Rich Welsh| vIn the New Orleans area, 5 missing teenage girls were rescued during an operation run by the US Marshals Service, that arrested thirty sex offenders when all was said and done.
Between mid-October and Christmas Eve, “Operation Boo Dat” was executed and netted the rescue of 5 teenage girls whose ages ranged from 14 to 17-years-old. Thirty people were arrested in the operation and that included 17 who have been accused of felony sex offender registration violations, according to a press release by the US Marshals.
The missing teenage girls were rescued through the cooperative efforts of the New Orleans Police Department, The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office, the Louisiana State Police and the US Marshals’ New Orleans Task Force.
Among the demented sickos arrested were two men who were wanted, one for the rape of a 12-year-old close to New Orleans and the other for the rape of a 14-year-old girl in Texas.
One of the girls, a 16-year-old, who had run away from home after she allegedly stole a relative’s vehicle and a handgun, according to the release, was found at a New Orleans home living with several adults, including a strip club dancer, the Marshals said.
Two teens rescued were sisters ages 15 and 16 who “may be victims of adult(s) felony criminal sexual activities,” the press release said. Those girls were found in an apartment in Baton Rouge.
The latest arrested was Kuimar Stephens on December 22. He tried to run away from officers through the window of a home on the 6900 block of Yorktown Drive in New Orleans.
This reprobate was wanted on a warrant from August 2020 for a failure to appear in court because of a felony failure to register as a sex offender, according to the Marshals.
Stephens did not update his registration since 2020. He was also wanted on a separate warrant from the New Orleans Police Department charging that he was in possession of a rifle.
“This stems from a November 21st, 2021, shooting incident in the 3400 block of Pleasure Street where it is alleged that person(s) shot at Stephens over one hundred times and an AK-47 variant rifle was recovered by New Orleans Police Department at the scene of the shooting,” US Marshals said in a press release.
“During Operation Boo Dat over one hundred sex offender compliance checks were also attempted or completed in Orleans and Jefferson Parishes,” the press release said. “Sex Offender compliance checks require law enforcement officers to go to the sex offender’s reported address of residence to verify that the person still lives at the provided address. Often countless hours of follow up investigative work are required during and after a compliance check.”

Child sex offenders are even lower than Democrat politicians in Washington, DC. However, people who sexually abuse children should be buried under the prison.
