The FBI works hard to prevent crimes against children.  Their intelligence units are constantly combing the Internet in search of child predators.  Many times, agents come across videos of suspects engaging in sexually explicit activity with children, and these videos and images are often sold or distributed around the world.  Sometimes these videos are easy to find, but the suspects in them are hard to identify.  This is one of those cases.  Agents have proof that this unknown man is abusing a young girl.  Please take a good look at this white male’s picture. You  can view webcam of the suspect (with no sound) right here (you will only see basic images).

On January 2, 2008, a federal grand jury indicted this person for knowingly transporting, or aiding in the transportation of, visual depictions via interstate commerce of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Please contact the FBI if this person looks familiar to you, and help agents get this predator off the streets.

CHILD PROSTITUTION PREVENTION

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

The FBI Crimes Against Children division is stacked with specialized agents in child safety to accomplish two main goals:

1-      Innocence Lost initiative – To prevent child prostitution, and take down the “pimp” predators.

2-      CARD Team – To rapidly deploy a CARD Team anywhere in the country to provide expertise and assist law enforcement during the most critical time period following abduction.

INNOCENCE LOST INITIATIVE

innonce-lost-initativebanner31The Innocence Lost initiative specifically works to take down predators who are pimping out children for money.  The goal is not only to take down the bad guy during undercover sting operations, but more importantly to safely take the children out of the environment.   According to the FBI, there is a nationwide domestic child prostitution problem in which young girls are losing their innocence and held captive in a horrific lifestyle.  The misconception by some is that this form of child prostitution only occurs overseas, but in reality, if there is adult prostitution in a community, there is probably child prostitution going on as well. This project began in June 2003 in conjunction with the Department of Justice Child Exploitation & Obscenity Section and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Another goal is to tackle the growing problem of child prostitution and sex trafficking, specifically in the United States.  Since its inception in 2003, with 37 task forces in place, there have been nearly 900 successful recoveries and more than 525 convictions.

POLICE: Aveion presumed dead

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010
Remembering Aveion Lewis
Remembering Aveion Lewis

The Amber Alert for Aveion Lewis is canceled tonight, and authorities say they are now looking into this case as a death investigation.  Police say they believe Aveion was dead prior to the reported abduction on January 14, 2009. 

According to a police press release, “the department has investigated the reported abduction and received varying degrees of cooperation from key persons in the investigation; which lead police to question the validity of information received from some individuals.  As a result, investigators began to focus on the possibility that Brandon Lockett, Aveion’s step-father was not providing accurate details.”

Conflicting statements from the step-father were given to authorities, and at this time, Brandon Lockett is in custody.  No charges have been filed yet, but he is being questioned. Authorities say they have come to this conclusion because of conflicting statements given, and as time went on investigators were advised an abduction did not occur.  Sadly, at this time, police do not know where Aveion’s body could be, but they have expanded the ground search to find the toddler.

THE BIG APPLE FUGITIVE BILLBOARDS

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

billboard011510

A 30 x 40 digital billboard will flash fugitive faces in the heart of NYC.  A wide screen posted in the “Crossroads of the World” aka Times Square will feature some of the world’s most dangerous fugitives that the FBI is trying to track down.  The FBI reports on their website, “the first three fugitives posted on the Time Square billboard are Emerson Guzman, wanted for narcotics distribution; Yvette Torres, wanted for international parental kidnapping; and Tawan Hines, wanted for narcotics conspiracy.”

At least 30 fugitives have been caught as a result of a billboard initiative.  Personally, with hundreds of thousands of people walking through Times Square every single day, I think this is an awesome way to grab the attention and make faces memorable in the minds of so many.  So the next time you are in the heart of NYC, look up to see if you know where some of the most dangerous are hiding out.
