Online and Technology-Facilitated Exploitation FAQs
1. What Is Child Sexual Exploitation Online?
According to the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), child sexual exploitation online is when abusers use online communication platforms or the internet to facilitate the sexual abuse of a minor. Minors can’t legally give consent. So even if the sexual material was willingly produced at the child, it is considered sexual exploitation.
Examples include:
- Online enticement and grooming.
- Child sex abuse material.
- Sextortion.
- Livestreaming sexual exploitation.
- Self-generated sexual content.
2. What are Some Common Online Exploitation Schemes?
Any unsolicited email or online message that promises rewards, claims knowledge of the person, or is an organization asking for unknown debt to be paid should be met with skepticism. Here are some common types of online fraud.
- Phishing and identity scams. Exploiters send emails, texts or messages that look like they’re from a legitimate company (maybe the name is almost exactly the same), with the goal of stealing personal information.
- Impersonation scams. Exploiters pretend to be an authority figure like the IRS or a utility company and demand payment for a bill the victim didn’t know they had.
- Finance and Romance scams. Exploiters build fake profiles on dating sites and build emotional trust and relationships before asking for money.
- Investment scams. These are heavily marketed on social media and promise high returns for low investment.
3. What is Considered Abuse of Vulnerable Adults?
Abuse of vulnerable adults is a form of online exploitation that targets adults with cognitive impairment and the elderly with the goal of gaining access to personal information like social security numbers or passwords, or money.
4. What is Sextortion?
Sextortion is when someone threatens to release your private photos or videos unless you pay them money or send them more images.
