FBI: Local child-prostitution roundup snares more than 100 in Bay Area

More than 100 people have been arrested throughout the Bay Area as part of a nationwide FBI sting operation targeting child prostitution, an FBI spokesman said Monday.

Arrests were made the past several days in Oakland, Concord, San Jose, Campbell, Morgan Hill, San Mateo, Santa Rosa, San Rafael and San Francisco, FBI spokesman Joe Schadler said. Some children who were forced into prostitution were rescued as part of the operation, Schadler said.

Schadler said further details would be provided at a news conference by FBI and local law enforcement officials at the Oakland Police Department today.

The nationwide sting, called “Operation Cross Country II,” was a three-day undercover operation conducted
last week, resulting in 642 arrests in 29 cities and the rescue of 47 children.
