The FBI’s Los Angeles field office has rescued 33 missing children in an anti-human trafficking probe called “Operation Lost Angels.”
The initiative was launched on Jan. 11 and recovered sexually exploited children, some of which were considered vulnerable at the time of their disappearance, according to reports.
In a statement released Friday, the FBI revealed some victims struggled to understand the reality of their situation after being sexually exploited.
“This harmful cycle highlights the challenges victims face and those faced by law enforcement when attempting to keep victims from returning to an abusive situation. Victims may not self-identify as being trafficked or may not even realize they’re being trafficked,” the FBI statement read.
