The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office announced Monday that dozens of arrests have been made in “Operation Bad Apple.”
The operation, which was conducted alongside the United States Marshals, took place from March 28 to June 10 of this year.
“The operation had a primary focus, but not limited to; sexual offenders and sexual predators who have prior state or federal convictions for production, transmission, and/or possession of child pornography/sexual performance of a child; transmission of harmful material to a minor; or video voyeurism,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a release.
A total of 56 people were arrested and lodged in the Osceola County Jail.
The Justice Department’s website describes child pornography as a type of child sexual exploitation.
“Federal law defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (persons less than 18 years old),” it states.
It continued:
“Images of child pornography are also referred to as child sexual abuse images.”
“The expansion of the Internet and advanced digital technology lies parallel to the explosion of the child pornography market.“
“Child pornography images are readily available through virtually every Internet technology, including social networking websites, file-sharing sites, photo-sharing sites, gaming devices, and even mobile apps.”
“Child pornography offenders can also connect on Internet forums and networks to share their interests, desires, and experiences abusing children, in addition to selling, sharing, and trading images.“
