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.
You must live in a neighborhood with lots of children.
Let's start a fund to house these guys next door to the judges who let them out.
Judges buy their ways out of the problems they inflict on the rest of us.
Few of these guys can afford to live where the cheaper homes are in the $400,000 range. But, if we chip in to rent a place for 4 or 5 of the worst sexual predators, say next door to the judge who let them out, it'll be a bargain. Time to level the playing field.
Not particularly. Just near the heart of lib-uh-rhul land.

Works for me.

Could this be "My Barbie Pocket Diary"? My granddaughter thinks this is one like she had -- she's older now and doesn't have it anymore.

See post #113 for a side by side of the logo and a possible match. Let us know what you think.
You dont happen to have a sample of the character we could do a side by side with, do you?
Kicking back up to the top.
I cannot find the words.
I don't but there are many sites with examples of the arabic alphabet. I'm not an expert. I don't know arabic, and lack any intimate familiarity with their script. This logo is somewhat calligraphic; i.e. it attempt to be "artistic" and the shapes won't exact;ly match a typeset version of arabic letters, just like many english language logos etc won't really match up to tha characters that we see everyday such as you are reading here. Often they can be very distorted.
What I am suggesting is that anyone really fmailiar with arabic or another language using the arabic script, could look at this an instantaneously confirm or deny my suspicions even if the phrase is meaningless to them.
Unfortunately, I don't have the familiarity required. It could say "Ahh" rather than "hhh" also. It will take somebody else to put the definitive word on this.
It's not a multi-colored image like that image of the Powerpuff girls. It's a purple logo on a pink background. I'd be more apt to think along the Arabic lines than I would the Powerpuff girls.
Anyone who can post the picture in this thread to their pings it would be helpful.
Thanks for the ping. The hunt for this sexually-abused child is not off-topic on ANY ping list!
Mike, sending this your way in case somebody else hasn't.
Lets check the boards and see if there is an arabic speaker among us to help us out. Post with any updates.
www.antichildporn.org can always use help.
This is just so heartbreaking.... absolutely grievous what is happening to our little ones.
Isn't it heartbreaking?
see www.antichildporn.org for ways to help
Yes. I want it.
I'll use the grasshopper heads and my bow first, then you can help with the rest.
I'll consider it like shooting a nuisance animal.
Actually no, a nuisance animal doesn't deserve extra pain.
My thinking exactly...retching yet again.
Giving up freedom in the name of liberalism
