Sharing this new publication that "highlights the strikingly high rate of sexually aggressive experiences in young adult relationships"

"But what might be most troubling about virtual child sexual abuse material is it may still feature images and videos of real children being sexually abused." Read our latest @ConversationEDU article here: theconversation.com/virtual-… @usceduau @SVRPU_Aus
