Sexual grooming

Sexual grooming is the action or behavior used to establish an emotional connection with a vulnerable person who is typically, but not always, under the age of consent (which varies by jurisdiction) and sometimes with the victim's family, to lower their inhibitions with the objective of sexual abuse. It can occur in various settings, including online, in person, and through other means of communication. Children who are groomed may experience mental health issues, including "anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and suicidal thoughts".
