200+ alleged child predators arrested in FBI operation, officials say

  • The FBI led Operation Restore Justice, a five-day nationwide effort ending in early May 2025, arresting 205 alleged child sex predators across all 55 field offices.
  • The operation leveraged the Department of Justice’s sustained efforts—backed by specialized units within the Criminal Division and collaboration with U.S. Attorney Offices nationwide—to address and prevent child sexual exploitation.
  • During the operation, authorities saved 115 children and apprehended suspects—including law enforcement personnel and civilians from multiple states—who are now federally charged with offenses involving child exploitation.
  • FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized that child predators have nowhere to hide, while Attorney General Pamela Bondi stated that those found guilty of such crimes will receive the harshest possible sentences.
  • The operation reinforces the message that child predators nationwide will be relentlessly pursued and prosecuted, highlighting collaboration among federal, state, and local agencies to protect vulnerable children.
