The UK has 835,000 individuals who represent a sexual risk to children. The proliferation of online child sexual abuse material poses an increasing threat to children. Currently, Border Force lacks the statutory power to search digital devices for such materials due to outdated legislation from 1979 that does not accommodate modern technology like smartphones and tablets. This leaves potential predators undetected at entry points, despite evidence suggesting they may be carrying illegal child abuse material. The hon. Member for Mid Derbyshire is concerned about the gap in law enforcement's ability to search digital devices of individuals entering or leaving the UK, which allows potential perpetrators of child sexual abuse to avoid detection and prosecution. She cites statistics from the Office for National Statistics that estimate 7.5% of children in England and Wales will experience some form of sexual abuse before age 16, equivalent to over 3 million people. Additionally, she highlights the rapid increase in online child sexual abuse imagery involving seven to ten-year-olds, which has more than doubled since 2010.
