What does enforcement and offending actually look like at scale, and within definable subsets, what is the structure of the lifecycle from contact through investigation through prosecution?
Most ICAC research works on hashing or aggregate counts. Neither reveals how offenses unfold, how investigators respond, or how cases contrast across offense types. Q2 traces the full ICAC/CAC offense landscape -- grooming, sextortion, production, possession and distribution, institutional abuse, trafficking, and AI-generated CSAM -- as structured lifecycles from contact through investigation through prosecution.
Exploitation trajectories are modeled as CAC Ontology state machines. Each offense path is a sequence of typed Phase steps linked by cac-core:precedes and grounded in federal court records.
