Data Insights

As the operator of the CyberTipline and the Child Victim Identification Program (CVIP), NCMEC has an important and growing repository of data associated with reports of suspected online child sexual exploitation. Some of that data is accessible here for stakeholders to review. Due to NCMEC’s operational practices, the figures available here may be subject to revision over time. All non-zero figures have been rounded and should be considered approximate.

  • a proxy for the number of children abused or exploited;
  • the number of CSAM images or videos found to exist online;
  • the number of cases opened or investigated by law enforcement agencies;
  • a comprehensive indicator of how much (or how little) online child sexual exploitation is occurring on a particular platform or in a particular jurisdiction.
