As of today, a portal for reporting materials related to sexual abuse of children online — StopCrime — is operating in Ukraine, the Cyber Police informs.

You can report a possible crime on the topic of sexual violence against children on the Internet using the link.

The sent message can be anonymous. The main thing is to provide a link where the content is posted. For further investigation and blocking of such content, the public organization «Mahnoliia», as a member of the International Network, will collect, analyze and transfer it to the Cyber Police Department and Interpol.

«On this portal, people can leave messages about facts of sexual abuse of children on the Internet and learn more about online safety. Confirmed information will immediately be sent to law enforcement officers for investigation and exposure of criminals,» said the head of the Cyber Police Department Yurii Vykhodets.

The NGO «Mahnoliia» is responsible for the operation and processing of online appeals and will contribute to the documentation and investigation of crimes committed against children. She is also a member of INHOPE, an international network of online child sexual abuse hotlines. The Ministry of Digital began consulting with INHOPE even before the start of a full-scale invasion.

We will remind, in the Mykolaiv region, a man is suspected of kidnapping a missing 8-year-old girl. During the interrogation, the detainee told the law enforcement officers that he had stolen the child from the house and carried it in his arms to a hole he had dug near the airfield.
