'Don't be afraid to speak up': Child sexual abuse survivor shares hope

The FBI is seeking information on an unidentified man who officials say was seen on video with a possible child sexual assault victim.

The video above is from a previous story.

The unidentified man, referred to as John Doe 47 by the FBI, was first recorded with a child by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in August 2020. Officials say he was heard speaking English in the video.

John Doe 47 is described as a Black man, likely between 18 and 25 years of age.

The FBI shared these images of the man.

Anyone with information is urged to submit a tip on the FBI's website or should call the FBI's toll-free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).

No charges have been filed in this case, and John Doe 47 is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. It's unclear where the crime occurred.
