Florida Sheriff Torches Biden-Harris Admin After Arresting 25 Illegal Aliens For Sex Crimes
More than 150 individuals, including a Disney employee and 25 illegal aliens, have been arrested in an undercover human trafficking sting in Polk County, Florida. The operation led to the rescue of four human trafficking victims.
The sting, dubbed “Operation Autumn Sweep,” consisted of a five-day, multi-agency investigation that ultimately led to 157 arrests. Suspects arrested had attempted to solicit prostitutes and those who offered to commit prostitution, while two individuals were nabbed on charges relating to prostitution, according to a report from Fox 13 Tampa Bay.

Among those arrested, 47 were prostitutes and 96 were “Johns,” a term used for individuals who attempt to solicit prostitution. One individual has been identified as a suspected human trafficker, while 14 suspects are facing additional charges. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told reporters that the oldest “John” was 61, while the youngest was just 15.
According to Judd, those arrested had racked up 327 prior felony charges and 400 misdemeanor charges throughout their lives.
The sheriff added that two of the human trafficking victims were in the country illegally and had to turn 20 ‘tricks’ a day to pay off the person who trafficked them into the country. If the victims did not comply, they were beaten and choked, the sheriff added.
Officials further disclosed that one of the arrested individuals was a Disney employee who worked as a custodian at the theme park.
At one point in the press conference, Sheriff Judd had harsh words for the Biden-Harris Administration due to their handling of the border crisis. Since President Biden took office, nearly 10-million illegal aliens have entered the United States, surging past records in the fiscal years 2022 and 2023.
“25 illegal immigrants were arrested in this operation. They were from Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. 16% of these total arrests were people who should not even have been in this country, but they were here because we have a federal government that enabled these criminals to come into the country and then treated them very well,” Judd told reporters on Thursday.
The sheriff then described, in graphic detail, how the trafficking victims were forced to pay “coyote debt” to their captors. “Some of them said, ‘hey, we did it because it was easy money.’ Others said, ‘well, we came here and we were illegal, we couldn’t get employment, so we turned to prostitution.’ Some of them said ‘we were threatened and our family was threatened if we did not prostitute for the coyotes or for the human traffickers,’” Judd explained.
