Protección de los Derechos Humanos de Niños, Niñas y Adolescentes. Un Análisis Jurídico en el Caso de Delitos Sexuales Cibernéticos.

Abstract

In Colombia, the regulatory development on cybersex crimes against children and adolescents is limited. This deficiency imposes a disproportionate burden on the families of victims, requiring not only the collection of evidentiary material, but also additional efforts to identify and prosecute the aggressor. The lack of effective mechanisms underscores the urgency of strengthening the regulatory framework and investigative strategies to ensure an effective institutional response and comprehensive protection of children from sexual cybercrime. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the regulations governing cyber sexual crimes against children in Colombia, a regulatory analysis is carried out aimed at identifying the existing legal gaps in relation to behaviors such as grooming, sexting, child pornography and cyber sexual harassment. Although in Colombia there are laws that punish certain sexual crimes, there are still important legislative gaps that show the need for a specific regulatory development to address these cases. This situation also highlights the urgency of adopting effective public policies to strengthen strategies for prevention, mitigation and identification of risks to which children and adolescents are exposed in the digital environment.
