CAIR Leader Arrested in Major Child Sex Trafficking Ring Bust, “These are very dangerous people
and they are after our children." By Mark Tapson, 6/3/16
WND
reports that more than 100 people, including the Orlando leader of the Council
of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), were arrested in a two-county Florida
sex-sting operation, many of whom were allegedly trying to have sex with
children.
“These
are very dangerous people and they are after our children,” said Grady Judd of
the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. The Office released the following in
a statement:
The first week of the operation targeted adults who
were looking for sex with a child. During this phase, the detectives posed as
either a child or a parent of a child as they were solicited by those
interested in sexual activity with the child. As this phase progressed, 22
individuals were arrested after traveling to the location to have sex with who
they believed to be a child, two of whom were already registered sex offenders.
The age range for the target child was 10-14 years old in these cases.
Among
those 22 arrested was Ahmad Saleem, a Muslim youth coordinator and
the Orlando coordinator for CAIR. “He’s well-known as a community
outreach leader interacting with teens in and around the Orlando area,” said
Judd. The car Saleem traveled in had a license plate that said,
“Invest in children."
Saleem is
the founder of the Saleem Academy, an organization “empowering Muslim
youth globally.” A note posted at the
Academy website Tuesday read,
“Closed. May God bless you, guide you, and illuminate the right path for you,
and keep you firm on it. Keep me in your prayers.”
In
addition to the 22 arrested, 79 others were arrested on charges connected
to prostitution. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office statement continued:
During the second week of the operation, detectives
targeted those involved in crimes related to prostitution. As this portion of
the operation progressed, 79 individuals were arrested on charges related to
prostitution. Some of those arrested in this phase were also in possession of
drugs and were therefore charged accordingly.”
Many
of those arrested had jobs working with children, WND.com noted, including
theme-park workers at Universal Orlando and SeaWorld, and a former Walt Disney
World cast member who left the job before his arrest. SeaWorld said the men
charged were no longer employed at the theme park. H/t Pamela Geller
