Washington—The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) held a forum on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, to highlight the urgent need for lawmakers and tech companies to take action to stop the pervasive online sexual abuse of children.
NCOSE hosted a six-member panel consisting of experts that are involved in advocacy, outreach, mental health, cybersecurity, policy, and research in the field of child sexual exploitation. The speakers made it clear that advances in technology have brought with them an exponential growth of child sex abuse, but law and tech accountability has not kept pace to ensure adequate safety for the youth.
