WALTON COUNTY, Fla— An elaborate multi-agency investigation dubbed Operation Wolves Blanket has resulted in the arrest of 12 men on charges of child solicitation.

Over a five-day period, Walton County Sheriff’s Office conducted the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) operation to target those seeking out children for sexual activity.

In conjunction with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Investigations Bureau, the State Attorney’s Office, Panama City Beach Police, Panama City Police Department, and deputies from Escambia, Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Offices, investigators ran the operation starting Wednesday, January 26th through Sunday, January 30th.

“Our goal was to identify child predators and get them out of our communities,” said Sheriff Michael Adkinson. “There is no shortage of these individuals preying on our youth; we must all be vigilant.”

During the effort, investigators act undercover as minors to identify people who used the internet to solicit minors. They began communicating with the suspects, men ages 18 to 48 traveling from as far as Mississippi, ultimately setting up a location to carry out an arrest.
