The 2025 Dirty Dozen List is Here... And it Comes with a Twist!

TRIGGER WARNING: The following content contains descriptions of child sexual abuse and may be upsetting for some readers.

The world was on lockdown during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Seeking connection, 11-year-old C.H. logged onto Omegle to video chat with other kids. After ending the call with them, she was randomly placed in another chatroom, but this time, she could not see the other person on the line.

The screen was black… 

Suddenly, text began to appear on the screen. 

The stranger whom Omegle had connected this 11-year-old with started rattling off C.H.’s personal information. 

He threatened to hack her devices if she did not comply with his demands to remove her clothes and touch herself in a sexual way. She pleaded for him to stop, but he was relentless. She eventually complied, as the predator took screenshots. 

After the horrific experience, C.H. told her parents what happened. Heartbroken and disturbed, they promptly called the police and sued Omegle for its lack of regulations, which

 allowed C.H. to be connected with an unknown adult man

, ultimately leading to her exploitation. 

But their case never went anywhere. Why? 

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

Despite the fact that it was Omegle’s dangerous product design that allowed an 11-year-old to be connected with a predator, Section 230 allowed Omegle to escape any accountability.  

Section 230 is the greatest enabler of sexual exploitation,

 which is why

 ending it

 is the sole focus of this year’s Dirty Dozen List. With YOUR help, survivors, like C.H., can get the justice they deserve.

NCOSE Says Andrew and Tristan Tate "Will Not Silence Us"

Alleged sex traffickers Andrew and Tristan Tate have filed a defamation lawsuit against

NCOSE Vice President Eleanor Gaetan.

This is the second time the Tate brothers have sued a NCOSE employee in an attempt to silence us and the survivors we represent.

“This SLAPP lawsuit against a NCOSE executive is utterly without merit and an attack on her First Amendment Rights. The Tate brothers are credibly accused* and charged with sex trafficking in Romania. They also face criminal charges of sexual violence in the United Kingdom where their extradition was already granted by a Romanian court. The Florida Attorney General says they are also under investigation in that state. This defamation suit is yet another intimidation tactic that is the Tate brothers’ modus operandi for silencing critics and witnesses against them.

Andrew Tate 

publicly stated

 that he will use the legal system to harass dissenters and that is exactly what he is doing,”

said Marcel van der Watt, President, National Center on Sexual Exploitation.

Cosmopolitan

: The lawyer gearing up to fight Andrew Tate has no fear – in fact, she's ready for the challenge

By: NCOSE Interns

NCOSE Vice President, Dani Pinter, was recently featured in a Cosmopolitan article in response to the frenzy surrounding the Tate brothers' arrival in the United States. Pinter is representing Jane Doe, a woman who has filed a lawsuit against the brothers for sex trafficking. 

"'They've been very brazen and public about their crimes. It is unfortunate that they've gotten away with it this long, they seem to get these little wins… But honestly, I have a lot of hope that whether it's in the UK, the US, Romania, they're going to face some accountability.'"

Pinter, as well as her client, have faced retaliation from the Tates in the form of frivolous lawsuits designed to intimidate them into silence and smear campaigns to discredit their allegations. But they are not backing down. 

"'It was a mistake for them to come here, but I'm glad they did. It made America pay more attention and the Tate brothers can't survive scrutiny, that's the thing,' she continues, confidently."

WORLD:

Stopping Sextortion

An article from WORLD highlights the increasing prevalence of sextortion. This cybercrime is usually perpetrated by child predators looking to coerce children into sending them child sexual abuse material and then using that explicit content to gain extort them. 

"Most sextortion, however, starts on social media platforms, not text messages, and targets naïve teens, not savvy adults. Indeed, one target demographic is 14- to 17-year-old boys, easily flattered into thinking that a cute girl wants to chat with them, and easily terrified into paying off the scammers lest their parents, teachers, and friends find out what they’ve done. In some cases, unable to come up with the cash, the victims

resort

to suicide."

NCOSE's issue briefing on sextortion was cited in the article.

"In a recent

briefing

, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation drew attention to the scale of this crisis and the abysmal job that most tech companies have done in combatting it. Although determined criminals will always find a way to get to their victims, it is shocking just how easy many of these platforms have made their job."
