Caveats:
The data is correct as at 13 July 2021.

A keyword search of the Initial Modus Operandi (MO) Field has been performed on our system over the requested period. However, this may not provide a true picture as the details of the offence may be captured within the investigation log or attached documentation (i.e. witness statements, etc.), which are fields/areas that we are unable search. Any keyword search may not be entirely accurate and any results would not necessarily answer your submission, and, therefore, could be highly inaccurate and misleading.
The total number of crimes which mention OnlyFans between 01 January 2021 to 11 July 2021 is 6.
