ASACP Hotline Has Processed 250,000 Reports

LOS ANGELES — The online child pornography reporting hotline operated by ASACP recently processed its 250,000th report since its inception in 1996.

In the 11 years of the ASACP hotline, the FBI has reported an 878 percent increase in information and indictments and a staggering 2,174 percent increase in child pornography and child sexual exploitation arrests and summons.

ASACP’s online reporting hotline fields thousands of reports each month from web surfers who encounter illegal images of child sexual abuse and exploitation on the Internet.

ASACP investigates these raw reports to determine the hosting, billing, IP address, ownership and linkage of suspected CP sites. Red Flag reports are then automatically forwarded to domestic and international agencies and groups such as the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).

“We are very grateful for the adult industry’s ongoing financial support of ASACP and the vigilance of webmasters to report CP to the ASACP hotline,” ASACP Executive Director Joan Irvine told XBIZ. “This is truly a group effort and it is only by working together that we can have an impact in stopping the sexual exploitation of children on the Internet.”

In addition to reporting to the FBI, ASACP, formally known as the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection, also is a member of the Financial Coalition Against Child Pornography and is an active participant in its analytical working group.

This coalition of credit card issuers and Internet services companies is working with ASACP, NCMEC, and the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) to eradicate commercial child pornography by 2008. The coalition believes if it stops CP from being profitable, it can massively reduce CP on the Internet. In order to assist in these efforts, ASACP investigates and reports billing information as part of processing CP reports.
