Abstract
The deep web has been announced by some as the last bastion of internet anonymity in an increasingly oppressive period, although others find it one of the worst sites on the internet. There are number of instances that have confirmed the misuse of deep web for conducting criminal and illegal practices in a secret way. This chapter provides a description of deep web and the different plugins used to navigate deep web pages. A summary of the different types of online child sexual exploitation that take place across the deep web is explored, as well as the complexities of investigation and response being discussed so that readers can become conscious of this form of sexual abuse.
