Cybersex Trafficking

Sexual and Injurious Acts Against the Person

Cybersex trafficking, also called live streaming sexual abuse, webcam sex tourism or abuse, or ICT-facilitated sexual exploitation, is a cybercrime involving sex trafficking and the live streaming of coerced sexual acts or rape over webcam. Victims are transported to locations equipped with webcams, where they are forced to perform sexual acts in real time for remote purchasers, and women, children and people living in poverty are described as particularly vulnerable to this form of exploitation; the resulting images constitute a form of rape pornography or, where children are involved, child sexual abuse material, and may themselves be recorded and further distributed.
