Скачать или смотреть OC Sheriff Special Victims Detail: Catching Sexual Predators

Over the last nine months, the OC Sheriff Special Victims Detail has conducted four operations and arrested 10 suspects who attempted to use social media and other apps to contact and victimize children and teens.



The suspects use popular social media platforms and messaging apps to groom their victims and convince them to meet for sexual acts. Although our investigators work diligently to find and catch these sexual predators, we need the community’s help to prevent these crimes from happening.


Here is how you can help safeguard your children:


• Talk to them early and often about internet and social media safety
• Make sure their accounts are set to private
• Remind them to never accept friend requests or chat with someone they don’t know
• Frequently monitor their online activities and have ongoing conversations about safety
• Consider installing a monitoring app on your devices to help identify concerning behavior and block adult content
