TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- State, local and federal authorities have arrested 77 suspects on child pornography charges and rescued five young victims.
Gov. Charlie Crist announced the 10-week crackdown Tuesday at a news conference with "America's Most Wanted" TV host John Walsh and Attorney General Bill McCollum.
The suspects range in age from 17 to 83 and include two registered sex offenders. The last person was arrested Tuesday in Tallahassee.
Walsh called the crackdown "historic" and heaped praise on Crist and McCollum, saying he hoped both Republicans will win their next political races. Crist is running for U.S. senator and McCollum for governor.
