ARRESTS & CONVICTIONS

In the war against child trafficking, each victory is not just a number—it represents spared children. At Veterans For Child Rescue (V4CR), our victories come in the form of child predators taken off the streets, their reign of terror halted.


To date, we have accomplished more than  29 arrests across the United States with a 100% conviction rate. Behind these numbers are the faces of the predators we've put behind bars. But remember, each one also signifies countless innocent lives saved.


A Sobering Reality: 1 Child Predator = An Average of 70 Victims

Statistics reveal that a single child predator abuses an average of 70 children. Not 70 instances of abuse but 70 innocent lives scarred. Each arrest we make isn't just a victory for one child; it's a victory for potentially dozens of future victims.


Our founder, Craig "Sawman" Sawyer, puts it powerfully: "Every child predator we arrest and take off the street, preventing them from causing harm, saves potentially hundreds of children from unthinkable abuse."

Operation Child Safe Nets 2 Arrests & Multiple Warrants

March 2023

Veterans For Child Rescue (V4CR) continues to make strides in the fight against child exploitation. Our recent operation in Webb County, Texas, led to the arrest of 2 child predators, bringing them to justice for their alleged heinous acts.


Alfonso David Soliz, a former jailer and sibling of a Sheriff's Department Sgt., found himself on the other side of the bars. Soliz, who had a prior federal probation record, was arrested for online solicitation of a minor. In addition, an arrest warrant for assault and family violence was served against him. 


Alongside him, Rodolfo Orlando Aranda was also charged with online solicitation of a minor. 


But our work doesn't stop here. We're pushing forward with the momentum, having filed an additional 12 warrants, with more investigations underway.  Every arrest is a step closer to a world free from child exploitation.

Super Bowl Operations

February 2023

During the Super Bowl, our expert V.I.P.R. (Veterans Interdicting Pedophile Rings) team was on the ground, meticulously conducting surveillance and intelligence operations.

We're elated to report that our unrelenting efforts resulted in the identification of numerous child predators. Moreover, we've secured 5 crucial warrants, which we anticipate will soon lead to arrests and convictions.

CONNECTICUT

Police identified and charged five men with criminal attempt to commit second-degree sexual assault and criminal attempt to commit risk of injury, Guilford police Lt. Timothy Bernier said in a news release. The five were taken into custody as the result of a coordinated joint sting operation with Veterans For Child Rescue. 

Bail for each set at $500,000, according to a release from police.


"Operation “Not in My Town” was a joint effort involving the Guilford Police Department, Veterans 4 Child Rescue Foundation and the New Haven office of the state’s attorney as well as other local police departments. When police posted a phony decoy ad on social media supposedly placed by a 13-year-old girl wanting to have sex, there were more than 5,000 “hits” on the ad within just 30 days, according to Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Brian Sibley Sr., the lead prosecutor in human trafficking cases. His work is being done in conjunction with the chief state’s attorney’s office. “Parents need to know there are that many predators preying on kids looking to get involved in these activities,” Sibley said after court adjourned. “It’s going on in every community,” Sibley added. “You think about this small town of Guilford. It’s extremely scary.”
