Internet Luring - Statistics

Some statistics found by the U.S. Department of Justice:

Many of these solicitations occur in Internet chat rooms, where predators may assume a false identity and work for weeks, months or years to make contact in the real world with their victim.
bulletNineteen percent of young Internet users received an unwanted sexual solicitation in the past year.
bulletFive percent of the surveyed youth received a distressing sexual solicitation.
bulletThree percent received an aggressive solicitation involving offline contact or attempts or requests for offline contact.

Quote from a Letter to the Editor: 

"Never has their been such damning data to call our government, justice systems and public to action. Internet Sex Crimes Against Children Task Force experts call it a social epidemic: 44,970 computers nationwide distribute visuals of criminals raping and sexually abusing kids. Albeit, the software designed to help officers trace photos to Internet Protocol addresses is only able to detect about half the offenders each time it sweeps the World Wide Web. This means the 205,305 abuse images found in Canada is gut wrenchingly higher -- we rank fourth, globally, as distributors. Detectives say the pictures are "out there for life." ~ Janet Gritter (Ontario)
