Child trafficking and modern slavery are child abuse. Children are recruited, moved or transported and

In China, in response to adult starvation, some children were exchanged, killed, and eaten.
Sexual exploitation
Definition of CSE
The nationally agreed ACPO definition of CSE is:
sexual exploitation of children and young people under 18 involves exploitative situations, contexts and
relationships where the young person (or third person/s) receive something (eg, food,
accommodation, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, affection, gifts, money) as a result of them performing,
and/or others performing on them, sexual activities.
child sexual exploitation can occur through the use of technology without the childs immediate
recognition; for example being persuaded to post images on the internet/mobile phones without
immediate payment or gain.
Inappropriate relationships
These usually involve one offender who has inappropriate power or control over a young person
(physical, emotional or financial). One indicator may be a significant age gap. The young person may
believe they are in a loving relationship.
Boyfriend model
Here the offender befriends and grooms a young person into a relationship and then coerces or forces
them to have sex with friends or associates. The boyfriend may be significantly older than the victim,
but not always.
Peer-on-peer exploitation
This refers to situations where young people are forced or coerced into sexual activity by peers or
associates. Sometimes this can be associated with gang activity but not always.
Gang-associated CSE
A child or young person can be sexually exploited by a gang, but this is not necessarily the reason why
gangs are formed. Types of exploitation may include using sex as a weapon between rival gangs, as a
form of punishment to fellow gang members and/or a means of gaining status within the hierarchy of
the gang.
