Interpol Hunts For Suspected Pedophile In Video
CBS News Interactive: Sexual Assault
PARIS (CBS News) ? Interpol sought public help Monday in identifying a suspected pedophile, revealing a technique to unscramble digitally altered images to show the face of a man seen in Internet photos sexually abusing young boys in Vietnam and Cambodia.
Specialists succeeded in producing identifiable images of the man from the original pictures, where his face was a digitally blurred whirl, the international police organization said.
Since images were first broadcast on CBS' 60 Minutes Sunday night, Interpol has had 77 leads they consider worth investigating, reports CBS News correspondent Allen Pizzey. The organization's Web site has been averaging 500 hits per second - 20 times the normal rate.
Anders Persson, a Swedish police officer who oversees Interpol's database of images of child abuse, said releasing the photos sent "a quite clear message" to criminals that they can be identified through Web postings.
He declined to detail how specialists unblurred the photos.
