US Marshals' 'Operation Boo Dat' rescues five missing and endangered New Orleans teens during raids which saw SEVENTEEN sex offenders including child rape suspects arrested
[MAIL] A law enforcement operation in New Orleans found five missing teenage girls, some of whom may have been trafficked, and led to the arrest of 17 people for felony sex offender registration violations.
'Operation Boo Dat' - conducted by the US Marshals Service's New Orleans Task Force in partnership with state, county and local authorities - lasted from mid-October to December 24.
The rescued teens range in age from 14 to 17.
One of them is a 16-year-old girl who ran away from home after allegedly stealing a relative's car and a handgun. She was found living in a house with several adults, including an 'adult female strip club dancer.'
One of the suspects, Lorenzo Oliver, will have to register as a sex offender for life after he was arrested on December 10 for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl in an abandoned home on the West Bank of New Orleans.
Oliver was previously convicted of attempted forcible rape and sexual battery in 2015 after he followed a woman into a library bathroom and tried to rape her, according to the Marshals Service.
