Successful Halloween: Operation Big Bad Wolf Arrests 36
- October 31, 2024
Operation Big Bad Wolf aims to dismantle a criminal network engaged in the production, storage, and distribution of child sexual abuse material. This task force is backed by international organizations and the U.S. Embassy.
Child Rescue Coalition technology played a vital role in the operation that that has led to the arrest of 36 suspects. Law enforcement also executed 92 search and seizure warrants across 20 states.
The investigation revealed that many offenders are reaching out to children and adolescents via digital platforms. The Public Prosecutor’s Office noted that the materials produced are shared in closed messaging groups on apps like Telegram, Instagram, Signal, and WhatsApp. Alarmingly, even popular children’s games like Roblox are being exploited to target minors for sexual exploitation.
The operation’s name, “Big Bad Wolf,” reflects the deceptive nature of these criminals, who disguise themselves as trustworthy individuals to manipulate and harm their victims. We stand proudly with law enforcement in Brazil and Operation Big Bad Wolf.
