<strong>Abstract:&nbsp;</strong><br />
<meta charset="UTF-8" />The Internet has empowered millions of perpetrators who create and consume child sexual abuse material (CSAM), the current&nbsp;term replacing child pornography. In this study, we coded data from a random sample of 2980 filenames from files shared in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks from U.S. IP addresses in 2021. Most filenames referenced girls and just under half referenced children&nbsp;aged 5 to 12. A wide variety of child races, ethnicities and nationalities were referenced. Over half of filenames described a&nbsp;sexually abusive act, most of which referenced penetration. The abuse referenced was more severe when filenames referenced&nbsp;children under the age of 13, both girls and boys, incest, and/or children or youth of color. The findings underline the harm to&nbsp;children from CSAM, suggest the value of a racial justice perspective on CSAM, and support the need to search for CSAM as part&nbsp;of contact child sexual abuse investigations.<br />
