A Rhode Island man is among six people arrested in a nationwide child exploitation bust.
Police say 35-year-old Thomas Angelina and the other suspects face charges in connection with "Operation Anvil Strike" which began in Bedford County, Virginia in October.
Rhode Island State Police and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force say Angelina has been extradited to Virginia.
The other defendants are from Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New York and South Carolina.
They all face charges that include the use of communications systems to facilitate offenses involving children.
