Technology is now part of our daily lives. We use it to search, learn and connect with others but how is this increased accessibility impacting on people in the community who may be vulnerable? In this episode we look at offenders who use digital platforms to groom and offend against their victims. We learn about the work of Victoria Police's Joint Anti Child Exploitation Team who play a critical role in investigating these crimes. We also speak with Frank, a father whose daughter was the victim of online grooming to an older man who she met in a gaming environment.
