Eight suspected child sexual predators were arrested in New Mexico following a multi-agency operation led by the New Mexico Department of Justice. All suspects were charged with crimes, including child solicitation via electronic devices and attempted criminal sexual penetration.
"Various agents established decoy accounts on a number of different non-traditional digital platforms," said Attorney General Raúl Torrez during a Monday news conference when describing their modus operandi. "As a result, they were able to initiate contact with several suspects."
