A multiagency operation in Central Florida led to the arrest of 16 suspected child predators after undercover online sting operations.
The operation involved Homeland Security, Osceola, Polk, and local police departments engaging as minors online.
Attorney General James Uthmeier framed the arrests as part of a broader effort to remove predators from Florida streets.
Since Uthmeier’s appointment, officials say about 1,400 suspected child predators have been arrested in Florida.
HB 1159, signed by DeSantis, broadens penalties for offenses involving child exploitation and related crimes.
Officials noted additional arrests of about 30 suspected predators occurred elsewhere in Florida in recent days.
The arrests stemmed from leads on social media, with suspects allegedly traveling to meet potential victims.
Officials emphasized commitment to continuing prosecutions of child exploitation cases.
DHS and Florida law enforcement stressed a joint effort to protect families from predators.
The report cites a news conference where Uthmeier discussed the arrests and HB 1159.
