More than 50 arrests are made in Texas as part of a child sex crime sting dubbed Operation Broken Heart
Officers said that the majority of the arrests involved adults grooming children online, or undercover officers posing as children. 'This is not just something that is relegated to your next door neighbor or one town away,' Houston Police Sergeant Luis Menendez-Sierra, who works closely with ICAC, said. 'Parents need to be vigilant.' 'A suspect traveled all the way from California here to Houston, where he met his victim and sexually assaulted her,' Sgt. Luis Menedez-Sierra told ABC News. 'This is not a local crime, this is not something just related to your next door neighbor, or one town away. This is a nationwide issue.' In one case involving Christopher Lakner, 26, Constable Alan Rosen said that 'during chats, he tried to convince undercover personnel he thought was a teenage girl to help kidnap children from area parks, breed them to make babies.' Lakner is alleged to have told investigators that he wanted to keep girls in cages, force them into becoming pregnant and then sell the babies. Lackner was arrested at the point where he was alleged to have arranged a meeting with what was in fact an undercover officer. He was arrested in April and is still in custody.
