Federal officials announced on Tuesday that the FBI found 200 victims of sex trafficking and arrested 126 suspects of child sexual exploitation and human trafficking offenses and another 68 suspects of trafficking during a two-week child exploitation operation in July, known as “Operation Cross County.”

Over the two-week operation in July, the FBI and its partners identified 59 minor victims of child sex trafficking and child sexual exploitation offenses. They also located 59 actively missing children.

“Sex traffickers exploit and endanger some of the most vulnerable members of our society and cause their victims unimaginable harm,” Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a statement.

He applauded the significant efforts of the FBI and its partners in locating actively missing children and arresting those accountable for such heinous crimes.

“This operation, which located 59 actively missing children, builds on the tremendous work the FBI has undertaken over many years to rescue minor victims and arrest those responsible for these unspeakable crimes. We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners across the country to prevent human trafficking; increase detection, investigation, and prosecution of human trafficking crimes; and expand support and services to protect and empower survivors,” Garland added.

The nationwide initiative, led by the FBI in partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), primarily focused on identifying and locating victims of sex trafficking and investigating and apprehending those involved in child sex and human trafficking.

“Human traffickers’ prey on the most vulnerable members of our society, and their crimes scar victims – many of them children – for life. The FBI’s commitment to combatting this threat will never waver, and we will continue to send our message that these atrocities will not be tolerated,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray.

“This operation would not be possible without the commitment and collaboration from our state and local law enforcement partners, and it demonstrates our continued focus on actively pursuing the criminals responsible for these heinous violations and connecting those impacted with dedicated victim services and resources,” he added.

But according to mainstream media, this is a QAnon conspiracy and for “dads with brainworms.”

Three former employees of Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc. have filed a lawsuit against the company, its owner Melissa Jefferson (professionally known as “Lizzo”), and former tour manager Shirlene Quigley.

Crystal Williams, Arianna Davis, and Noelle Rodriguez allege that they were subjected to a hostile work environment that included sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation during their employment with the company.

The lawsuit, filed by the plaintiffs’ attorney Ronald Zambrano of West Coast Employment Lawyers, APLC, alleges that the harassment was so severe and pervasive that it altered the terms and conditions of their employment, making their working conditions intolerable.

According to the complaint, the plaintiffs were pressured into participating in a nude photoshoot as contestants on WOFTBG, a widely known reality show.

The plaintiffs’ dance cast captain, defendant Ms. Quigley, is accused of frequently discussing her sexual fantasies and masturbation habits in lurid detail with the cast. The lawsuit goes further to claim that she would publicly practice her oral sex skills on bananas during breaks.

According to the lawsuit, Lizzo has consistently pressured her employees to partake in sexually explicit activities. This includes an incident at Bananenbar in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where Lizzo is accused of coercing her employees to engage with nude performers.

Lizzo also encouraged her employees to catch sex toys ejected from the performers’ vaginas and bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas. The complaint mentions that Ms. Davis repeatedly expressed her discomfort, but her objections were allegedly ignored.

“Plaintiffs and other employees watched as an elated LIZZO shouted at her security guard to remove his pants while he was being whipped,” according to the lawsuit obtained by Deadline.

Lizzo, known for her stance on body positivity, was accused of weight-shaming one of her dancers.

On April 21, 2023, Ms. DAVIS was called into a private meeting with Lizzo and choreographer Tanisha Scott (Ms. Scott). During the meeting, the pair questioned Ms. Davis about changes in her performance and attitude on the dance cast.

In the professional dance world, a dancer’s weight gain is often interpreted as a sign of laziness or declining performance. Ms. Davis alleges that Lizzo and Ms. Scott’s concerns about her commitment to the tour were thinly veiled references to her recent weight gain, a change that Lizzo had previously noticed and commented on at the South by Southwest music festival.

According to the plaintiff, the line of questioning, paired with Lizzo’s previous comments, gave her the impression that she needed to justify her weight gain and share intimate personal details to keep her job.

“The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly, while privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are not only illegal but absolutely demoralizing,” lawyer Ron Zambrano said in a statement.
