Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (OSEC)
Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (OSEC) is a form of modern slavery that was unimaginable before the digital age.
It is a global crime wherein children are sexually abused by traffickers who then spread or sell images or videos of the exploitation online – even live streaming the abuse for sex offenders to direct from anywhere in the world.
Children as young as two years are at-risk of being exploited at the hands of the abusers.
Before the internet, customers had to travel to the Philippines to purchase sex with a minor. Traffickers recruited vulnerable teens and coerced them to work in bars or clubs. Now, paedophiles and predators can enter the homes of Filipino children through a simple internet connection. Victims tend to be young—some under 2 years old—and the traffickers tend to be trusted family members who earn quick cash by exploiting children in their care.
