An unnamed law enforcement officer is one of 64 people arrested in a human trafficking bust in Fort Bend, according to a press release from Constable Wayne Thompson's office.

During a three-week period in July, the Fort Bend County Constable’s Office, Precinct 3, and the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office conducted "Operation Freedom," which resulted in the major bust.

"Charges filed over the course of this operation included promotion of prostitution, compelling prostitution, various narcotics charges, evading, fraud, forgery and failure to identify," the press release said. "Even today, with a rapid ascension in cases, a denial persists in suburban society that this horrific crime has infected America," said the release.

Fort Bend District Attorney Brian Middleton and Constable Wayne Thompson will host a press briefing regarding the sting on Friday. More details of the operation will be made available on Fort Bend Independent at that time.
