Abstract

With the spread of the use of computers and the Internet, more and more pedophiles have easier access to children . They can literally enter a child’s home and not be detected. Pedophiles can sit at their own computer and stake out their next victim. This increase in the usage of the Internet has led to the increase in sexual exploitation of children on the Internet. Due to this increase in the perpetration of such heinous crimes, more international efforts were exerted to combat such crimes. Many countries around the world also enacted laws to combat cyber crimes in general and sexual exploitation of children on the Internet in particular . Such countries include the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates , and The Sultanate of Oman. As to the remaining Arab countries, no such laws yet exist to combat such crimes. But such crimes are dealt with in these countries by applying existing traditional penal and moral codes. The crime of sexual exploitation of children over the Internet is a serious and heinous crime that harms the society greatly .This paper deals with the crime of cyber sexual exploitation of children over the Internet, and national and international efforts in combating this crime. This paper also discusses relevant comparative laws and legislations
