Reports involving online child sexual exploitation cases, last updated: October 2022
Your report does matter!
Please be reassured that your report can always make a difference. The Internet has a huge interest in our society and children. Unfortunately, the Internet can also be used by offenders, for instances, to view, download and/or distribute child sexual abuse material. Offenders can also use the Internet to target children and groom them for sexual abuse/exploitation.
The good news is we, as a responsible adult, can make the Internet a safer place for children to use by sharing our knowledge and advice with them about online safety, and by reporting suspected online child sexual exploitation.
The Cambodia’s criminal code, Article 530, states that any person who, having knowledge of maltreatment or sexual assaults inflicted upon a minor under fifteen years of age, omits to inform
the judicial authority or other competent authorities shall be punishable by imprisonment from one to three years and a fine from two million to six million Riels.
