In any time period when people spend more time at home, the number of people who watch porn, who sexually abuse and in other ways violate children, is increasing.

“Under-reporting of child sexual abuse and increased sharing of child exploitation material through peer-to-peer networks are among the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic according to an INTERPOL assessment.”

“What the report shows is that we are seeing just the tip of a growing iceberg in terms of online child exploitation material.” — Jürgen Stock, INTERPOL Secretary General

“It is important to remember that each photo and video of child sexual abuse is evidence of a real crime involving real children. Each time an image is viewed those children are re-victimized and their very real suffering is prolonged even further.” — Interpol
