The Southern Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children (SOVA-ICAC) Task Force, established in 1998, is one of the pioneering ICAC task forces in the United States, covering a vast region from Southwest Virginia to the Delmarva Peninsula. With over 150 task force members, their mission is to combat child exploitation and protect children from online predators.
SOVA-ICAC provides education and resources to parents, teachers, and youth, emphasizing the importance of online safety and raising awareness about the signs of child sexual exploitation. They work closely with local law enforcement agencies, encouraging the reporting of suspected or actual child exploitation cases. In 2019 alone, the task force reported 291 arrests, identified and rescued 129 child victims, and examined a staggering 745,911 gigabytes of digital evidence.
