EXCLUSIVE: <\/strong>Seventy people were arrested across Mississippi<\/a> in a two-week statewide operation targeting child exploitation offenders and previously convicted sex offenders, including illegal immigrants, federal officials announced.<\/p>\n

The two-week operation, dubbed “Operation Muddy Waters,” was the work of several federal, state and local agencies and generated new child exploitation charges, ranging from illegal immigrants who allegedly crossed state lines to abuse minors, to others accused of trading child sexual abuse material.<\/p>\n

The following people were arrested on charges during “Operation Muddy Waters,” according to the Department of Homeland Security:<\/p>\n

Cristian Abel Argueta Giron: An illegal immigrant from Honduras who allegedly travelled from Tennessee<\/a> to Mississippi “for the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual conduct with a minor.”<\/p>\n

“For two weeks, federal, state, and local law enforcement have been working together to find the predators who hide in plain sight in our communities. And the outstanding number of arrests made during this operation point to the power of this partnership,” Fitch said. “But the most important number coming from this operation is the one child victim that was saved from a sextortion scheme in progress. The work done in this operation made all the difference to this child and to countless others who are a little safer online right now.”<\/p>\n

The operation involved participation from the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Offices for the Northern and Southern Districts of Mississippi, the Mississippi Attorney General\u2019s Office, the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, the U.S. Marshals Service, sheriff\u2019s offices in Marshall, DeSoto, Harrison, Pearl River, and Forrest counties, the Oxford Police Department and other federal, state and local partners.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Those who choose to hide behind a computer screen<\/a> to exploit children will not remain hidden,” said Matthew Reidell, Assistant Special Agent in Charge of HSI Gulfport. “Operation Muddy Waters demonstrates HSI\u2019s unwavering commitment to protecting children, supporting victims, and holding offenders accountable. We will continue working with our federal, state and local partners to bring these crimes to light, pursue those responsible and help prevent further harm.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
