Local, state and federal authorities announced Tuesday they've arrested 48 people and rescued 8 children during an operation aimed at combating human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
'Operation Better Pathways' launched in January.
"The youngest victim rescued during this operation was 13 years old," said SDPD Chief David Nisleit."She was seen walking the street and waiting for someone to pick her up and buy sex from her. Officers rescued her and she was reunited with her family."

Oh gosh.
❤yes thank you. I will always love you Diego. Thank you for everything with this.
By criminalizing prostitution this will keep happening forever. It’s a hopeless fight.
Making prostitution legal would make things worse. What the hell are you talking about? By legalizing prostitution, more women/children will be used by those who profit off them.
I believe you’re erroneously conflating two different issues. Prostitution and trafficking are two different actions.
It’s the oldest trade. It’s a victimless crime.
@Steph prostitution is already legal. The government just want their cut. And what children, I don’t see any in the video. They’re just street hookers in the video. For human trafficking they would have to kidnap the children and then keep them in the room otherwise they would run away if they’re allowed to roam on the street.
@WestOfEarth Honestly they count escorts whos traveling to a different location as trafficked. High end independent escorts who are visiting another location to provide their services. Police ad them to the number of trafficked people so the public think its a huge issue. Those women are independent mature people who is making a great living for themselves and their families. They are NOT being trafficked!
Why are they blurring their faces? Expose them fot us to be safer.
Make prostitution legal instead of making it go under ground. I agree on not having people walking around soliciting. But once it is online and in a classy mature fashion that does not hurt anyone.
@Marylin Monroe I’d be happy to. Please discontinue showering us with whatever you’re showering us with. I wouldn’t want to incur any unwanted charges.
@Marylin Monroe Marylin Monroe is DEAD. Do you understand?
@Marylin Monroe its right there in the headline, 8 children. Legalizing adult prostitution will NOT decrease the number of children that are trafficked.
@offgrid You missing the point.
@offgrid if you listen to all info in the video then you understand my comments
Change the drug laws back to where it use to be while you are at it. So there will be no drugdealers trashing this neighborhood. And teach the sex workers better marketing skills and programming so they can go online.
That’s right ONLINE HELP AMERICA’S LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES MEN AND WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER.

Jump in the chiper

Throw u in there
@Steve Robinson been
@Thomas Gentry good! GET BACK IN AND STAY 99 YEARS THIS TIME CHUMLEY
@Steve Robinson Karma coming for you!
This Is all about the money haha someone fell behind payments very interesting
laws that do not allow the cops to target the victims is not the problem – protecting the identities of the pimps and jons is the problem ..
This is ridiculous that the PREDATORS are not shown. How do we protect AMERICA’S CHILDREN WHEN THE PREDATORS ARE BEING SHIELDED FROM BEING SEEN.
@Janet there’s a young man in san diego that’s caught many sex predators – but the d.a. REFUSES to investigate or prosecute the predators ..
Just legalize prostitution. Im sick of hearing these disgusting stories.
What about the johns????
How hard is it to walk up to someone who appears young if they’re being sex trafficked? Hello, I’m a detective. Are you being trafficked? I can help you, protect you, and reunite you with your family. Unless they caused this themselves.
Most people in this business think they get in trouble so they won’t speak to police. Plus if they have a pimp etc and they are young they are even more afraid. Definitely not a good situation for those kind of people and they need help.
Again blame the democrats
Reopen the gallow.
How soon before they’re on the streets again 🤔
How are so many people so sick? Awful.

Donald Trump is a predator. 🙄
This world needs Jesus 💔💔💔
Humanity has become more and more disgusting over the decades. Some of these victims are children that have been kidnapped/abducted and drugged and put into these situations
Been happening since day 1
