Detroit— Federal agents rescued six children who were forced to work as prostitutes across Metro Detroit, the FBI said Monday.
The five girls and one boy, ages 13-17, were rescued as part of a three-day nationwide crackdown on child prostitution in 57 cities that ended Saturday.
In Operation Cross Country, 79 children were rescued. Locally, investigators arrested 22 customers and five pimps and recovered more than $53,000 in cash and assets, FBI spokesman Simon Shaykhet said.
"It's clear that child prostitution and sex trafficking do not just occur somewhere else on the other side of the world," Shaykhet said.
