8 People Arrested During Clackamas County Interagency Undercover Child Sex Luring Sting. - 12/02/22
On December 1, 2022, the Milwaukie Police Department hosted a Clackamas County Interagency child sex luring sting. Undercover police investigators used a variety of social networking applications and websites posing as decoy boys and girls under the age of 15. Decoy investigators did not engage users of the sites unless they were contacted by those people. Several people learned in those conversations the decoys were underage and terminated the interaction.
Predators contacted decoy investigators and offered to meet someone they believed to be a child for agreed sexual acts. Upon arriving to the location anxious to meet the child, they were instead greeted by Police and taken into custody.
The Milwaukie Police Department would like to thank the Clackamas County Sheriff’s office Investigations, Interagency Task Force and SWAT, Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office, Oregon City Police, Molalla Police, Sandy Police, Lake Oswego Police, Clackamas County Parole and Probation and technical assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) for their teamwork on these investigations. Clackamas County Agencies routinely conduct these undercover sting operations targeting child predators.
Parents and guardians of children are strongly encouraged to monitor and help their children safely navigate online social networking on computers and smartphones. Additional information and resources can be found on the FBI website located at www.fbi.gov/news/stories/keeping-kids-safe-online.
