Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) is a term used to refer to any visual or audio material that depicts sexual abuse or exploitation of children. This includes photographs, videos, and other media that show children being subjected to sexual acts or sexual violence.
CSAM is a serious crime that violates the rights and dignity of children. It is also a form of child abuse, as it exposes children to harm and trauma.
The production, distribution, and possession of CSAM are illegal in many countries, including the United States. These crimes are punishable by imprisonment and fines, and they can also carry other penalties, such as sex offender registration.
