Seven adults are now charged in Linn County with attempting to have sexual relations with a child under the age of 16.

The Cedar Rapids Police Department recently went undercover on social media to engage with those who thought they were talking with a minor under the age of 16.

All seven suspects have been charged and have been taken into custody.

There is an eighth person's arrest that is expected soon.

Lieutenant Tony Robinson of the CRPD Criminal Investigation Division says, "Operations like this are a key component in CRPD’s ongoing efforts to provide a safe and secure community for all. This kind of work isn’t often seen by residents until arrests are made public, but we are constantly engaged in efforts to hold criminals accountable for their actions.”
