About
It is a criminal offense to distribute, possess or become acquainted with pornographic material of persons under the age of 18. Pornographic material covers the sexual abuse of children, but also the reproductions of material of children where the focus is on the genitals. The term "child pornography" is often used for this kind of images and video.

The term is used internationally as a term for cases where an adult person through strategic manipulation builds a relationship of trust with a minor on the Internet.

 

The purpose of building this relationship of trust is to commit sexual assault or lure the minor to send nude pictures of himself/herself.

Sextortion is composed of the words "sex" and "extortion". It refers to cases where a person lures a minor to act naked and sexually in front of a camera, often under the pretext of being a peer.

 

Thereafter, the person threatens to publish the images or videos of the minor, unless he/she pays an amount of money, appears in more sexual scenes, or eventually agrees to meet up and have sex with the perpetrator.

With the internet, the possibility has also arisen that perpetrators can order sexual assaults on children abroad and be able to see and control the abuse via webcam and chat.

 

The victims of these abuses often live in poor areas in countries such as the Philippines, while the perpetrators who order and finance the abuse live in countries such as Denmark. You can report these abuses in the same way as described above.
