Through these efforts, the Indiana ICAC aimed to identify and locate children who were victims of hands-on sexual abuse, bringing them to safety and holding their abusers accountable.<br><br>Beyond these crucial investigative efforts, the Indiana ICAC continued its ongoing commitment to prevention and community outreach.
