Gary, a computer technician, is facing allegations of abusing children online by befriending them and sending them illicit adult images from his office computer. What type of investigation does this…

An administrative investigation would focus on policy violations within the workplace but would not address the severe criminal nature of child abuse itself.

Allegations of online child abuse constitute a serious felony under criminal law, therefore mandating a criminal investigation by law enforcement authorities, which takes precedence over other types of investigations.

While an administrative investigation might occur in parallel regarding company policy violations, the primary and most critical type of investigation for child abuse is criminal.

A civil investigation typically involves disputes between private parties seeking damages, which is not the primary focus when addressing criminal acts against children.
