Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) is a crime that transcends all societal boundaries, affecting institutions and individuals from every walk of life. Even prestigious establishments like King’s College Hospital have been implicated, highlighting that no one is exempt from the risks and realities of this issue.
CSE impacts all classes of society, from high-profile cases like HRH Prince Andrew to victims caught in gang-related exploitation. It’s essential to recognize that “gangs” can take many forms—organized groups, churches, institutions, schools, colleges, or even trusted organizations like the police. Offenders may act alone or collaborate with others, using manipulation and power to target the most vulnerable.
This underlines the urgent need for robust safeguarding measures and awareness across all sectors to protect those at risk.
