The commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) is the sexual abuse or exploitation of a child, for the financial benefit of any person, or in exchange for anything of value, including monetary and non-monetary benefits.
All commercially sexually exploited minors are victims, regardless of the presence of force, fraud, or coercion.
In California, health care practitioners are mandated to report any reasonable suspicion of child abuse. Learn more about when sexual intercourse with a minor is reportable as child abuse HERE.
