The FBI, working alongside state and local authorities across the
U.S., rescued 79 minors being held as sex slaves, the agency announced
Monday.
The minors – two of whom were boys, the rest girls – were taken from
57 different cities during “Operation Cross Country” raids on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday.
The youngest kid was 13, while another told of being held as a sex
slave since age 11, said Kevin Perkins, the head of the FBI’s criminal
division.
Pimps were luring the kids through social media, targeting ones who
came from “dysfunctional” families and offering them gifts, Perkins told
Fox News.
