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.

See if you can determine better here. I definitely think the knees are VERY bruised. The right wrist may be a shadow - but to me, it looks a lot like a bruise just where her wrist is lying on that beading on the blouse. ~sigh~ I don't think those beads would have made a bruise.

I'm not saying *I know* those are bruises. But, it sure looks like it to me.

I dunno. I never heard of "hurt-core" before. But, as a mom, my heart is ripped.

Hi 2J!!! Love that shirt!

Gees I hope you win that 883! My first Harley was an 883!!! an '86 XLH 883! Was a sweet ride. REAL sweet. :-)

Still wearing the T-shirt a lot! Think of you every time I put it on. :-)

Sold my Softtail in anticipation of getting a new bike. My biker dad was really anxious for me to move back home and he was already looking for me a new bike. Sadly, he went to sleep on Tuesday night the 19th and never woke up. He's with Jesus now - I know that - but it sure hurt.

Nice. I'm not a fan of revolvers. Pistols are way cooler

IMO. But one person's kick@$$ery is another one's lame-o.

'Sides, it'd kill the perps just as dead. :\

I believe in whomping and blowing brains out. Make the process painful but not TOO painful and then sending them straight to hell on the cordite express. They'll get plenty of torture down there, no need for us amateurs to do it. :\

Besides, I'm a bleeding heart softie. :P

If you look at the upside down images of the girl's toy, it looks like it is a couple of words, not a logo. I keep having the word "Dragon" pop into my head when I look at it, but can't figure out what the other word would be unless it's "Tales". I've looked at Dragon Tales logos online and they look nothing like this.

It seems I have the same thing on my elbows more often than not. They are not realy bruises, these marks occur when your joints come into constant friction (ie crawling, kneeling, scratching).

In my younger days, I'd slide along corridors on my knees. My knees would turn red and have all sorts of marks on it.

Not saying it wasn't a bruise. But that's one explanation for those marks.

I like all manner of revolvers and pistols myself. I have that Ruger .357 because it was an affordable option for a single mom. heh. Now that the kids are both grown I am looking forward to being able to treat myself to some new "kick@$$ery."

Far as my torture thoughts go, that comes from the single-mom mentality too. In need, shoot and kill... the rest will be sorted out later.

But gees those type need the torture, and you're right, they're gonna get it eternally.

I don't particullarly want to think of why she was spending that much time on her knees.

I agree. Just, considering the situation, I have some *real* questions in mind.

Molesting a child -does- 'cause the death of a human being'.
Ask any of us who have survived it about our "life".

Some molesters kill their victims while others end their lives but leave them breathing.
It's a matter of degree, not difference.

Or, considering that we know these pictures were taken at or near Disney World, it could be her name. You know how they sell all kinds of things in the gift shops with the kids' names on them... This might say something like "Danielle's Diary" or something similar. It's possible it even says "Disney World". I just think I clearly see a stylized "D" character as the first letter.

Looks like maybe DFa, DFQ, or DF-a to my eyes.

Kids are rambunctious and active. They are more likely to have those kinds of marks than adults. That's why kids elbows and knees are darker and rougher than the rest of the body.
