Sexual exploitation

Sexual exploitation is any actual or attempted abuse of a position of vulnerability, power, or trust, for sexual purposes, not limited to, profiting monetarily.

Unfortunately, sexual exploitation is one of the worst sexual violence crimes globally, social media and online dating, gaming, and chatting platforms has made it easier for sexual predators. Anybody can become a target, male, or female. Minors, teenagers, and adults are all equally at risk.

Sexual exploitation starts with grooming, there are six stages of grooming, and it will be worth knowing these stages; if ever you feel you or someone you know might be sexually exploited or groomed.

Sexual exploitation

The first stage of grooming is targeting the victim.

Predators often look for unpopular or low self-esteem victims, who would not necessarily have too many family members or friends to turn to for help or guidance. The predator will offer to be a friend or a mentor, as a means to gain more knowledge of the victim.

The second stage of grooming is gaining trust.

Predators need to establish trust as early as possible; they will give the victim gifts and compliment them often. Predators might even invite the victims out to popular parties or events and offer them alcohol or drugs. Predators will “share secrets” with the victims to start training them.

The third stage of grooming is filling a need.

Predators will start creating a naturing or sexual relationship with the victim, creating an impression that they can offer the victim anything they will need or want and take them out for outings or extravagant places.

The fourth stage of grooming is isolating the victim.

Predators will put themselves between the victim and any friends or family they might have. The predator has now gained the victims’ trust and will start pointing out flaws and shortcomings and claiming that friends or family are not worthy of the victim. The predator might even establish a role in the victim’s life to meet family and friends and portray themselves as charming and caring individuals.

The fifth stage of grooming is abuse.

This is when the sexual abuse and exploitation starts. The predator will start making sexual advances and touch the victim inappropriately, and the predator will convince the victim that this is normal behaviour for their unique relationship. The victim will start to believe that these sexual acts are the benefits of their unique relationship.

The sixth stage of grooming is maintaining control.

The predator will threaten the victim with violence or threaten to publish intimate pictures of the victim online or even send it to the victims’ friends or family. Predators will even threaten to hurt or kill the victims’ family and friends. The predator will use any possible means to maintain the relationship and control they have over the victim.

These six stages are the core stages, and there may be different methods used; however, you always need to reassess situations and individuals and make sure there are no warning signs or red flags. Sexual exploitation is a very serious crime and can even lead to being human trafficked

Predators are masters of disguise and come across as caring and genuine people; they are your community or church members. You might even have shared a table or meal with a predator. We have all meet at least one predator, I know I have.
