Child exploitation thrives in the unseen corners of our world, exploiting innocence & vulnerability.
A Complex Web Unraveled: In late July, an agency reached out for help identifying the predator(s) responsible for physical abuse of children and child sexual abuse (CSAM) images. Our team was provided redacted images, the country of origin, and a potential hotel chain to work with. We used open-source intelligence to pinpoint the precise location— a breakthrough that empowered local authorities to recover three victims and arrest of two offenders. This case once again underscored the vital importance of collaboration and trust among agencies.
A Digital Predator Exposed: In another chilling scenario, a young girl entangled in a predator’s promise of money for sex became the key to unveiling a broader scheme of sexual extortion. Utilizing Google data, we not only corroborated the survivor’s story but also uncovered a harrowing pattern: 65 additional girls and women targeted by the same individual. This stark revelation not only facilitated the suspect’s identification but also highlighted the critical role of digital evidence in validating victims’ experiences and holding offenders accountable.

Sextortion is a rising concern in every community and every child who has a device is at risk. Using the grooming process, predators find children they meet in person or online and build a relationship with them.
Grooming is a common tactic used by predators to connect with victims and gain their trust. Do you know what to watch for?
