According to the CL report, through the Innocence Lost National Initiative, almost 900 children have been rescued since its inception in 2003, and arrests made have led to more than 500 convictions, states the FBI.
"There is no work more important than protecting America's children and freeing them from the cycle of victimization," said Kevin Perkins, assistant director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division.
