I avoid cases that are just "materials" cases, involving pictures/videos (those would, unfortunately, be far too many to catalogue) - and I also do not include "sting" cases, where the perpetrator is connecting with an undercover law enforcement officer and never actually is in contact with a child. The cases included here relate solely to actual assaults on children in the United States with the reports being published during the study time period. Note, however, that if the case involves someone making the materials or if they're either obtaining them from or sending them to minors, obviously the individuals are also alleged to be committing a crime directly involving a child, so they would be included.

So here we are. The results from the first six months have right wingers tossing around all sorts of accusations about "agendas" and "cherry picking." But the facts are these: I don't leave any cases out or attempt to tweak the data. It is what it is - which is what has them upset because it runs completely counter to their narrative. But as Sgt. Joe Friday said, "Just the facts, Ma'am."

So, dig into the data as you will. Let me know if you find anything that surprises you. I'm greatly indebted to Caleb, another TikTok user, who created the backend/database that provides the graphical interface on the "Data" page.
