Sadistic Online Exploitation (SOE) is an evolving and challenging form of technology-facilitated victimization that often combines child sexual exploitation alongside coercion, humiliation, threats, and other intersecting harms.  While current indicators may suggest SOE is low in prevalence relative to other cases CACs support, the severity of impact is high, with unique victim impacts and support needs. This foundational webinar will help CACs understand SOE’s core dynamics, how it differs from other exploitation cases, and what CACs should anticipate at intake and across MDT coordination. Drawing on Thorn’s ongoing field-informed research, the webinar will highlight practical implications for supporting youth and caregivers and strengthening the coordinated CAC MDT response.
