As part of a multi-agency child predator sting, San Luis Obispo County Sheriff deputies arrested seven people over three days for attempting to meet with a child for sexual purposes.
From May 15 through May 17, law enforcement personnel targeted adults seeking to sexually exploit children and victims of sex trafficking by using undercover agents and detectives posing as minors on various social media platforms and websites commonly used by predators. Seven people attempted to meet with the alleged underage person in the City of San Luis Obispo.
The sheriff’ office along with the District Attorney’s Office and Office of the Attorney General conducted the child sexual predator undercover operation. “This operation reminds us yet again we must remain vigilant against those who would do harm to our most precious and vulnerable resource, our children,” said Sheriff Ian Parkinson. “I am extremely grateful for the cooperation between the California Department of Justice, the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office and those units of the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office, namely, the Special Operations Unit, which ultimately led to these arrests.
