Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County will be holding a press conference on Thursday at 1:00 pm to discuss the recent arrests.

According to sources, a group of officers conducted “Operation May’s Monsters” to catch people who were in possession of or distributing child pornography.

Authorities arrested a total of eight individuals, which included a worker from Disney, a self-employed photographer who specializes in intimate photography, and personnel from prominent retail establishments, as per law enforcement officials.

The guys have been hit with a whopping 1,280 serious charges.

According to experts, the child pornography confiscated contained numerous images and videos that featured young children, including infants and toddlers, engaged in sexual activities or displayed in sexually explicit positions. The investigators reportedly discovered thousands of such photos and videos.

Each time one of these monsters upload and share child pornography, they are feeding a child exploitation pipeline

“These videos and photographs are some of the most horrific my detectives have ever seen – images of children being forced to expose their genitalia and raped,” Judd said. “Each time one of these monsters upload and share child pornography, they are feeding a child exploitation pipeline and they are victimizing children over and over again. Parents, this is another stark reminder of why it is important to get all in your child’s business when it comes to their gaming stations, cell phones, and other electronic devices.”
