CSEC (Commercial Sexually Exploitation of Children) refers to crimes against persons under the age of 18 involving sexual or other exploitation for the financial benefit of any person. This includes monetary and nonmonetary benefits. CSEC youth experience significant abuse and have various manifestations of that trauma. For an effective response to CSEC youth, agencies must identify needs quickly and fast track services. One major partner for child welfare, as part of a fully integrated system of care, is the Probation department.
