The joint, proactive operation, Operation Southern Impact II, was coordinated by nine (9) Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces in those eight states and focused on persons who possess and distribute child pornography and those who are sexually exploiting children in other ways using technology and the internet.

The arrestees, ranged in age from 17 to 72. Some of their occupations included postal worker, non-profit employee, small business owner, store clerk, mechanic, daycare administrator, pastor, construction worker and magician.

The 61 ICAC Task Forces across the country are working cases and conducting investigative actions like these every day. The Commanders of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces in these states wanted to reinforce to those who exploit children that the ICAC Task Forces will work together to make an impact in their respective states and the region as a whole.

Eight (8) registered sex offenders were encountered in Georgia, during the course of this operation,
four (4) of those offenders were charged with new crimes related to child pornography while the others were charged with various compliance violations. There was an additional subject who had an arrest for a prior sex offense but was not a registered sex offender.


The Georgia ICAC Task Force made 244 arrests in 2015. In 2016, the Georgia ICAC Task Force arrested 340 persons and in 2017 the Georgia ICAC Task Force arrested 350 people for crimes related on online child exploitation. The Georgia ICAC TF received almost 4,000 tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) in 2017. More than 12.7 million reports of suspected child sexual exploitation have been made to the NCMEC CyberTipline between 1998 and June 2016. The Georgia ICAC TF also conducted 391 Internet safety presentations.

Recidivism Of Sex Offenders Released From Prison In 1994
November 16, 2003 NCJ 198281
Presents, for the first time, data on the rearrest, reconviction, and reimprisonment of 9,691 male sex offenders, including 4,295 child molesters, who were tracked for 3 years after their release from prisons in 15 States in 1994. The 9,691 are two-thirds of all the male sex offenders released from prisons in the United States in 1994. The study represents the largest followup ever conducted of convicted sex offenders following discharge from prison and provides the most comprehensive assessment of their behavior after release.

Highlights:

  • Within 3 years following their release, 5.3% of sex offenders (men who had committed rape or sexual assault) were rearrested for another sex crime.
  • On average the 9,691 sex offenders served 3 1/2 years of their 8-year sentence.
  • Compared to non-sex offenders released from State prisons, released sex offenders were 4 times more likely to be rearrested for a sex crime.
  • The 9,691 released sex offenders included 4,295 men who were in prison for child molesting.

What more can be done to protect the children?

What more can be done to protect the children?
If often starts with families, and I wonder the same thing. The genetic potential is there in all adults, and it is mostly ethics, compassion, good sense, chivalry and laws which prevent sexual abuse of children. So I think we help prevent it by encouraging ethics, compassion, good sense, chivalry and law.

People who do these things ought to feel guilty about it, but sometimes they don't. Sometimes they do, and so find ways of leveraging that guilt to cause them to reveal any evil that is happening.

Another thing is assessing the laws for effectiveness. Do the laws help children ultimately and what kind of legislation will encourage the reporting of problems?

Decatur is part of greater Atlanta and Atlanta has a horrible problem with children under 16 being trafficked.. In fact there is a PBS documentary on the subject.

There are a number of private, not for profit groups working to save and rehabilitate these children (mostly girls)

They bagged a bunch of the perverts during Superbowl Week.

I agree, it starts with family.

The tendency to do wrong is there in all of us, I agree, but doesn't the tendency to love, override that tendency, especially when it involves helpless innocent looking "babies"?
I think it's more than genetics, because everyone has wrong tendencies, but they are not naturally driven to hurt a child - which we know... it hurts.
Something drives people to this sickness.
When a family member, especially a parent, rapes their own child, they are only thinking of self.
Normally, parents think of protecting their children, but recently selfishness has permeated society.

Everything now center's around self, and so everyone else is excluded, including children.

Another thing is assessing the laws for effectiveness. Do the laws help children ultimately and what kind of legislation will encourage the reporting of problems?
I believe when the two institutes primarily responsible for caring for, and protecting children fail, it is not expected that anything else will help.
The saying, "Strong families make strong societies", I believe, is true.
So to have strong families, good morals are important, and when the family fails, societies fail.
I think we are seeing the effects.
It's a domino effect - cause and effect.

I'm looking at the fact though, that when caught perpetrators of this crime get very little jail time, while children suffer a lifetime of hurt.
If one man can get so many years for just having images on his computer - Larry Nassar has been sentenced to 60 years in jail for three counts relating to child sex abuse images on his computer - how much does an actual child abuse offender get, especially one who produces child porn?

In July 2017, [Larry] Nassar was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to child pornography charges. On January 24, 2018, Nassar was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in a Michigan state prison after pleading guilty to seven counts of sexual assault of minors. On February 5, 2018, he was sentenced to an additional 40 to 125 years in prison after pleading guilty to an additional three counts of sexual assault. His federal and state sentences are to run consecutively.

I hope those private groups are vigilant in screening their team members. Perverts infiltrate any group that seem vulnerable.

These underaged girls are runaways or throwaways.. often coming from impoverished, broken families.

Curb the famalies' libido. Castrate.
I don't know, if that's a good idea.
If one is a vicious sexual predator, and you take away his "prized canine", I dread thinking of what that might result in him becoming.

Which ones do you mean? Do you mean those who become prostitutes, or are you referring to those preyed on for producing porn?
Exploitation is criminal nonetheless. Many girls are abducted. Some are at home, and used by family members.

These girls are under 16.. There is a legal loophole the pimps take advantage of.

Children are being sold as sex slaves in Atlanta, GA. Fact- Atlanta Magazine named the city of Atlanta as "Sex City", the capital of sexual exploitation in the U.S. Fact- Atlanta is known as the number one hub of human trafficking and child sex exploitation in the United States.
