Belleman and Bicanic sound the alarm: ‘Online sexual violence against children is exploding’

A special episode of Studio Sedee. Because court reporter Saskia Belleman from De Telegraaf is approaching her retirement age, she visits Pim Sedee to discuss a theme that, in her view, deserves much more attention. She opted for online sexual violence with minors as victims. Belleman was present at several court cases and learned how great the impact is on young people and children. The police now speak of many thousands of cases per year, and the number of cases is exploding. This is also noted by Iva Bicanic, an authority in this field. Bicanic is professor of child sexual abuse and co-founder of the Sexual Violence Center. The podcast presents poignant examples of this form of sextortion, maps out the consequences of online abuse, and also discusses what could help tackle this major problem in our society. An important episode from Studio Sedee. Studio Sedee can also be listened to via Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
