However, the majority of literature and studies focus primarily on the offenders. This scoping review therefore aims to illustrate how victims of TA-CSA are represented in studies as primary participants. The databases Embase, PsychInfo, PSYNDEX, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science as well as reference lists were searched. Studies needed to be published between 2007 and 2021 and obtain data directly from and about victims to be included in this review. A total of 570 articles were identified from which 20 studies met inclusion criteria. The analysis showed that data can be obtained via different samples like adult and minor victims or other data such as legal documents or sexualized images. The studies researched different types of TA-CSA including exposure to pornographic material, online grooming leading to both online and offline sexual abuse, sexting and sexualized images, and the visual depiction of sexually explicit content. Consequences due to the abuse were of an emotional and psychological nature, medical or physical or impacted relationships, and the social environment. Even though the impact of the abuse on the victims appeared to be similar between different types of TA-CSA, much remains unknown. In order to gain further and more detailed insight into victims of TA-CSA, a universally accepted definition of TA-CSA as well as its different types and their distinctions needs to be established.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15248380231178754","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,14]],"date-time":"2023-06-14T05:35:48Z","timestamp":1686720948000},"page":"1335-1348","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Victims of Technology-Assisted Child Sexual Abuse: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1021-5227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katrin","family":"Chauvir\u00e9-Geib","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ulm, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00f6rg M.","family":"Fegert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ulm, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15248380231178754","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsxm.2021.06.008"},{"key":"bibr2-15248380231178754","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1364557032000119616"},{"key":"bibr3-15248380231178754","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/2159676X.2019.1628806"},{"key":"bibr4-15248380231178754","unstructured":"Bundeskriminalamt.
