“The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force is committed to keeping our children safe and we will continue to aggressively pursue those that seek to victimize our children through the internet,” Montgomery County District Attorney Brett Ligon said in a written statement. “This will continue to be reflected by the number of those arrested and charged in Montgomery County until the message is heard -- we will not tolerate sexual exploitation of our children online in Montgomery County.”
Prosecutors asked anyone who believes they may have been victimized by the suspects to call the Task Force tip line at 936-760-6910.
