One particularly disturbing new trend involves predators engaging in live video chats that include on-demand child molestation and rape. This has caught the attention of the cybercrimes division of the Department of Homeland Security, which combats child exploitation.
By posing as pedophiles, agents like Claude Davenport have learned how these operations work. "They will get together, discuss activities that they would like to see performed and actually perform it on their own children," he says. "We've had cases where infants have been molested on live feed. When the violators are caught, their reason for using such a young child is because the child can't articulate the violation that they've received."
