The downloading, possession, and production of child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) is a growing offence behaviour of international scale (UK Crown Prosecution Service, 2015) and presents a significant risk to children online and offline. However, there are no assessment and treatment models specifically developed and validated for this offender group, with existing interventions potentially failing to target key risk enhancing (and protective) variables. The applicants developed the first case formulation model specific to CSEM users; the Model describes typical pathways to the offending behaviour, and provides systematic guidance for the assessment and treatment planning of detected CSEM users. The presentation will present initial findings of a feasibility study on the clinical use of the Pathways Model with a community treatment center
