Genesee County Sheriff Robert Pickell posted about the arrests on Monday morning.
"My task force was created under a “build it and they will come” philosophy. For those targeting our innocent children however, Genesee County is no field of dreams, it has become their nightmare. This preparatory behavior has led to the loss of reputation, jobs, and freedom," Pickell wrote. "The Genesee County Sheriff’s Office will continue this proactive approach, to keep our homes and children safe from these predators."
Earlier this year, the task force announced 22 arrests connected to a similar sting operation.
