You Won\'t Believe Which Walking Dead Star Helped Bring Down A Criminal Organization

Andrea isn\'t quite done with being a bad-ass hero! This time instead of taking on the flesh-eating walking dead, actress Laurie Holden has helped arrest some truly disgusting child sex traffickers in Colombia, and she credits the Walking Dead in helping out!

Colombia is a major source country for child sex trafficking and is often seen by pedophiles as a vacation destination for underage sex. Child prostitutes, as young as 11 years old, are sourced through the local touts and pimps and brought directly to the \'buyers\' at their accommodation to be sold.

However, there is hope for these victims thanks to the efforts of Operation Underground Railroad who run sting operations to get these revolting criminals behind bars, and The Walking Dead\'s Laurie Holden has helped do just that.

took place in Cartagena, Colombia. A group from Operation Underground Railroad went undercover as tourists looking to hire young and underage girls for sex for a party at their rented mansion, to lure the sex traffickers into their trap. The mansion was decorated with balloons and banners, like a teenager\'s birthday party so the number of young women arriving at the house didn\'t arouse suspicion. Unbeknownst to the criminals, the house was also under heavy surveillance to catch their activities on camera.

Once the traffickers and girls were inside, Holden, who had to wear a disguise to avoid being recognized, was responsible for keeping the young girls occupied while hidden cameras caught the pimps on tape so they could be arrested. Something which she called "the biggest acting challenge in the history of all time."

The 44-year-old actress also mentioned that it was thanks to her time on

The Walking Dead that she felt prepared, telling ABC news:

I was trained by a Navy Seal when I did The Walking Dead so I feel kind of like I can protect myself

And it seemed like she could, the sting was a success, with the arrest of 12 criminals and the rescue of 55 sex trafficking victims. An awesome and truly heartwarming effort from Operation Underground Railroad and Laurie Holden, someone who is definitely a brave character both on and off screen.
