When there are no child protection policies in place, children are at increased risk of sexual exploitation. In this case, lodge staff accepted bribes in exchange for secrecy. They also provided pornography and liquor.

Identifying the child is the first step to identifying & catching the offender. But in the majority of cases, victims remain anonymous.
