Dateline: Mar 16

Dateline returns for 2021 tonight as Evan Williams reports from the UK on the online proliferation of child sexual abuse imagery.

This is a story no parent can afford to miss. During global COVID-19 lockdowns police reported a huge increase in the number of people viewing and sharing child sexual abuse images online. In the 1990s there were 10,000 such images – today there are more than 47 million. Evan Williams reports from the UK where the Government has pledged to become the safest place in the world for kids to use the internet. He meets the police officers, counsellors and investigators trying to stop the proliferation of abuse material, and he meets victims and perpetrators who bravely share their stories.

9:30pm tonight on SBS.
