The FBI is asking for help from the public to find a man who may have critical information about the identity of a child victim in an ongoing sexual exploitation investigation.
The unknown man, referred to as John Doe 49, is a white man between 45 and 65 years old, bald, with a dark goatee, and has at least five visual tattoos on his chest and arms.
