It's probably more a matter of gathering enough evidence for a conviction worthy of a lengthy prison term instead of just a slap on the wrist.

Investigations take time. You find out there's more pimps pushing more children, and you have to start collecting evidence against them as well, without making arrests on the others and blowing the whistle on the whole (taxpayer funded) investigation. It stinks sometimes, but it saves a greater number of children from these predators in the end.
