PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The FBI says it recovered three girls in a child sex trafficking sting operation that resulted in prostitution charges against 19 adults in the Portland area.
FBI agents said they worked with more than a dozen other local and federal agencies in the Portland and Vancouver, Wash., metro area to run the sting last Thursday through Saturday.
The Portland metro operation was part of Operation Cross Country 5, marking the fifth national law enforcement action against child sex trafficking.
The FBI says the operation has recovered 69 children nationally.
