Hiding in the Dark - Child Predator Use of the Darknet
Wednesday July 17, 2024 9:00am - 9:45am EDT
Room 219
The role of technology in the facilitation of Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (OSEC) has increased significantly. The “Darknet” has become a platform and repository for the production, distribution and consumption of explicit child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The Internet has changed the way child pornography and commercial sexual exploitation offenses are committed, investigated, and prosecuted. Through the use of case study analysis, this presentation will discuss solvability factors that can contribute to addressing and mitigating for the OSEC and CSAM. So that attendees can better understand (and teach their students) how online predators use the Darknet to hide and distribute CSAM, the presentation will close by discussing several international CSAM-hosting darknet sites.
