Paxton Touts Hundreds of Child Predator Arrests
More than 1,600 convictions have been secured by Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Child Exploitation Unit as part of its efforts to combat online predators and child po*******hy. As Brandon Waltens reports, the data was released yesterday as part of an update on the attorney general’s law enforcement operations.
According to the Office of the Attorney General, the unit has made arrests for a variety of online crimes against children, including those related to solicitation and po*******hy.
Paxton’s Human Trafficking Unit has separately made 373 arrests and secured 126 convictions.
The OAG's Fugitive Apprehension Unit has now made 18,291 arrests since its inception, including 68 individuals on the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Top 10 Most Wanted List. That unit has also recovered nearly 200 missing and endangered children.
Meanwhile, of course, Democrat James Talarico says he spends his free time thinking about his love of trans children.
