## Resource

Law enforcement just pulled off a major sting in Norwalk, using fake teen profiles to catch predators online — and it paid off big time. A joint operation between Norwalk, Stamford PD, and Homeland Security netted several arrests, with four men charged with sexual assault and endangering a minor, each facing a $500K bond. They’re all set for court on June 26th, and the investigation isn’t done — more arrests could be coming. This proactive digital crackdown is vital for keeping kids safe from exploitation.
