Children under the age of 18 now have the option to testify remotely, rather than being in the same room as their alleged perpetrator or a jury.

The Wyoming Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force recorded 800 tips that were submitted in 2022, the most ever in their history. This has risen from around 200 in 2018. The increase has put a strain on the handful of agents tasked with investigating these leads. The increase also follows a nationwide trend of sextortion cases targeting minors.
