Summary: Abstract The influence of technology in child pornography offenses in Colombia, 2013-2015 is analyzed, particularly in the use of mobile smartphones and social networks in the commission of these crimes, through the analysis of administrative information contained en the National Police (PONAL) databases relating to articles 218 and 219a of the Colombian Criminal Code. The method: used was of a descriptive exploratory nature, with a quantitative approach. The results: evidenced a sharp rise of complaints in 2015 (574 % and 385 % with respect to years 2013 y 2014, respectively), where the main feature is that the stage of life lived by most minors characterizes them as more prone to become victims of all forms of child pornography, this situation being taken advantage of by sexual predators lurking in search of victims with low digital self-protection levels. In the carrying out of these crimes, the internet, mobile smartphones, and social networks are determining factors because of their innocent use by the victims and malicious utilization by the perpetrators. Combating cybercrime creates educational challenges oriented towards the empowerment of minors accompanied by previously trained parents or family heads and education centers.
