Protect Kids Online

The End Online Sexual Exploitation and Abuse of Children (OSEAC) Coalition is a U.S. advocacy coalition that aims to improve U.S. government policies and programs to better prevent and address the online sexual exploitation and abuse of children and provide appropriate support to survivors.

Our Main Objectives

To galvanize champions, political will and leadership within U.S. Congress to prioritize the prevention of and response to the online sexual abuse and exploitation of children.

To pass legislation and support government programs that address the gaps and weaknesses within the U.S.’s current legal framework.

To increase U.S budgetary allocations to government-led programs that support the prevention of and response to online sexual exploitation and abuse of children.

Some Key Statistics

Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)

In 2024, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) received more than 20 million reports of suspected child sexual abuse materials (CSAM), representing over 62 million images, videos and other files.

Online Enticement

Online enticement involves an adult communicating with a child for sexual purposes. In 2024, NCMEC saw a 192% increase in online enticement reports. Enticement includes sextortion, where a predators blackmails a victim, often a child, over sexual images. 1 in 17 kids now say they have been victims of attempted sextortion.

Younger Victims

In 2024, the Internet Watch Foundation found that children ages 7-10 represented the majority of victims of CSAM, a change from previous years when 11-13-year-old victims represented the majority.

AI-Facilitated Images and Abuse

AI-generated CSAM images have exploded in the last couple years, growing more than 1300% since 2023 alone. Emerging technologies including nudifying apps, ai chatbots, and other ai-powered tools and platforms present new sexual exploitation risks to children.

What Is OSEAC?

Online Sexual Exploitation and Abuse of Children (OSEAC) are “all acts of a sexually exploitative or abusive nature carried out against a child that have, at some stage, a connection to the online environment.” This can include the production and distribution of child sexual abuse materials, grooming, sextortion, and live-streaming of abusive acts.
