A significant sex trafficking operation in Houston, Texas, led to raids being carried out on nine bars and clubs last week.
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) and the Human Trafficking Rescue Alliance led the raids, with help from the FBI, state police, and local police.
The TABC said the raids resulted from an approximate 10-year investigation that helped identify at least 50 potential victims.
“This operation was a massive undertaking that is likely the largest of its kind in Texas history,” TABC Chairman Kevin J. Lilly in a statement, according to FOX 26 Houston.
