Six Are Arrested in Operation Hidden Thunder
The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office conducted a proactive undercover investigation coordinated by its Criminal Investigations Division and the Crime Suppression Unit where six people were arrested over a two day period beginning last Wednesday, Sept. 14.
The purpose of “Operation Hidden Thunder” was to arrest persons who communicate with children on-line and then travel to meet them for the purpose of having sex. On-line child predators visit websites on the internet, find children, begin conversations with them, introduce sexual content and arrange a meeting with the children for the purpose of having sex. The children these predators target are both boys and girls.
The following are the six individuals that were arrested and their accompanying charges:
