33 missing children rescued during human trafficking probe in Democrat pedophile California

Authorities rescued nearly three dozen missing kids in Southern 
California during a human trafficking investigation, the FBI 
said.

Of the 33 children rescued as part of “Operation Lost Angels,” 
eight were being sexually exploited when authorities swooped in 
to save them, according to the feds.

Two of the kids had been previously rescued during the course of 
the operation, the agency said Friday.

“It is not uncommon for victims who are rescued to return to 
commercial sex trafficking either voluntarily or by force, 
fraud, or coercion,” the FBI said.

“This harmful cycle highlights the challenges victims face and 
those faced by law enforcement when attempting to keep victims 
from returning to an abusive situation,” the agency continued. 
“Victims may not self-identify as being trafficked or may not 
even realize they’re being trafficked.”

One suspected human trafficker was arrested, and multiple 
investigations were launched as a result of the probe.

The FBI added, “Some of the minor victims were arrested for 
probation violations, robbery, or other misdemeanors” and “one 
child was a victim of a noncustodial parental kidnapping.”

The joint investigation, which included two dozen law 
enforcement agencies and was led by the FBI’s Los Angeles Field 
Office, began Jan. 11, the FBI said in a statement.

In 2020, the FBI conducted 664 human trafficking investigations 
across the country, which led to the arrests of 473 traffickers.
