Overview

The internet has helped make child abuse terrifyingly common - it is the new face of crime in the 21st century. There are tens, probably hundreds of thousands of children whose sexual abuse has been electronically recorded and distributed on the Internet. One Child At A Time goes behind the headlines to show how law officers are fighting back against this tide of abuse, from daring rescues in homes and monitoring chatrooms to the seizures of millions of dollars in the offshore bank accounts of the porn merchants. In riveting detail, Julian Sher shows how clue by clue, and image by image, international investigators are using modern techniques and old-fashioned police-work to catch the perpetrators and rescue the victims - children whose images can cross the world in seconds and be duplicated in moments.
