We are seeing new material and new victims. In this case, we saw child molestation on demand, such as streaming live videos.

Molestation 'on demand' and an ever-younger and more defenseless group of child victims are two of the most disturbing trends [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] investigators see when they infiltrate child-pornography rings. This case had both.

This is the worst case of child molestation imaginable. I don't know if we've ever seen a case like it before where the victims were so vulnerable.

I should meet many people who do not know anyone personally who has been raped or molested as a child. But I can't remember seeing a newspaper without a rape or molestation charge in it somewhere, and when I ask groups how many people know someone personally with a history of molestation, almost always, every hand in the room goes up.

The capacity of sex offenders for denial, rationalization, and minimization of their deviant behavior is confirmed by Salter's (1995) finding that the population she has interviewed seemed rather proud of their ability to manuipulate their victims into remaining attached and loyal to them. Salter notes that frequently child abusers target their victims by calculating their probably vulnerability relative to other children, recognizing that those already being abused by others are better prey than the never-molested children.

When I saw her, it was like seeing a ghost.
