Due to the sensitive nature of these cases, officials have chosen not to release the names of those arrested to safeguard victims’ identities.

The sweep saw participation from eight law enforcement agencies, including the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office, Visalia Police Department, Dinuba Police Department, Tulare Police Department, Porterville Police Department, Lindsay Police Department, the Tulare County District Attorney’s Office, and the Tulare County Probation Department.
