The BBC Three documentary
takes an unprecedented look into the harrowing world of the booming sex
trade, where children are sexually exploited online - sometimes by their
own parents.
Cyber sex is rife in the Philippines with children as young as
two-years-old forced to commit lewd sex acts on webcams for money.Presenter Stacey Dooley is on the hunt, along with the police and National Bureau of Investigation, for sexual abusers who help to traffic children into the sex trade.
She is horrified during a raid which sees a young male nurse holding eight girls in his home.
As the NBI task force heads towards the house, agent Janet Francisco tells Stacey why the raid is so important: "An undercover agent saw a video involving a child with the subject having actual sexual intercourse.
"This is really a horrible case. We need to rescue the child. There was a live video stream that happened this morning."
In the shocking moment when the suspect is apprehended, Stacey manages to ask him questions about why he committed the hideous acts.
He says: "I'm sorry for all that I've done. Because of poverty, being poor. I know it is not enough, I would like to go to jail."
Adding, "I'm not really a bad person," the presenter is left in disbelief as she explains to him that he "raped a child" and did "horrific things".
The youngster admits to the presenter that she spoke to "foreigners" over Facebook, and she went to meet one who paid her £30 to have sex with her.
She says: "I realise I was so poor, I need to force myself to get money."
Another offender who has been nicknamed the 'queen of cyberporn' - Eileen Ontong - refuses to speak to the cameras but it's revealed she was convicted of abusing children for cyber sex aged between five and 16, one including her step-daughter who Stacey reveals killed herself during her abuse ordeal.
Stacey explains that it is often the case that parents "pimp out their children for financial gain" because cyber sex is such a lucrative business.
