A BBC investigation into the increasingly popular live video chat website Omegle has found what appear to be prepubescent boys explicitly touching themselves in front of strangers.
Omegle links up random people for virtual video and text chats, and claims to be moderated – but has a reputation for unpredictable and shocking content.
Global child protection groups are increasingly concerned about predators using the site to gather self-generated child sexual abuse material.
The founder of the website, Leif K Brooks, told the BBC his site had increased moderation efforts in recent months.
According to new research collected by data analyst Semrush, Omegle grew globally from about 34 million visits a month in January 2020 to 65 million in January 2021.
Interest has spiked particularly in the US, UK, India and Mexico.
In the UK alone, traffic increased by 61%, with 3.7 million visits in December from predominantly people under the age of 34 – many of them teenagers.
Omegle has been the subject of recent viral videos from popular social media influencers including KSI, Charli D’Amelio, James Charles and Emma Chamberlain.
On TikTok alone, videos tagged with “Omegle” have been viewed more than 9.4 billion times.
TikTok told the BBC that, as a result of our investigation, it had now banned sharing links to Omegle. The company says its safety teams have not found any harmful Omegle content on its platform but would continue to monitor the videos.
“It’s a trend now on TikTok that everyone’s doing Omegle, so me and my friends thought we’d go back to it,” says 15-year-old Keira from the US on video chat on the site.
“Men being gross is something me and my friends see a lot. It should be better monitored. It’s like the dark web but for everyone.”
In the last six months, many schools, police forces and government agencies have issued warnings about the site in the UK, US, Norway, France, Canada and Australia.
During the approximately 10 hours that we monitored Omegle, we were paired with dozens of under-18s, and some appeared to be as young as seven or eight.
Omegle’s disclaimer states that users should be 18 or over, but there is no age verification process in place.
During just one two-hour period, we were connected at random with 12 masturbating men, eight naked males and seven porn adverts.
There is also the option to find matches based on interests, for example “football” or “movies”.
When we inputted one generic keyword relating to adult material, we were paired even more frequently with people engaging in explicit activity.
We were also paired at random twice with what appeared to be young prepubescent boys masturbating live on the video chat.
One of them identified himself as being 14 years old.
These instances were not recorded, and we ended both chats swiftly before reporting them to the authorities.
A spokeswoman from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the US said: “The speed in which you found possible child sexual abuse material should underscore the necessity of age verification on social media platforms.”
Mr Brooks, the website’s owner, says he has now blocked the use of the keyword, but the BBC has not been able to verify this.
The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), which is responsible for finding and removing images and videos of child sexual abuse online, said the results of our investigation were troubling but followed a recent trend.
“We have found self-generated abuse material elsewhere on the internet which has been created by predators who have captured and distributed footage from Omegle,” said Chris Hughes, hotline director at the foundation.
“Some of the videos we’ve seen show individuals self-penetrating on webcam, and this type of activity is going on in a household setting often where we know parents are present. There are conversations that you can hear, even children being asked to come down for tea.”
In 2020, the IWF said analysts actioned 68,000 reports which were tagged as including “self-generated” child sexual abuse content – a 77% increase on the previous year.
One parent in the UK who we spoke to said her eight-year-old daughter was nearly coerced into sexual activity with an older man on the website.
She told the BBC: “My daughter had seen some videos go viral on TikTok about people being on this Omegle, so she explored this site and there’s no log-in or age restrictions or anything.
“These people were saying she was beautiful, hot, sexy. She told them she was only eight years old and they were OK with that. She witnessed a man masturbating and another man wanted to play truth or dare with her.
“He was asking her to shake her bum, take off her top and trousers, which she thankfully did not do.”
Julian Knight MP, chairman of the House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, said the problems on Omegle highlighted a need for more legislation in the UK.
“I’m absolutely appalled. This sort of site has to take its responsibilities seriously. What we need to do is have a series of fines and even potentially business interruption if necessary, which would involve the blocking of websites which offer no protection at all to children.”
Over a period of three months, the BBC tried to reach both Omegle and founder Leif K Brooks several times for comment.
There is no way to contact Omegle through its website or elsewhere online.
Mr Brooks has not spoken publicly about Omegle for several years.
After six emails to a separate company he co-founded – Octane AI – he finally responded.
He said his site was moderated and that his team did block users who “appear to be under 13”.
He also said in an email that he had expanded monitoring efforts in 2020.
“While perfection may not be possible, Omegle’s moderation makes the site significantly cleaner, and has also generated reports that have led to the arrest and prosecution of numerous predators,” he said.
He also claimed that the site’s porn adverts were age-restricted but would not give details about how that was possible without age verification.
He described these explicit pornographic ads as “discreet” and said showing them was a “classic ‘life gives you lemons’ situation”.
“Omegle isn’t intended for prurient interests, and when adults visit Omegle with that intent, it makes sense to direct them somewhere more suitable,” he said.
Mr Brooks did not respond to any further questions.

A chat site that encourages kids to “talk to strangers” is a dangerous destination that played a part in an 11-year-old girl being forced to become a predator’s digital sex slave, a multi-million dollar lawsuit claims.
Omegle, which randomly pairs up users for video and text chats, bills itself as a “great way to meet new friends” but has become a haven for pedophiles and voyeurs who use the site to watch people pleasure themselves, the federal suit filed Friday in Oregon claims.
The site, which has 66 million monthly users from across the globe, says kids 13 and older can use the platform with parental supervision and permission — but doesn’t have any system in place to ensure that users are being supervised, according to the $22 million suit.
The site also doesn’t require users to verify their age or name before using the product and doesn’t have any mechanism in place to prevent kids from being randomly matched with adults and vice versa, the lawsuit says.
In 2014, an 11-year-old girl only identified as “A.M.” logged on to Omegle after using it with friends during sleepover parties in hopes of meeting other middle schoolers like her.
Instead, she was connected to Ryan Scott Fordyce, a now-convicted Canadian pedophile who was in his late 30s at the time and is now facing 10 years behind bars.
Fordyce immediately started grooming the child and coerced her into giving him her contact information so they could keep in touch off the platform that allows users to be anonymous.
There, he asked her to send him nude images of herself and told her he could make her “feel better” and she needed to trust him because it was “integral to her ‘healing,’” even if his requests made her uncomfortable, according to the suit.
At first, Fordyce wanted to see images of the child’s “smile” but he soon started asking for snaps of her body and then started demanding specific “poses, props, positions and hairstyles,” the suit states.
The pedophile set deadlines for his twisted “assignments”, threatened to kidnap A.M. or harm her family and required her to be “at his beck and call” “at all hours of the day and night.”
While the interactions Fordyce and A.M. had didn’t happen on Omegle’s site, the platform continued to be a central part of their relationship because he forced her to use the website to recruit other children for him, the court papers claim.
The young girl was told she could stop sending Fordyce images at any time she wanted, but if she did, he threatened to leak the photos to her family and friends and told her she’d get in trouble with her parents, school and the police.
For three years, Fordyce held this threat over A.M.’s head. It wasn’t until January 2018, when members of a Canadian police force contacted her parents to tell them the pervert had been arrested for child pornography and images of their daughter had been found in his stash.
A.M. and her attorneys said Omegle is responsible for the abuse the child suffered because it’s where she met Fordyce and if they had employed mechanisms to prevent kids from matching with adults or other safety features, she never would’ve been abused by him.
“There’s no reason for a video streaming product that randomly pairs adults and children to exist at all, let alone without any real safety controls,” A.M., who is now 19, told The Post in a statement through her attorneys.
“This lawsuit is bigger than me, the damage has already been done to me, but my team and I are determined to protect the children after me that are just as vulnerable as I was. Nobody deserves this,” she said.
The suit claims Omegle is aware that predators are all over their website, but that it puts the onus on users to protect themselves.
“Predators have been known to use Omegle, so please be careful,” the website’s homepage stated through May 2021 before the line was taken down, right around the time A.M.’s attorneys sent a preservation letter to the company.
While that line has since been removed from the website, the suit states Omegle still “flouts the dangers of its product” on its homepage by acknowledging that users “may not behave appropriately” and their moderation “is not perfect.”
Omegle didn’t return a request for comment.
Lawyers Carrie Goldberg and Barb Long told The Post they were proud of their client for “channeling her pain to make the world safer for others.”
“Omegle’s popular use is for online sex and it welcomes underage users. The horror our client faced starting at age 11 when Omegle matched her with a child predator was a natural consequence of the inherent and foreseeable dangers of its product,” the attorneys said in a joint statement.
“May this be a bright burning warning to all tech companies that if you hurt children, we will hunt you down, and make you answer to your victims in court.”
