Paedophiles increasingly exploit the internet and inadequate social media platform regulation to sexually groom children online, using different digital platforms to cultivate multiple potential victims simultaneously. Current online grooming detection and prevention methods struggle to protect them. In this lecture we explain how, by using a ground-breaking combination of corpus linguistics and machine learning techniques, we have developed a research programme in collaboration with stake-holders that will increase resilience against online grooming. We focus on two practical disruption measures within this programme – an anti-grooming training pack for professionals working with at risk children, and a web-based application to help law enforcement officials detect grooming content online.
