Boca Raton, FL & Stockholm, Sweden — July 22, 2025 — Child Rescue Coalition and MSAB, a global leader in mobile forensics, have joined forces in Operation Artemis, a groundbreaking international effort that puts survivors of child sexual abuse at the heart of the fight against the online distribution of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) within peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks.

Led by CRC, Operation Artemis takes a victim-centered approach to investigating and disrupting the trafficking of some of the most severely categorized CSAM circulating online. The initiative works with a cohort of survivors whose abuse was filmed or photographed, and whose images continue to be traded online.

CRC’s Technology—trusted and deployed by law enforcement across 106 countries around the world, for free—is now being used to track and identify offenders in possession of “Artemis” material. This material includes heavily traded content linked to identified survivors. CRC Technology is available to law enforcement agencies around the world, enabling investigations that would otherwise have been considered “victimless.”

“Having spent a decade managing technology-facilitated child sexual abuse investigations, I’ve seen how often these crimes are treated as victimless,” said Ngaire Alexander, Special Project Consultant with CRC.“Operation Artemis changes that. By connecting our evidence to real survivors and placing them at the center, we make these cases deeply personal and bring long-overdue accountability to offenders.”

As part of this partnership, MSAB brings advanced mobile forensic technology, training, and operational expertise to support global investigators in extracting and analyzing digital evidence from mobile devices. Together, CRC and MSAB provide a powerful toolkit for law enforcement agencies working to dismantle CSAM networks and rescue children from harm.

We are supporting Operation Artemis because it reflects the principles that guide our work, developing technology that enables law enforcement to act effectively, uphold integrity, and achieve meaningful results,”says Peter Gille, CEO of MSAB. “Partnering with Child Rescue Coalition in this effort allows us to contribute to investigations that prioritize victims and strengthen global responses to online child exploitation.”

Child Rescue Coalition’s CEO, Greg Schiller, commended CRC’s and MSAB’s accord stating, “combining CRC’s Operation Artemis into MSAB incredible forensic tools gives law enforcement the capability to more easily identify victims in technology-facilitated child sexual abuse investigations. This collaboration will help bring more offenders to justice, identify more victims, and allow the most vulnerable to say, “enough is enough!”

Since its launch one year ago, Operation Artemis is now active on every continent, with hundreds of cases under investigation across Africa, Europe, Central and South America, the Middle East, and Asia. The operation has supported the development of targeted multinational operations, resulted in multiple arrests, and in a number of these cases, children have been rescued from sexual abuse.
