Terres des Hommes, Netherlands has setup a new weapon in the fight against the new phenomenon "Webcam child sex tourism". Children being forced to perform sexual activities on the Internet.

The weapon is a virtual 10 year old girl on chat groups for paedophilia's. She is computer animated and she has within 10 weeks identified 1000 men. The list and documentation about these men has been handed over to Interpol.


According to TdH, Netherlands over 750.000 men are at every given moment searching on the Internet to engage in sexual activity with children. There are according to FBI 40.000 open chat rooms. TdH has monitored only 50 of them.

In and interview with Danish Radio Broadcasting (Danmarks Radio) the chief of European Cyber Crime Mr. Troels Oerting confirms that the problem is increasing. He also mentions that Interpol until now has had more focus on the more serious part of this, namely where children are not only lured or forced to take of their clothes, but where children are raped online, and men in the other end paying money for watching.

Here is a link to Danmarks Radio with an interview of Hans Guijt, TdH, Netherlands (02:30) and Troels Oerting, Interpols European Cyber Crime department (Danish language only).
