FBI Needs Help Identifying John Doe 47 to Find Child Victim

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is asking for the public's help in identifying a man who they say might have information they need to track down a child victim. They have an ongoing sexual exploitation case.

This is another part of the ECAP program that attempts to identify people who are involved in harming children and producing child pornography.

The FBI states on their website,

ECAP seeks national and international exposure of unknown adults (referred to as John/Jane Does) whose faces and/or distinguishing characteristics are visible in child pornography images.

ECAP stands for Endangered Child Alert Program. The whole purpose of this program is to be able to identify child victims. FBI officials hope you will look at these pictures.

FBI officials say that the first time law enforcement saw this video was in August of 2020. They add that while it was first seen by law enforcement at that time, they can tell based on other information that it was recorded before April 2020.

To find the victim or victims, the FBI needs to identify this man:

FBI investigators say this man they are trying to identify, John Do 47, is likely between 18 years old and 25 years old. They add that they can tell in the video that he speaks English.

The FBI press release also reminds us of the following,

The public is reminded no charges have been filed in this case and the pictured individual is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
