The Guardian wrote an article about a recent report from the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) that reveals alarming trends in sexual offenses among minors in England and Wales. According to police data, 52% of alleged offenders are minors, and this issue is exacerbated by the accessibility of violent pornography on smartphones. The data highlights a significant increase in sexual offenses against children, with children themselves now identified as the primary perpetrators. While offenses by adults are generally more severe, the report expresses concern about the growing prevalence of sexual offenses committed by individuals aged 17 or under. The report cites a case where a four-year-old child was referred to the police for allegedly using a smartphone to upload an indecent image of a sibling, though specific details were not provided.
