National Child Victim Identification System

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Child Victim Identification System is a massively inter-agency system run by Operation Predator in conjunction with the FBI, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the U.S. Secret Service, the Justice Department, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

This system aims to provide federal and state agencies with a central database of child pornography to aid prosecution, and to positively identify children in child pornography.

The National Child Victim Identification System has been used to convict criminals by proving that the pornographic images the defendants possess are of real children, and not morphed or virtual.
