In an unprecedented nationwide operation to protect children and National Child Abuse Prevention Month, last month, the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced “Operation Restore Justice.”
“Operation Restore Justice” was a five-day, sweeping FBI initiative to identify, track, and arrest child sex predators across the country with all 55 FBI field offices participating, including FBI Boston.
One of those arrested was registered sex offender Joseph A. Maile, of Presque Isle. He is charged by criminal complaint for allegedly attempting to sex traffic a child, and enticement of a minor. Maile allegedly used social media accounts to offer various minors’ money to engage in sex acts with him.
The FBI arrested 205 subjects and rescued 115 children across the country during the surge of resources deployed for “Operation Restore Justice.”
