Teenagers (14-15 years old)<br />
One of the major challenges we face in assessing child sexual abuse imagery featuring teenagers<br />
(particularly girls) is reliably determining age. This is even harder in the increasing instances we’re<br />
seeing of self-generated imagery, as the children will often be trying to appear older than they are –<br />
by wearing make-up for instance. Sadly, we see this confidence is often exploited by offenders who<br />
encourage girls into sexual activity which is being secretly recorded. Too often, it seems the children<br />
are not fully aware of the potential long-term consequences; we see the same videos of these children<br />
being shared over and over again.<br />
