Eighty‑nine thousand devices in the United States are linked to downloads and sharing of child rape videos over the past six months, according to figures presented by former NFL quarterback and child‑protection advocate Tim Tebow at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on child trafficking.
The number is not a nationwide estimate of offenders, but a mapping of IP addresses and devices suspected of circulating graphic child sexual abuse material (CSAM) within US borders in a recent six‑month window. The disclosure has intensified scrutiny over the scale of online child exploitation, the limits of law‑enforcement response, and the role of technology platforms in facilitating or obstructing investigations.
