Information



Commercially Sexually Exploited Children

The Placer County Office of Education is dedicated to supporting school districts, students, parents/caregivers, and community-based agencies in issues related to commercial sexual exploitation of children by providing direct services, training, staff development, technical assistance, and consultation. Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) refers to a range of crimes and activities involving the sexual abuse or exploitation of a child for the financial benefit of any person, or in exchange for anything of value (including monetary and non-monetary benefits), given or received by any person. The commercial aspect of the sexual exploitation is critical to separating this crime from other forms of sexual abuse and exploitation.
