28 Children Rescued, 59 Adults Arrested in Massive DFW Child Porn InvestigationMore than two dozen children have been rescued and nearly 60 people are facing criminal charges related to online sexual abuse and exploitation of children, police say.
The North Texas Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and FBI Dallas Divisions Child Exploitation Task Force said Friday that from Jan. 16 through Feb. 10 highly skilled computer crimes investigators from agencies around North Texas took part in Operation Janus, an effort to identify and rescue children forced into sexual acts and arrest the abusers who were trafficking images and videos of those acts online.
The operation wrapped up Friday with the rescue of 28 children and the arrest of 59 people who are now facing at least 80 criminal charges. The investigation involved nearly three dozen law enforcement agencies from across North Texas and from as far away as Alaska.

Billionaire linked to Sarah Ferguson accused of financing sex trafficking ring
Trammell Crow Jr, who reportedly met with the Duchess on his Texas ranch this year, faces a lawsuit from two women
By Rozina Sabur, WASHINGTON EDITOR The Telegraph, 20 March 2023 8:53pm
A billionaire Texan property tycoon linked to the Duchess of York has been accused of financing a sex-trafficking ring in the US.
Trammell Crow Jr, who Sarah Ferguson has reportedly struck up a friendship with, has been named in a lawsuit by two women who claim he financed a sex and labour trafficking venture.
Mr Crow, 72, a property magnate and environmental philanthropist, met with the Duchess on his ranch near Austin, Texas earlier this year according to The Sun.
Mr Crow inherited his large fortune from his father Fred Trammell Crow, once known as Americas biggest landlord and a major Republican donor.
He reportedly struck up an unlikely friendship with the Duchess over their shared interest in environmental issues".
It has since emerged that Mr Crow is facing a lawsuit from two women who claim they were sexually abused in a trafficking venture for which he provided the essential financial assistance.
