FBI Seeks To ID Suspected Child Abuser

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) -- The FBI is asking for the public's help in identifying a suspected child abuser and his child victim.

The FBI says 'John Doe 27' has been seen online sexually abusing a child.

"Anytime we come across some information in a video that we think is distinctive enough to help us identify a predator and therefore lead us to a child victim, we will go to the media," says FBI Special Agent Patricia Villafranco. "No clue is too small."

The distinct items scene in the images include a picture of the suspect, a plaid chair and a gold ring.

'John Doe 27' is described as a white male, likely between the ages of 40 and 50, with brown hair, graying sideburns and a bald spot. Audio taken from the suspect video suggests the man speaks with a southern accent and refers to himself as 'Jimmy'.

Villafranco adds that, if they can find the suspect, maybe they'll be able to rescue his victim.
