Child Predator Sought

John Doe 27
The Federal Bureau of Investigation wants to stop a child predator and is asking for help from the public.

The individual we are seeking is currently known only as John Doe 27. Video of the man engaging in sexually explicit activities with a child were discovered online in April 2013 by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), and those images are still circulating in child pornography forums across the Internet.

The video shows a glimpse of John Doe 27, which investigators hope will lead to his identification—and the recovery of the exploited child. “These types of individuals typically don’t stop with one victim,” said Special Agent Shanna Daniels, who is investigating the case. “That’s why we need to catch him before other children are victimized.”

John Doe 27 is believed to be a white male with dark hair and dark eyes. He's in his 40s or 50s. Anyone with information on John Doe 27 should call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
