Tim Tebow recently presented a map purportedly illustrating locations in New York where child sexual abuse material (CSAM) was downloaded over the past month, advocating for increased funding for law enforcement to combat child exploitation. During his presentation, Tebow stated that the United States is the number one consumer of child pornography globally and highlighted America’s role in contributing to the trafficking of children, estimating that 300,000 to 1 million individuals are trafficked annually within the U.S. He emphasized the critical role law enforcement plays in rescuing victims and combating the distribution of CSAM, urging support for these agencies and warning against defunding efforts.
Tebow also addressed the pervasiveness of online CSAM sharing, citing data that positions the U.S. as a significant player in peer-to-peer distribution networks. The issue of child exploitation and trafficking remains a severe concern, with various organizations working alongside law enforcement to combat these crimes, despite the lack of official statistics or public information available from legitimate and reputable sources. He passionately called for public awareness and support for those “heroes” in law enforcement dedicated to fighting these offenses daily.
