Orlando police hope photo will help find girl (Police search for girl in porn photos Update)

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.

I saw that one...

It's so hard to tell the logo... I keep trying to find a picture of this with closed.. It could possibly be it though... Of course it could be a knockoff game ... which we'd NEVER find a picture of...

I wish there was a way to clear up the logo on the picture w/the little girl..

You are right. The game in the pic is circa 93-? because of the 1993 HD motorcycle that was also seen in another picture (info provided by someone else on board) and the pics we are getting off the internet are current ones. The lifecycle of a toy like that is short lived. So unless it is found on a "used" website or someone recognizes it from one their child had it is going to be hard. Thanks for your help here and keep it up.

eBay.
perhaps someone is selling / sold pink electronic toy?
They would have photos of it opened and closed.

True, I was using the logo in the upper left corner and looking at the first letter of each word. What do you think? The color is wrong but the one in the pic could be an older model or bad film, etc.

What is the brand? Don't worry about colors.
They vary with production. Not a big deal.
Did Barbie brand make something like this?

It looks like a simple kids electronic diary.
My daughter used to have one when she was young.
From the color, could be a Barbie accessory.

Who knows? That simple act could possibly bring an end to the horror the victim is suffering.

*************

This story is heartbreaking. I think the more who know about this, the better.

Thanks for the ping, Meeky.

I've been trying every combination I can think of on Google - pink diary ... pink princess diary...

I think if it's a cheapo game like they sell at the dollar store - or Family Dollar it would be close to impossible to find. :(

I DO think that it probably is early - mid 90s though... and who knows if the little girl got it new?

I know on a Disny Board I frequent someone posted the picture yesterday... so it IS getting out there..

Those clothes.

They have some sort of bead trim. I do not much about kid's clothes. I am an OLD, old man. However, is that a current style or maybe from a couple of years ago????

The beads remind me of lamps from long ago with bead trim around the base of the shades. That is why I noticed them. Like I said I am OLD!

Anyway, maybe some of the lady freepers might have a clue about that outfit with and when bead trim was popular. That might help date the pic.
