Internet Crimes Against Children & Human Trafficking
Helping to keep your kids safe.
No victim is more innocent than a child. Our Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force works closely with state and federal agencies to identify, investigate, and stop child predators before they can cause harm. We are committed to using every lawful tool available to keep children safe.
We invite you to watch this video to learn more about the critical work of our task force — and discover ways you can help us protect the children of Montgomery County.
The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office created the Internet Crimes Against Children – Human Trafficking Section (ICAC-HT) to serve as the first line of defense for children and adults at risk of sexual exploitation. This specialized section is made up of highly trained prosecutors and investigators who focus on identifying, investigating, and prosecuting crimes involving online child exploitation and human trafficking.
Our ICAC-HT team is part of a national network that includes 61 coordinated task forces and nearly 5,400 affiliated federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. The team’s work centers on proactive and reactive investigations, digital forensic examinations, prosecutions, and community education. Crimes investigated by the section include Online Solicitation of a Minor, Promotion and Possession of Child Pornography, Sexual Performance of a Child, Human Trafficking, and other technology-facilitated offenses.
To support these efforts, the District Attorney’s Office operates an in-house digital forensic laboratory that plays a vital role in examining electronic devices connected to these cases. Our office is also proud to be affiliated with the Houston Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The investigative team includes personnel from the Texas Department of Public Safety, Conroe Police Department, Montgomery County Constable’s Offices, Magnolia Police Department, Oak Ridge North Police Department, Roman Forest Police Department, and the District Attorney’s Office.
The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office, along with Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, are members of the Human Trafficking Rescue Alliance for the Southern District of Texas.
