WEBCAM CHILD SEX TOURISM –
COMPUTERIZED GIRL CHILD HELPS TRACK GLOBAL PEDOPHILES – VIDEO
Tens of
thousands of child victims in international online sex crime; cases disclosed
by Terre des Hommes
The Hague, 4th November 2013 – Terre des Hommes Netherlands raises the
alarm about a largely unknown, but quickly spreading new form of child
exploitation that has got tens of thousands victims involved in the Philippines
alone: webcam child sex tourism. In less than two and a half months Terre des
Hommes researchers were able to identify over 1,000 adults who were willing to
pay children in developing countries to perform sexual acts in front of the
webcam. With the help of a virtual 10 year old Philippine girl the researchers
identified adults from more than 65 countries. The video footage of the child
predators has been handed over to the police authorities today.

To show how undisturbed child predators can act but also to show how easy it
is to track them down, the Dutch child rights organisation put itself in
the shoes of a 10-year-old Philippine girl.
Together with Avaaz.org, Terre des Hommes the Netherlands has created an online
petition to pressure governments to adopt proactive investigation
policies in order to protect children against webcam child sex tourism. The
petition starts today and can be signed through Avaaz or via youtube.com/sweetie.
