I was looking for something else, but I came across this study from Finklehor looking at various types of online sexual abuse and harassment of minors. 15.6% of people had experienced one or more type of "online CSA". 4.9% of people had experienced non-consensual image sharing. This was the most common. I presume that this would involve a lot of peer harassment- revenge porn or a guy sharing nudes of his girlfriend with his buddies type scenarios amongst teenagers.

The second most common experience (4.3%) was voluntary sexual talk or image sharing with an older partner. I was interested that they looked at voluntary sexual interaction separately. When it came to the questions on generic (ie offline) CSA there was no such distinction.
