Description
Following a week-long undercover operation, deputies say they have arrested six men, including a daycare worker, who showed up at a location in Polk County with the intent of sexually abusing children.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office – along with six other Tampa Bay area law enforcement agencies – launched a seven-day investigation on Sept. 19, authorities said. It required detectives to pretend to be children or guardians of children on social media platforms, phone apps and online dating sites to see who was preying and wanting to travel to meet children to have sex with them.
Each man who was arrested reportedly communicated with and solicited with detectives while thinking they were children or guardians online.
