If you are a survivor depicted in online child sexual abuse material and you need help locating an attorney: 


A child depicted in sexually exploitative photos or videos has a legal right to seek monetary restitution from all offenders who create, share, or possess these images/videos. Because the process to seek monetary restitution is complex and often confusing, it may be helpful to have an attorney when you navigate the legal system. NCMEC can talk you through these legal issues and help you find an attorney who will work on your behalf. For more information, contact [email protected] or 1-877-446-2632 ext. 6117.
