Öz:
Today, with the widespread use of the internet, online child sexual abuse, facilitated through the rise in malicioussites that offer perpetrators the opportunity to interact with children, has emerged. Online child sexual abuse involvesthe obtaining, displaying, collecting, and distributing of sexual content for the purpose of deriving sexual satisfactionfrom a child. Online child sexual abuse threatens community mental health in terms of the harm it can cause to themental health of children and families. The relevant literature includes only a limited number of studies on online childsexual abuse, with most focusing on child pornography. In this review, a definition of online child sexual abuse and itscharacteristics, the prevalence of online sexual abuse, and the characteristics of online child sexual abuse victims andoffenders are presented in the light of the current literature. In addition, the review also provides information on howpedophilic culture facilitates child sexual abuse and, on the strategies, criminals employ to avoid being caught. The increased amount of time spent online and the development of new strategies by criminals escalates the risk of childrenbeing exposed to sexual abuse online. Therefore, it is crucial that online child sexual abuse be detected and preventedto protect community mental health. This review aims to raise awareness in mental health professionals by presentinginformation on online child sexual abuse literature and to contribute valuable data to future studies on this subject.
