FARGO – Atragand atentia asupra a ceea ce au descris joi drept o problema „dezgustatoare” in zona Fargo-Moorhead, oficialii de politie au anuntat arestarea a 18 barbati ca parte a unei operatiuni intepenite supranumite „Guardian Angel”, care a implicat barbati care se presupune ca au plecat in zona hoteluri care doresc sa angajeze minori pentru activitate sexuala.
Cei 18 suspecti, inclusiv unul din Thief River Falls, Minn., Au fost arestati pe parcursul a doua zile din aceasta saptamana, iar toti cei 18 au fost retinuti joi dimineata in puscarie in asteptarea acuzatiilor referitoare la solicitarea minorilor pentru activitate sexuala.
„Este deznadajduitor”, a declarat joi, intr-o conferinta de presa, David Todd, la o conferinta de presa, referindu-se la numarul de persoane care cauta online si in alte parti pentru oportunitati de prada minorilor.
„Simplul fapt ca am facut sase arestari in Moorhead si 12 arestari in Fargo pentru persoanele care vin sa faca sex cu copii este ingrozitor, ingrozitor si dezgustator”, a spus Todd, adaugand ca succesul intepaturii indica ca probabil sunt multi tineri in Fargo-Moorhead care sunt victimati in secret.
„De asemenea, imi spune ca avem multe victime tacute ale abuzurilor sexuale de catre pradatori sexuali despre care nu stim”, a spus el. „Avem o problema de trafic de persoane in comunitatea noastra.”
Stingerea a fost operatiunea la scara mai mare care vizeaza traficul de sex din Fargo-Moorhead din istoria recenta, a declarat lt. Jason Nelson, seful unitatii de investigatii a departamentului de politie Fargo.
Todd si alti oficiali au spus ca intepatura, rezultatul unei colaborari intre agentiile locale, de stat si federale, a fost modelata pe o initiativa federala numita „Angel Guardian”, care ajuta diverse agentii sa isi coordoneze eforturile de a ataca crime impotriva copiilor.
In judetul Cass, 12 barbati au fost retinuti joi dupa-amiaza in asteptarea acuzatiilor legate de patronarea unei minore pentru activitati sexuale comerciale.
In judetul Clay, sase barbati arestati marti in Moorhead au fost acuzati joi cu o varietate de acuzatii referitoare la solicitarea contactului sexual cu minori.
Cei sase acuzati in Judecatoria Clay County sunt: Billy J. Huber, 48 de ani, Fargo; Steven A. Breker, 62 de ani, West Fargo; Dawda Jeng, 27 de ani, Moorhead; Benjamin P. Armstrong-Allason, 20 de ani, Fargo; Leroy M. LaFrance, 36 de ani, Fargo; si Michael D. Douville, 49 de ani, Litchfield, NH

Murch, care implineste 30 de ani vineri, 1 iulie, Hunter, ND; Miguel A. Rodriguez DeLaCruz, 23, Fargo; si Anjelo S. Shepherd, 20, West Fargo.
Todd a spus ca Departamentul de Politie Fargo are trei persoane care sunt repartizate sa lucreze la infractiuni impotriva copiilor, iar volumul de munca cu care se confrunta este descurajant.
The same is true in Moorhead, according to Deputy Police Chief Shannon Monroe, who said the two people assigned to child sex crimes “have overwhelming caseloads and a difficult assignment that really seems to burn out the people who work in those areas.”
Monroe said it is a sign that, “Our growing community is having the issue of growing crime problems in areas we haven’t seen in the past.”
Officials said the sting involved placing ads on websites and mobile apps through which contact with suspects was made. The apps included Grindr and Whisper, and the websites included Craigslist.com and Backpage.com, Nelson said.
Though apps and websites used to make contacts with minors often requires users to be at least 18 years old, it’s not difficult to thwart such requirements, Nelson said.
“We all know that people have ways to get around those,” he said.
Suspects would then show up at local hotels expecting to find minors to have sex with, officials said, though they declined to get into more detail as to how the investigation was handled.
In the course of the operation, police made contact with 159 people, Nelson said. Others who officers communicated with could still face charges, he said.
Officials said one man arrested this week, Brandon Murch, was a registered Level II sex offender.
Cass County State’s Attorney Birch Burdick said it is possible some of the men arrested in Fargo will be charged under a new statute called patronizing a minor for commercial sexual activity, which he said may be the first time someone has been charged under the statute in Cass County.
