ORLANDO, Fla. - Detectives on Wednesday released a photograph they hope will help them identify a girl seen in a series of sexually explicit pictures that were taken at a Walt Disney World hotel and other locations and have circulated over the Internet for the past three years.


The newly released photo is of another girl who investigators do not believe was sexually exploited.

But the backgrounds of the images of the two girls have enough similarities, including furniture and exercise equipment, that detectives believe they may have been in the same place at the same time, said Sgt. Matt Irwin, a sheriff's detective.

The second girl's image was included in a collage found on the Internet that included the sexually exploited girl, who detectives believe has been sexually abused almost daily for the past several years and has appeared in 200 explicit photos.

Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said the photo was being released "in hopes that if a citizen can identify her, it will greatly increase the chances of successfully identifying the perpetrator and recovering the victim."

Detectives do not know who the girls are or where they live, but they believe one of the images of the sexually exploited girl was taken at a Walt Disney World hotel several years ago, when she appeared to be about 9.

"Our hearts go out to the victim and her loved ones as we do everything we can to support law enforcement in its investigation," Disney spokeswoman Kim Prunty said in a statement.

The image made public Wednesday shows a grade-school-age girl with black bangs, a lime-colored halter top and cut-off blue jeans. She is seen holding a pink electronic game.

Authorities are offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the girl, who was described as a material witness.

Child-porn investigators in Toronto discovered the pictures of the abused girl on the Internet and released some of them after digitally removing the victim in hopes of determining where the photos were taken. Clues from some of the photos suggest she may live in the northeastern United States or southeast Canada.

More charges for child porn convict
Pictures of adopted Russian girl showed up on porn sites
Wednesday, June 1, 2005

(CNN) -- An adoptive father serving a 15-year sentence in federal prison for producing Internet pornography depicting his preteen daughter now faces 11 state charges, the district attorney's office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, said Wednesday.

Conviction on all counts could result in a life sentence, said the Allegheny County District Attorney's office.

The man's name is being withheld to protect the girl's identity. The Pittsburgh engineer was convicted in 2003 on federal charges of producing and possessing child pornography involving the girl.

The Russian-born, blond-haired child was 5 when he adopted her as a single parent. He was 45.

Now about 11, she was adopted by a family in another state and is living under a new name, U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan for the Western District of Pennsylvania told reporters last month.

The girl was the focus of an intense search by Canadian police beginning in 2003.

It ended a few weeks ago when word came that the girl had been rescued by federal agents in the United States and that her father was in prison.

Police have said more than 200 sexually explicit photos of the girl remain on the Web and are traded by pedophiles.

The 11 new charges the man faces are: child rape, involuntary deviant sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault, unlawful contact with a minor, sex abuse of a child, sex abuse photography, unlawful restraint, incest, obscenity, corruption of a minor, and indecent assault

He is to be arraigned June 23, said the district attorney's office in Pittsburgh.

Police in Orlando, Florida, became involved in late April when their counterparts in Toronto, Ontario, tipped off by European authorities, released a photo of a room where the girl was allegedly abused.

Because the Toronto authorities were unable to show the underage victim, they digitally removed her from the photos, but left intact the rooms and other surroundings for public scrutiny,

Someone recognized the bedspread in a photo as one used in Walt Disney's Port Orleans Resort French Quarter in Orlando.

Investigators believe the photos indicate the father took the girl to Orlando in June 2001.

Buchanan, the U.S. attorney, said FBI agents were carrying out a search warrant for child pornography on the man's Pittsburgh home in 2003 when they discovered the child.

It's disgusting what people will do to children just because they are bigger and can make children do things that they don't understand.
