Operation Checkmate Arrests 29 Suspects

Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters just announced a major crackdown called “Operation Checkmate,” resulting in 29 arrests targeting predators attempting to meet minors for sex. Undercover officers posed as teens online, luring suspects into real-life encounters where law enforcement—sometimes even SWAT—waited to intervene. The arrests spanned all walks of life, including a shocking case involving a youth athletics coach. The JSO is stressing the importance of these operations to curb demand for child exploitation and urging parents to stay alert—and anyone with suspicions to report it immediately via the Cyber Tipline or by calling 1-800-THE-LOST.
