The FBI has revealed the results of Operation Soteria Shield, a coordinated law enforcement initiative across the state of Texas, which aims to rescue children from online exploitation and bring offenders to justice. This year's operation coincided with Operation Iron Pursuit, an FBI-led national initiative conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Justice, which targeted alleged sex traffickers, abusers, and those that manufacture, own, and distribute child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The operation led to the rescue of 89 children and the arrest of 276 suspects, with 33 of them identified as registered sex offenders.
