The investigations originated from a previous operation and showed evidence that the suspect used digital platforms to store and share files containing scenes of sexual abuse against children and adolescents. Nomenclature and warning Although the term "child pornography" still appears in the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA), international organizations and experts recommend the use of expressions such as "sexual abuse against children and adolescents" or "sexual violence against children and adolescents", as they more accurately portray the nature of these crimes and avoid any interpretation that minimizes the violence committed against the victims. The Federal Police reinforced the importance of prevention and advised parents and guardians to monitor the use of the internet by children and adolescents, as a way of reducing risks and increasing protection in the digital environment. The agency also highlighted that dialogue about internet safety and guidance for children and adolescents to report suspicious situations are important measures to prevent cases of sexual violence.
