Abstract
Online environments and interactions are now fundamental to everyday life. Both adults and children routinely use digital communications technology and the internet – through social media, text messaging, online gaming, message boards, streaming, etc – and this creates increased opportunities for some to abuse.
This paper brings together learning from existing research on child sexual abuse committed by adults in online contexts, the people who commit that abuse, and their victims. It is designed to be read alongside Key Messages from Research on Child Sexual Abuse Perpetrated by Adults and the forthcoming Key Messages from Research on Harmful Sexual Behaviour in Online Contexts, both published by the Centre of expertise on child sexual abuse (CSA Centre).
