FBI Using Video to Reach Out to the Public in 'Exploitation' Case

The FBI on Wednesday released an elaborately produced video designed to ask the public for help in what agents are describing as a "sexual exploitation case."

The suspect is identified as John Doe 37.

"It is believed that this individual may have critical information pertaining to the identity of a child victim in an ongoing sexual exploitation investigation," the FBI said. Agents did not mention a geographical area.

According to the FBI, videos containing John Doe 37 first came to the attention of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in June 2014. Data embedded within the video files indicated that the files were produced in April of 2012, the FBI said.

In addition, audio from the animated film "The Land Before Time" can be heard in the background of the videos, the FBI said.

Anyone with information concerning the case, is being asked to contact a Crimes Against Children Investigator at an FBI office, or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
