King County spike in internet crimes targeting kids linked to COVID December 10, 2020 at 8:06 am

Most believe the culprit is COVID-19, and King County prosecutors think the same is true for the recent uptick in internet crimes involving kids, such as child sex abuse, talking sexually to kids either in person or online, and child pornography, whether trading, creating, or possessing.
“All of the investigative agencies that I work with have seen a huge spike in cases during COVID,” said King County Deputy Prosecutor Laura Harmon.
