Developmental Trajectories and Outcomes of Online Child Sexual Abuse:  A Systematic Review of Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal evidence suggests that OCSA follows an age-graded developmental pattern and is associated with potentially modifiable risk and protective factors. Prevention should focus on mid-adolescent hazard windows, minority-sensitive support, family-based monitoring, and digital safety education. The proposed Developmental-Online-Trajectories of Sexual abuse (DOTS) framework integrates these findings to guide future research, practice, and prevention.

Abstract

Longitudinal evidence suggests that OCSA follows an age-graded developmental pattern and is associated with potentially modifiable risk and protective factors. Prevention should focus on mid-adolescent hazard windows, minority-sensitive support, family-based monitoring, and digital safety education. The proposed Developmental-Online-Trajectories of Sexual abuse (DOTS) framework integrates these findings to guide future research, practice, and prevention.
