In July 2025, a record-breaking child predator sting in Marion County, Florida led to 48 arrests and 153 charges after undercover officers posed as children online. Many suspects attempted to meet who they thought were minors through platforms like Snapchat—only to be met by law enforcement. Sheriff Billy Woods urged parents to stay vigilant about their children’s online activity, warning that predators are actively seeking them out.

This historic operation is a reminder that predators are everywhere, but so are protectors. As a community, we must remain alert, educate our children, and continue standing against those who seek to harm them.
