Defendant Arrested in Operation Relentless Justice

A Hickory man has been charged with possession of child sexual abuse material, in addition to drug and gun offenses, as part of Operation Relentless Justice.

Tony Chache See, 29, allegedly possessed and accessed with intent to view child sexual abuse material (CSAM) that involved a prepubescent minor and a minor under 12 years of age, according to the indictment.

The indictment also alleges that between March and December 2024, See distributed methamphetamine and cocaine in and around Catawba County, and possessed a firearm, including a short-barreled rifle, in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

Operation Relentless Justice was a nationwide coordinated enforcement effort to identify, track, and arrest child sex predators. The operation resulted in over 205 child victims being located and the arrests of over 293 child sexual abuse offenders.

The investigation was executed over the course of two weeks by all 56 FBI field offices, the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) in the Criminal Division, and U.S. Attorneys’ offices around the country.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi said, “We will not allow evil criminals who prey on children to evade justice. Our federal agents have worked tirelessly alongside our state and local partners to track down these vile predators, and now our prosecutors will ensure they receive severe punishments to match their horrific crimes.”

FBI Director Kash Patel said, “Operation Relentless Justice shows no child will be forgotten and that all predators targeting the most vulnerable amongst us will be held accountable. This year, the FBI has led multiple nationwide surges across the U.S. to find and arrest hundreds of child predators. We will not stop until every child can live a life free of exploitation.”

U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson said, “The name of the operation says it all – we will be relentless when it comes to protecting our children. As we did here, we will use the full resources of the Department of Justice to protect children who live in this district and put their abusers behind bars.”
