Experts say cases of child sexual abuse may be under-reported during coronavirus pandemic
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, fewer cases of child sexual abuse are being reported.

The drop-off in the number of reported child sexual abuse cases mirrors what happens during the summer months, when kids aren't in school.
