ICE SEARCH

ICE seeks help finding woman allegedly involved with child porn

POSTED: 11:38 AM MDT Aug 10, 2012 WASHINGTON -

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is urgently seeking the public's help to identify a suspected child pornography producer and rescue at least two underage victims.
This week, HSI's Child Exploitation Investigations Unit's Victim Identification Program obtained a "Jane Doe" arrest warrant in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for the suspect. The unit believes that Jane Doe has produced child pornography videos featuring herself and an unidentified adult male engaging in sexual contact with two minor victims: one between the ages of 5 and 7; the other between the ages of 3 and 5.
Jane Doe is described by HSI special agents as a Caucasian female, between the ages of 25 and 35. She has a medium build, dark brown hair and blue eyes. She has a large mole on the back of her left thigh. Although her whereabouts are unknown, HSI special agents investigating this case believe she lives somewhere in the United States.

HSI special agents in Los Angles initially discovered the videos during a computer forensics examination of material in an unrelated child pornography case. The material was submitted to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), the national clearinghouse for child sexual exploitation material. The center determined that the victims have not yet been identified or rescued.
Jane Doe's information and photos are being distributed through law enforcement channels by the HSI's Victim Identification Unit, HSI Los Angeles and NCMEC in a unified effort to find the perpetrators and rescue the two children.
HSI is requesting that anyone with information about this person contact the agency immediately, in one of two ways:
Call the HSI Tip Line at 1-866-347-2423. This line is staffed 24-hours a day.
Complete our online tip form at www.ICE.gov/tips.
All tips will remain anonymous. Individuals should not attempt to apprehend the suspect personally.
HSI's Victim Identification Program seeks to rescue child victims of sexual abuse and exploitation and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Yea, one for the good guys

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A 9-year-old boy with a massive tumor was whisked from a dangerous neighborhood in Mexico in an armored vehicle by U.S. agents and taken across the border for treatment in New Mexico, his family said.
The boy and his parents were snatched Thursday from the gang-infested neighborhood in Ciudad Juarez — one of the deadliest cities in the world — after members of a New Mexico Baptist church saw him near an orphanage and sought help.
The parents of the child, identified by officials only as Jose to protect his family, said the tumor on his shoulder and neck has grown so large that it affects his eyesight and could move into his heart.
With no money for medical care, the family sought treatment in Juarez and El Paso, but did not receive any help removing the tumor, which has afflicted Jose since birth.
Si Budagher, pastor of First Baptist Church of Rio Rancho, N.M., said church members spotted the boy while doing missionary work and felt compelled to help him.
"He just came up to us and offered to carry groceries," Budagher said. "The Lord put him in front of us."
Church members only recently resumed missionary work in the border city after suspending visits due to the violence between competing drug cartels. The violence has claimed thousands of lives.
Denise Gutierrez, a victim assistance coordinator for Homeland Security Investigations, said she felt compelled to help as soon as she saw photos of Jose.
"I refused to believe that there was nothing we could do for this boy," she said.
Gutierrez said the boy and his parents were granted a 45-day humanitarian visa for treatment in New Mexico, and a coalition of U.S. agencies led by Homeland Security Investigations began working to get them into the United States.
The U.S. Border Patrol helped the family enter the country.
Asked Friday about the ride in the armored vehicle, Jose's eyes widen before he covered his face with his hands. "I like it here," he said.
Budagher said the church has set up a fund for private donations and is helping with the cost of the family's stay in the U.S. The church is also seeking help from doctors to examine Jose.
It's still unclear, however, what treatment is needed or if he'll need to return for follow-up visits.
"We all trying to stay positive and believe that there is something we can do for this boy and his family," said Kevin Abar, assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in New Mexico.
Jose said he's not sure what he will do when the tumor is removed.
"Play soccer," he offered. "Maybe ride a bike."
