Title: Improving Offender Accountability in CSEC Cases: Tools for Investigating and Prosecuting Adult Exploiters Summary: Hundreds of children are commercially sexually exploited through prostitution in Georgia every month. Atlanta is a hub for this activity and has been identified by federal law enforcement officials as one of the fourteen U.S. cities with the highest rates of child prostitution. However, the problem is not confined to the Atlanta area; children are being commercially sexually exploited throughout the state. Ending the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) cannot be accomplished simply by providing services for children who have already been victimized. Those who break the laws designed to protect our children must also be held accountable, and prosecutors play a special role in providing that accountability. This toolkit, which was developed through interviews with current and former prosecutors, conversations with subject matter experts, and academic research, is intended to assist you in building successful prosecutions that will take offenders off the streets, protect our children, and send a strong message that Georgia takes these crimes seriously. This toolkit includes the following sections: • Building Your Case: Tools for Obtaining Useful Evidence (starting at page 3) • Educating the Jury: Tools to Help the Jury Understand CSEC and Its Victims (starting at page 10) • Bringing a Victim-Centered Case: Tools for Protecting the Child During CSEC Prosecutions (starting at page 17) • Appendices Details: Atlanta, GA: Barton Child Law and Policy Center, Emory University School of Law, 2012. 33p.
