The Federal Government Involved in Prostitution Sting

The FBI was involved in a nationwide sweep to remove kids, believed to be teen-age prostitutes, from the illegal sex trade. Federal agents working with local law enforcement also arrested more than 50 alleged pimps. Historically, federal authorities rarely play a role in anti-prostitution crackdowns, but the FBI is becoming more involved as it tries to rescue children caught up in the business. 

By pursuing these alleged criminal’s “federally”, the effort is intended to sentence pimps with much tougher prison terms than they would likely get in state criminal courts. Government prosecutors also seek to bring racketeering charges or conspiracy charges that can result in decades of jail time. Wiretaps and undercover sting operations were required to be conducted in order to bring charges.
