Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) investigations are evolving rapidly, driven by growing volumes of mixed media, increasing cross-agency coordination needs, and emerging synthetic content that complicates triage.
Every week, the Washington ICAC Task Force receives hundreds of cyber tips, each carrying the potential to rescue a child. To keep pace, Seattle PD adopted Magnet Griffeye® Enterprise as a central hub for digital media intelligence—enabling faster collaboration, smarter triage, and built‑in safeguards for investigator wellbeing.
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being invoked in child exploitation cases as a defense strategy, with claims that images are AI-generated, deepfakes, and that no real child is being depicted—all to create confusion and undermine proof.

In 2023, Magnet Forensics delivered a major breakthrough for internet crimes against children (ICAC) investigations by partnering with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC). The partnership gave investigators the unprecedented ability to instantly match suspected child sexual abuse material (CSAM) case data against NCMEC’s multiple repositories of suspected CSAM data in real time.
The same impulse that kept me running cases late into the evening as a digital forensics examiner is the one that now drives me to help agencies articulate their needs, justify investments in automation, and demonstrate the outcomes that funding can unlock.
