Those are the following: 1) Online Sex-related extortion, or “sextortion”, is on the rise; 2) The intersection between a child’s real identity and their created, online identity can lead to experiences of abuse and exploitation; 3) Teenagers identifying as homosexual or unclear about their sexual orientation  are more at risk of online sexual exploitation; 4) The live streaming of child abuse and rape for payment is of concern and 5) Younger kids are increasingly vulnerable to online sexual content exploitation.
