This study explores the current state of child sexual exploitation material crimes on the darknet and propose countermeasures. The proliferation of the darknet has facilitated the increase in illegal content, with offenders using advanced encryption and anonymization tools. To gain a deeper understanding of the operational methods of offenders and the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies, a mixed-methods approach was employed. Specifically, quantitative and qualitative data were collected through web crawling and interviews with law enforcement officials and cybersecurity experts. The data were analyzed using topic modeling and crime script analysis. The key findings highlight the scale of child exploitation on the darknet, the role of cryptocurrency in facilitating anonymous transactions, and the global nature of these crimes, emphasizing the need for international cooperation. Furthermore, the study proposes a crime control model that integrates technological and policy-level solutions, advocating for stronger regulatory frameworks and enhanced international collaboration. This research contributes to the understanding of child exploitation crimes related to the darknet and provides a foundation for future research and policy development.
