Omaha Sting Targets Online Child Predators | Omaha News
Description
Homeland Security agents in Omaha just shut down a chilling online predator ring, arresting five people who targeted children across state lines — and it’s happening right here in our neighborhoods. Working with federal, state, and local partners, they caught 46 out of 146 suspects still interested in trafficking minors after being told the “worker” was underage. Supervisory Special Agent Chris Hessenflow revealed HSI has made 21 arrests in five years alone — predators hiding in plain sight on digital platforms. Two arrested were repeat offenders already on Nebraska’s registry. U.S. Attorney Lesley Woods called it a success: these aren’t just chats — they’re real threats stopped before harm strikes.
