An umbrella term, generally encompassing sexual crimes against children where the primary motivation is sexual in nature and not commercial. CSE is form of child sexual abuse where another person uses any combination of physical or emotional coercion or enticement to sexually abuse or exploit the child. CSE can occur in person or remotely online or any combination of both. CSE can take many forms including CSAM, LSSE, and TCSO. 

CSAM is the Production, Distribution, and/or Possession of visual depictions of a child or of children being sexually assaulted or exploited (actual or simulated). It is considered CSAM if a child is depicted in a lewd of lascivious display of the genitalia whether the offender is in-person or remote. 

LSSE occurs when an offender with access to minor children sexually exploits them live on camera for an offender remotely. If the arrangement involves a commercial transaction this becomes a form of Child Sex Trafficking. 

A TCSO occurs when a person travels across an interstate or international boundary to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor. A TCSO is an in-person offense. A TCSO is CSE when the arrangement is not commercial, or a commercial act cannot or is difficult to prove. A TCSO can be Child Sex Trafficking if a commercial act is transacted for the sexual act.

Also referred to as Sextortion , this is a form of CSAM where an offender remotely entices/coerces a minor to engage in sexual conduct and the offender records that conduct and then utilizes the threat of release or distribution of the material to extort the minor into engaging in more egregious conduct. The CSAM produced by the offender is often then distributed by the offender to other offenders or posted in Darknet forums.
