US investigators have arrested 14 people and rescued 10 victims in an undercover human trafficking operation.
Detectives conducted an investigation at the massive Comic-Con International exhibition last weekend in San Diego.
The task force was looking at Comic-Con for victims and sex buyers using the convention to find potential victims, CBS News reported.
The undercover investigation was conducted at an event where presentations of new films, games or other products usually take place.
Undercover police posted ads posing as clients.
As a result of the operation, 14 criminals were arrested, nine adult victims and one minor were released.
