AG Clark released 2024 statistics from the Vermont Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (VT-ICAC), located in her office, showing an increase in the number of CyberTips, or reports of child sexual abuse materials online. In 2024, VT-ICAC received 1,082 CyberTips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), a substantial increase from the 853 CyberTips received in 2023. VT-ICAC completed 293 investigations, executed 98 search warrants, and effectuated 41 prosecutions statewide in 2024. The Attorney General’s Office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Vermont State Police, and other county and state municipal law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies participated in this life-saving work.

“I am so proud of the incredible work of VT-ICAC, which is truly life-saving for the children who are rescued from abuse as a result of their intervention. I want to thank VT-ICAC Commander Matt Raymond for his leadership, the human and K9 investigators, the prosecutors, our wonderful victim’s advocate, and other law enforcement agencies for our partnerships.”- AG Clark
