Helping Rescue Children From Abuse

The Innocent Justice Foundation leverages high technology solutions to help rescue millions of American children who are being sexually abused and prevent future abuse.

Our job

  1. to enable the investigation and prosecution of every child pornography offense in the U.S., and
  2. to help the public understand the true nature and scope of child pornography crimes and victims in the U.S.

We take requests for equipment, training and other desperately-needed resources from law enforcement nationwide battling on the front lines to rescue our children from sexual abuse. They often work with outdated computers, no vehicles, and limited manpower. Additionally, viewing thousands of pictures of children as young as infants being raped and tortured can be extremely traumatizing.

They need our help. Small investments in key technology can significantly increase productivity from teams. Each advance translates into large numbers of American children rescued from their abusers and the prevention of a considerable number of future sex crimes.

We offer hope. The hope, that for the first time in the history of mankind, we have a tool that can significantly reduce child sexual abuse in America in our lifetime.
