Grooming in the Online Environment
Grooming in the Online Environment

Summary/Abstract: In this study it is carried out an analysis at the European level on an important offence related to illegal content, such as the grooming or solicitation of children for sexual purposes through the information and communication technology, which is intended to mirror a more and more worrying, that of sexually abused children in meetings with adults they initially met in the cyberspace, such as e.g. within the groups of discussions or online games. The offence of solicitation of children for sexual purposes is more easily committed through online environment than in the offline environment, as the children feel more uninhibited in the online environment than in the offline environment, becoming more vulnerable for the offenders.
