KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 — The Malaysian government’s plan to further protect minors by criminalising livestreaming of sex and blackmailing children using sexual images was a...
report launched last September and produced by anti-child sexual exploitation network ECPAT International, the International Criminal Police Organization and the United Nations Children’s Fund with the Malaysian government’s support, it supported the use of the term “child sexual abuse material” instead of the term “child pornography”.. The Luxembourg Guidelines was developed by 18 international partners including the Interpol and various United Nations entities such as Unicef.
On Interpol’s own website on the appropriate terminology for crimes against children where it pushed for the use of the term “child sexual abuse” to recognise the seriousness of sexual abuse against children, Interpol said: “When children are involved, it’s not porn. It’s abuse. It’s a crime.
While VoC welcomed the government’s efforts for those law reforms, Sharmila said the police’s cybercrime unit would have to work with other international bodies to be able to apprehend perpetrators. “In the same way that the police have ramped up their public awareness on online fraud, together with the Ministry of Communications & Digital, there needs to be more public awareness on online sexual abuse of children.
Azalina also said the government will also propose a 10-year jail term for offenders of the proposed new offence of sexual extortion, where sexual images of a child are used to blackmail the child into sending money, more photos or videos or have sex with the perpetrator.
