human trafficking and pedophiles in the Trump administration

I'm curious, has anyone kept a tally of all the pedophile, human trafficking cases related to the Trump administration?

Now with all the missing children it seems even more important to dig into this. It seems to me there are a lot of these who have been uncovered.
Recently there was
"Timothy Nolan, a 71-year-old former Campbell County district judge, pleaded guilty to human trafficking and other felony sex crimes involving minors, according to multiple reports."

Nolan is also a conservative political activist and worked on President Trump’s campaign in Kentucky during the 2016 presidential race."

Then there was:
"Trump's Oklahoma campaign chair to plead guilt to child sex trafficking"

And then"
"Trump says he backs Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, who has been accused of molesting several teenage girls."

Moore has not been convicted,
Prominent Republicans such as John McCain and Mitt Romney called for Moore to drop out of the race after the allegations were reported.[128][129] Other senators withdrew their endorsements of Moore's Senate candidacy.[130][131][132][133] Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that he believes the women who made the accusations and that Moore should "step aside".[134] Speaker of the House Paul Ryan also called for Moore to abandon his campaign.[135] President Donald Trump initially said Moore should step aside if the charges are true, but otherwise expressed support for Moore.[136] Trump later formally endorsed Moore.[137][138] Alabama Republicans have largely defended Moore from the accusations;[139][140] an exception was Richard Shelby, the state's U.S. Senator since 1987, who said two days before the election the accusations against Moore "are believable" and that "Alabama deserves better." He said he wrote in the name of another Republican on his absentee ballot.[110]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Moore#Sexual_misconduct_allegations

Maybe we should be keeping track. I knew about shortey and moore, but not the kentucky ex judge.

I seriously worry about the detainees and those that are missing. How do we even prove those that were said to have been sent back really were?
